VIN: M2C-612XX
Model: YM2C 305 Big Bear Scrambler 2 MIN RIDING VIDEO AVAILABLE
This stunning 1967 Yamaha 305 Big Bear Scrambler, purchased at a Mecum auction. Its vibrant paint and gleaming chrome sparkle brilliantly under light, showcasing a high-quality repaint and re-chroming by the previous owner. The bike is in excellent running condition, as demonstrated in the included QR code video, and currently features a reliable 250cc engine (VIN DS5-02328).
Key Highlights:
Original 305cc Engine Included (VIN M2C-61XX), offering the opportunity for a numbers-matching restoration.
Frame and original engine share matching VIN prefixes, enhancing collectible value.
The bike is nearly restored; swapping the included original 305cc engine is the primary task to complete the project.
Note: Tachometer and speedometer are not currently connected.
Why It’s Special:
This Big Bear Scrambler combines classic Yamaha style with modern usability. The previous owner invested significantly in its cosmetic restoration, leaving only the engine swap to achieve a fully restored, numbers-matching masterpiece. I had planned to finish the restoration and sell the 250cc engine separately, but with too many projects and limited time, I’m passing this opportunity to another enthusiast.
Condition :
The bike runs smoothly with the installed 250cc engine, making it rideable as-is. Completing the restoration by installing the original 305cc engine will elevate its value and appeal for collectors. This is a straightforward project for anyone looking to own a beautifully restored piece of Yamaha history.
