The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The company's two-stroke twin cylinder range of the late sixties and early seventies cemented Yamaha's reputation for high performance two strokes and formed the basis of many race bikes in the day.
This matching numbers 125cc twin came into the UK from Ireland and was restored in 2015, with an engine overhaul carried out in 2019. Not used for the last 2 years, it will need checking and some recommissioning. The fuel tank has been lined and a new tap fitted. A stunning looking bike, finished in Metallic Blue and with an upswept chrome exhaust, it is offered with a service and parts manual and a current V5C.
