Yamaha DT230 for sale

[Trials Rider]

Hi All

I am selling my Yamaha DT230 Lanza, this is a fantastic bike to ride, will crack along a 100 kph all day on the road, they are 39hp, I would love to keep it but I am getting another bike so something has to go to make room, tried getting rid of my partner but she found her way home.

Details are 1996 model, 12700 km, electric and kick start, hot grips, rev counter/ hour meter, new mirrors, almost new rear tyre, very good front tyre, "power now" type valve, almost new chains and sprockets, probably done 400 - 500 kms tops, has an LED daytime driving light on the front, full adjust able compression and rebound on the rear shock, factory alloy rear carrier, motobatt battery probably 12 months old, these motors have lots of torque so easy to ride, also nice and quiet. it has a servo controlled exhaust power valve which works extremely well, holds the port closed at lower revs which increase the bottom end power but if you give it a fist full it opens up and off you go.

I have cut the seat down a bit for me being short ish, the seat is much more comfortable than the factory shape.

I have another set of wheels complete with tyre, sprockets and discs so you can swap tyres for the weekend in ten minutes, can negotiate on these.

Also have some bar risers 30mm, can negotiate on these too.

If you are interested phone me on 03 327 5103 or 021 472 853 or paul@delis.co.nz

They are a great bike,much better than you would think a 225cc bike could be,especially if you are used to 4 strokes. I thought I was getting a dirt bike that could go on the road sometimes to complement my XT600 - but the DT230 turned out to be a much better road bike than I expected,it made the XT600 look stupid in anything but long distance work. I would like to have kept it,but needed to get down to one regoed bike and moved to something with a broader range of use.

Totally agree I love the bike, I just cant justify four of them, My bro Andi had a Kawasaki Sherpa which was a nice wee bike but typical four stoke 250 you were always wanting for power, the DT230 ripped the pants off it any where.

Who ever gets this bike will have a dam good run on fun bike.

Thanks to all that contacted me regarding the DT230 for sale, I was amazed in the amount of interest I had in the bike, good to see motorcycling alive and well in NZ especially in the current economic climate, I have sold the bike, sorry to see it go, the new owner has bought a neat wee trail bike.
