1994 Yamaha SZR660 'Sound of Singles' Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. SMVL002

In the late 1980s/early 1990s one of the foremost teams contesting the new international 'Sound of Singles' class was Belgarda, official Yamaha importers for Italy, whose first effort used the Paris-Dakar OW94 engine. Belgarda went on to develop the project further, raiding the Yamaha parts bin to combine the five-valve engine from the XTZ660 trail bike with a TZR-type aluminium twin-spar frame. Add an 'upside-down' front fork, mono-shock rear suspension, Brembo brakes (4-piston front, 2-piston rear), three-spoke alloy wheels, and sexily curvaceous bodywork, and you have an appealing package. Production roadster (SZR660) and racing versions were offered. Described as an 'ex-Vittoriano Guareschi' machine from 1994 (since repainted), this SoS racer comes with spares to include a radiator, crankshaft assemblies (x2), exhaust pipes (x2), cylinder barrels (x2), etc. Offered with sales receipt.

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
