This 1967 Yamaha TD1-C 'Production' Racer is a superb example of Yamaha's innovative two-cylinder two-stroke technology and symbolizes Yamaha's emergence as a leading force in the two-wheel racing world. This fully restored racer is in fantastic, clean condition and offers a unique opportunity for collectors and classic motorcycle racing enthusiasts.
Authentic Racing History
The TD1-C builds on the TD1 series, introduced in 1962 and designed to make Yamaha's Grand Prix racing technology accessible to private racers. This racer features an air-cooled 247cc twin-cylinder two-stroke engine that, with twin carburetors and an expansion chamber exhaust system, produced an impressive 38 horsepower at the time. The clutch, now relocated to the input shaft, along with the five-speed transmission, ensured optimum shifting performance on the track.
Detailed and Careful Restoration
This example has been restored with an eye for historic detail, with features such as the beautifully designed fuel tank, leather tachometer mount and front brake with cooling air intake. This meticulous restoration makes this TD1-C one of the top restored race bikes both visually and technically. The combination of performance, durability and accessibility of parts through Yamaha dealers made this bike popular among private racers, resulting in numerous podium finishes in its time.
Unprecedented and Legendary
The Yamaha TD1-C is not just any bike; it is a milestone in the history of production racing and a perfect embodiment of Yamaha's dedication to racing innovations. The iconic white color scheme enhances its historic character, while the engine upgrades of Yamaha's racing expertise are evident. This motorcycle represents a golden era in motorsports and is ready for a new chapter in the collection of an avid collector.
