1983 YAMAHA BYZ 401 RADBMX BOTM winner Jan/Feb 2011
I have always had a big passion for Yamaha`s, as I have ridden them in motocycle trials since a wee lad in 1978 through to today in twinshock motocross on my 1981 Yamaha YZ 465.
So when this BYZ frame came up I had to have it! and wanted to do this bike build serious justice! They are quite rare to find in England as they are French built, hence the time it has taken to find as many original parts as possible. The ultimate motocross pit bike!!
