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. In spite of Yamahas reputation for performance machines the humble little 'Fizzy' is still one of their best thought of and most sought after products. A whole generation of seventies motorcyclists cut their teeth on this classic sixteener special.

This 1976 FS1E is the most sought-after early pre-mix version of the classic 'Fizzy' sports moped in 'Baja' brown. It has been subject to an excellent restoration keeping a high degree of originality. The engine turns over and gears select but it has been stood for a number of years so will need some recommissioning before use.
