1981 Yamaha GT80 – Rare road legal 79cc 2 Stroke, 5 speed, 6v CDI

1981 Yamaha GT80 Minitrail………79cc 2 stroke with oil pump rather than premix, very rare late model monoshock bike with 5 speed, 6v electrics and CDI as standard rather than points, that is capable of over 50mph. It has only covered 8447km, which is only 5248 miles.

14″ rear wheel and 15″ front wheel, both fitted with almost new knobly tyres.

UK Road registered and MOT, Tax exempt with factory fitted road legal lighting – all in fully working order.

I have owned the bike for many years and during that time it has undergone a very mild restoration which involved a strip down and clean, an engine refresh including bearings, piston and cylinder, oil and crank seals etc., new swing arm bushes, brake pads, wheel bearings and tyres. Swing arm was powder coated as it let the whole bike down but all other paint and finish is standard with a really nice patina.

Rear shock is an aftermarket one as with my weight I wanted a slightly firmer shock but original is included and still in perfect working order.

Bike starts, runs and rides although I have not used it properly for a couple of years and think it needs a carb fettle to get it running it’s best. (please see videos).

Left hand side panel is not the correct one and the battery behind that cover is also not correct but everything else is as it should be.

Any questions please ask, it is believed to be the only late monoshock Yamaha GT80 Minitrail that is road registered in the UK although I could be wrong.

Very honest rare survivor bike……. Go on be different!

Collection from Rh13 just outside Horsham, West Sussex.
