Do you like Classic Yamahas?

[Fz6Sa]

If I could get my hands on a YA-1 from 1955 I would get it!!

Put it in the living-room and only ride it once a year on a sunny day!

Well as long as its a Yamaha I like it, except cruisers and my old POS '73 TX500 that would never start.

I had a Yamaha 80 YG1 when I was 14. My friends all had Honda S-90's
or Yamaha twin jet 100's. Seems I could not keep up with any of them.
So I started hanging with my friend that had a Honda S65, I could take him.
Would not mind having a nice twin jet today.

What year is that one? Looks like they did an R6 front brake conversion, nice!

Its an '86. Being old enough to order its own scotch classifies a bike as a Classic in my book.

IIRC, the brakes are actually ex-R1 units.

Here is a real beauty I saw on EBay some time ago.
I believe it's a 1993 YZF 600.
Very nice old Yammie!

that bike was at least a 97, they had dual round headlights until 1996. they made that same exact design, changing only the colors from 1997 to 2007.

I wasn't brave enough to admit that I had an air cooled RD lol.

I started out on a '79 RD and the FJ1200 is on of my personal fave's .
But 1990's bikes classic ? Now that scares me ,lol

I think my '81 550 Seca qualifies as a classic.

Gotta like a clean Seca 550 with a Bassani pipe! :thumbup: (I'm 99% sure its a Bassani, could be wrong )

Here was my baby until I bought my FZ6 last April. 1978 650 Heritage Special with 3000 stock miles on it. :thumbup:

 

[FZyLarry]

We also have and in the process of fixing up a mid to late 1970's XS 650 B.

Hey, you got my old bike! I bought a '75 650 when I came to San Diego in '77. It was my only transportation for about 5 years and I put well over 50K miles on it. Rode it from Here to Ohio in 5 days, made a trip from Pascagula to Akron in less than 24 hours and even had it on board the USS Moosbrugger for a trip from Pascagula to Charleston. Oh, and I never whined about the seat

Dad and I are in the process of collecting some old Yamaha's. Right now we are looking at the old TDR and TZR 250's.

That 1% got you. It's a Yoshimura pipe. :thumbup:

Thanks for this posting 08fz6.
I owned a RD350 which I loved as a Honda 4 killer (In town) even though I had to service it at least every two weeks and the awesome FZ750 (what can I say).
Always wanted a FJ1200 which I never got to. Now ride a FZ1 which is also pretty awesome.
Great bit of nostalgia here. Thanks for this.
