Yamaha TD1A 1963 frame








Yamaha TD1A 1963

This is most likely one of the first Yamaha production racers that came to Europe. According to Colin MacKellars book about Yamaha racebikes 120 were built in 1963 and less then ten came to Europe. Some history is known and the first or one of the first owner was New Zealander Morrie Low. Well known continental rider Bo Granath has told me that swedish 125 champion Jan Brening swapped his Honda CR93 with Morrie and got this Yamaha instead when they were racing in England, he also told me he thought it was a bad deal. Morrie Low died in late 1964. Brening raced it one or two years after that. No further history is known before I found it in Stockholm 10 years ago.

Frame number T1 113

What you can see in the pictures is all parts I found.

Price 3200 euro.
