Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 as part of the company more famous for musical instruments. Their first bike was the YA-1, like the Bantam a copy of the DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the arrival of the YA-2 in 1957. By the 1960s Yamaha had a range of twins that became the basis for the TD and TR race bikes, and the RD range in the seventies cemented Yamaha's reputation for high performance two strokes with models like the RD400 dominating production racing in the day, embarrassing a few larger capacity bikes. Not many Yamahas were sold in the UK in the 1960s, making this a rare bike that has spent its entire life on these shores.

Sold new in Hampshire, August 1969 and supplied with its original Green VE60 logbook, it is presented in an authentic and mostly original condition. The Metallic Red paintwork has been refinished, the frame powder coated and cables replaced with the correct Silver ones, but the chrome, wheel rims and seat etc are original. Not used in anger for a while, the bike started and ran when being photographed and comes supplied with a current V5C and the aforementioned logbook charting its ownership from new until the mid-1970s.
