1977 Yamaha TZD 250cc Factory Grand Prix racing motorcycle. Beautiful machine in very nice condition. This Yamaha was the machine of Giuseppe Consalvi, the Italian GP rider. Frame number 430-996438 No engine number. No registration papers, used on racetrack only. 2-stroke, water cooled. 2 cylinder. 6 speed. The Yamaha is in working condition but has stood on indoor display for about 1 year without starting. I advise new fuel/oil and service before restarting.

Piana won three Italian hill-climb championships in various engine capacities and competed as an official rider for Rumi, Ducati, Parilla and Itom, right up to the Yamaha Grand Prix bikes of the 1970s up for auction.
