Just wheel it out of the

Anywhere.
Yamaha’s IT Enduros don’t
need expensive modifications.
Because at Yamaha the modifi-
cations are made at our factory
every year, by the best engineers
in the world.
And our bikes have not only
won every known variety of local
competition, they also picked up
58 Gold Medals in International
Trials events last year alone.
So what’s new this year?
MORE POWER. LESS WEIGHT.
Sometimes the difference
between winning and finishing
is a couple of horsepower.
We’ve improved the power
of all our Enduros. In fact, the
IT250 and IT400 have com-
pletely new engines. Gutsier,
lighter, and more compact—
with smoother shifting trans-
missions to get more of that
power to the ground.
And with the help of our
new chrome-moly frames, the
250 and 400 also check in a
few pounds less than last year.
FASTER, SLOW.
Since Enduro riders go slow
as often as they go fast,
we made the steering S'
a little quicker for /
the slow going. A
Fast or slow, our improved
Monoshock has more travel to
keep the rear wheel where it
belongs. And it’s still the only
system that completely elimi-
nates rear wheel wobble, while
being adjustable for anything
from the Arizona desert to a
Czechoslovakian swamp.
STATE OF THE ART. APART.
When you’re five minutes ahead
of schedule, the last thing you
want to do is spend six minutes
fixing a flat. So our Enduro
bikes come apart fast.
With the quick-release rear
wheel,you can fix a flat and be
on your way in as little as 90
seconds.
Even the air filter can be
replaced with one hand.
____ Our Enduros come in
three convenient sizes—the
IT175, the IT250, and the IT400.
They all have our new limited
warranty. And they all have what
it takes to win gold medals right
out of the showroom. Except an
outrageous price.
Which makes buying a
Yamaha one of the few ways
around to pick up some gold,
without first owning the mine.
