Adorned in the now-classic yellow/black paint scheme, the Yamaha DT400 was a favorite of the press when it was produced between ’75 and ’79. An evolution of the DT1 250 that created the concept of a reliable, relatively cheap dual-sport, the DT400 ended up not being a huge sales success as two-strokes got phased out and the XT/TT 500s took over.
For more on the Yamaha DT400, check out this Retrospective from Rider Magazine. This example has been with the seller off and on since the late 70s. It’s claimed to have good compression and it comes with a new seat cover and ‘newer’ tires. The seller struggles to kick start the bike now, so it’s time for the bike to move on to its’ next owner.
