For Sale at Auction: 1985 Yamaha Motorcycle in Salt Lake City, Utah

1985 Yamaha RZ350

Kenny Roberts Special

VIN:  JVA1EL009FA000603

The Yamaha RZ350 was produced from 1983-1995 and enjoyed sales success worldwide.  The bike was sold in the United States from 1984-1986.  It is powered by a twin carburetted, water-cooled, 347cc parallel-twin two-stroke engine.  The RZ350 had a variable exhaust port valve called the Yamaha Power Valve System(YPVS) that was controlled by a basic computer. The YPVS could open and close the valve to move the height of the exhaust port and thus affect the exhaust port timing. This provided lower RPM torque while retaining high RPM power. Kenny Roberts raced this bike in larger bike classes and enjoyed much success.

The RZ350 came in two color options, one of which was yellow and black and often referred to as the bumble bee Kenny Roberts Special.  The bike presented at auction features the following:

• 100% Original Example
• Long-term Ownership
• Last run in 2009, with the bike prepped for long-term display
• Low Original Miles at 18,500
• Excellent Original Condition
• Kenny Roberts Signature Graphics
