In 1974 Yamaha won the 200 miles of Daytona with a new bike and a new rider.
In fact Giacomo Agostini, the most successful rider in the world, signed with Yamaha and, at his first race with a Yamaha, won the most prestigious competition worldwide, the 200 miles of Daytona.
This model was completely new and revolutionary for that time: straight 4 cylinder engine, 700 cc, two stroke, valve intake. 125 HP and 300 km/h.
From 1974 on Yamaha commercialised this exceptional machine, which brought a lot of success worldwide. This model of 36 years has become a must for collectors.

The here presented TZ 700 has never been restored. It remained in a collection in a heated garage for over 30 years.
Following inspection the only non-original parts detected are the dampers and the rear tire (the striped front tire is original).
This TZ 700 was bought new in 1974 in Italy and its owner has only made some rounds on the Monza race track before he put it into his collection where it remained for 36 years. This bare use explains that there are no supplementary welds on the original exhaust.
The machine hasn’t been started for the last 36 years and the restarting work will be necessary before putting it on the track.
Rare in this condition - the bike is practically new which is extraordinary for a bike of 36 years age - this mythical Yamaha TZ 700 is immediately available in Switzerland.
