The Yamaha YM1 is a motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1964 to 1966. It used a 305cc 2-stroke engine. The model shared common parts with the 246cc YDS3 and was virtually identical in all respects with the exception of bore and stroke. The YM1 featured an oil-injection system that fed oil to the carburettor intake, the oil flow increasing as the throttle was opened. This gave the motorcycle sufficient lubrication for the crankshaft, cylinders, connecting rods, and pistons without requiring premixing of the oil and gas and with reduced use of oil. It had a top speed of approximately 100 mph.

We are advised this YM1 is from a deceased estate. Showing an indicated 8,269 miles and thought to have benefited from a previous engine overhaul, the bike is reportedly in running order. Said to be in generally very good cosmetic order, the vendor advises us that the Yamaha will nonetheless require checking over / recommissioning prior to use. The YM1 is relatively rare, having been built for only two years and this would be a good opportunity to acquire a nicely presented example. Offered with a V5C Registration Document and a SORN Certificate.
