Barn Find.... 30+ Years Untouched

[225DX DUDE]

Never left the 3 wheeler scene as I still have my 84' DX.... but just added back to the collection. Thought I'd share with you all my find.

Came across an ad online of not one but two untouched, Yamaha 225's stored covered in a barn for 30+ years. Original owner bought both brand new and put under 10 hours on each. They were barely ridden and parked as to no shown interest from her kids back in 84.

Covered in dust/dirt all original down to the decals on the plastics. Original tires with the green marker around the rubber.

Attached are some photos as they were taken for their first day light in 30+ years.

What do you all think??

Nice. Why can't I find anything like that? It was pretty much Honda country here but there were a couple of Yamahas and I remember one guy having a Tecate. Thanks for the pics.

Awesome find! Glad you were able to score those.

[Arky-X]

Great find!
Love hearing about finds like this. Now get 'em all cleaned up and post some more pics.

Welp. You know the drill. Clean the carb. Good gas. Oil change.

Nice score. No Yamis in my area.

How much did you give them for? :wondering

Badass Score!

Nice. I've never ridden a Yamaha, only Hondas. Probably be worth some good change all cleaned up.

Those kids missed out on a ton of fun...super solid machines, trail, mud, closed intake for river crossings. Those are goons be some happy tri moto's soon enough. Love a good barn find !

[dustrunner]

Awesome find, nice machines....

[whipit]

what awkward, crazy planet dd those kids come from?
I would have ridden the tires bald ten times over if I had those machines in the 80'S

Just into the trike scene with a big red. I would be down to get a Yamaha if I could find one with not a ridiculous price.

Long time no talk pal, good too see some familiar names still here.

As was I! Never seem to capture finds like these until now.

@fieldy One shall never know!

Time to clean them up and get them going like @Rob Canadian said!

Will post pictures once they’re all cleaned up and ready to go!

probably spoiled rich ids who wanted a Honda and got Yamahas instead so they didnt ride em...lol like a kid i went to school with, wanted a brand new Corvette for his 16th birthday but got a fully loaded Thunderbird so what did he do, he beat the living heck out of that car!! brand new car... some people :wondering
