Yamaha Other description

For sale is a very good to excellent original 1971 Yamaha HS-1B 90cc 2-stroke twin.   Bike is in original unrestored, but very unmolested and great looking and running condition.  45 year old bike has normal nicks and some light surface corrosion patina on rear light bracket, but not much else..

Motor starts and runs great, with an awesome 2-stroke twin sound. Carbs are clear and run great at idle, low, mid, and full throttle.   Motor pulls great once warmed up and is totally stock.   Original Yamalube oil tank and pump work perfectly and oil injection not a concern here.  Original twin chrome mufflers in excellent to pristine shape,  best I've seen and all baffles intact, no rust.   Bikes clutch and shifting are perfect no issues,   this bike pulls strong to 50 mph likely more if run out,  but I have mainly just ran it in subdivision as a "fun" bike.....

Electrical tail light good and brake light,  turn signals,  just no instrument light and headlight,  but these are bulbs needed, about the biggest flaw!   Tach and speedo work perfectly no issues. Brakes also good as well as tires and chain.   Chrome chain guide very nice.   No rot inside tank at all and petcock is clear and flows well.  

Only think I would do to keep the bike long term is pull top end and inspect, replace head gaskets and re-torque heads.   Put fresh rings in for long term,  but no signs needing that, compression run out and running are all excellent.  Also, replace the instrument and headlamp bulbs.  All else working well. 

In short excellent running and very, very nice original cosmetics rare 90cc 2 stroke twin model, nice paint, and a super fun bike, rarer than the endure singles, runs out strong for a 90cc typical Yamaha excellent engineering.  Needs nothing to enjoy and ride and show.   No trades, selling outright as thinning my vintage collection.  You will enjoy this motorcycle,  rare model and condition!

Note no title.  Georgia does not require titles prior to 1985 and I did not receive one when I purchased it in a package sale from Arizona seller 10 years ago.

Shipping buyers responsibility,  but no rush on pick-up...see deposit and full payment terms please.  I have great feedback and expect winning bidders to complete transaction.  Non paying bidders reported.

Yamaha Developing 250cc Sportbike for India in 2014

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

Yamaha has been rumored to be working on a 250cc sportbike for quite some time now. In fact, the other three members of the Japanese Big Four have launched new models in the small-displacement segment in recent years, but none of these new generation small-displacement bikes bear Yamaha‘s crossed tuning fork logo. That may change by 2014 however.
