1972 Yamaha LS2

The 1972 Yamaha LS2 was produced from the fall of 1971 thru the spring of 1973. Approximately 12,000 of these motorcycles were manufactured with an MSRP of $450 USD. The NADA motorcycle Blue Book shows a present day value of $1,175 USD.



That is the value for one in excellent condition. Anybody that is asking over $1,500 USD for one of these vintage motorcycles and expects to sell it in this market is completely delusional.

I am currently in the process of
restoring one that has 2,425 original miles. My initial investment in the motorcycle was $600.00 and I have have pumped another $1,100.00 into parts etc. in addition to the price that I paid for it and it's still not complete.

I'm writing this to say when responding to classifieds on Strike Lightning Used Yamaha Motorcycles for Sale for a 1972 Yamaha LS2 for sale that the buyer should beware and pay attention to the stated NADA Blue Book price to avoid being overcharged! These motorcycles are not cheap to restore and if you're not careful you can easily be anyway over your head.
