To roll one of those out at a vintage meet, now that would be something. Gotta say though, that YZ, what on earth were they thinking when they put a red chain on it ?? Uuuuurrrgggghhhhhh

We didn't get the yellow ones until 77, so I've always liked the red and white Yamahas.



These look good.

I used to own a honda just like that one. Not a works factory bike though. It was a lemon most of the time, but it was a beast when it actually ran

Did you have a 450, 480 or 500? The 450's were supposed to be not so great but the 480s were reported to be pretty nice... I always thought a 480 would be a fun bike to play around on.

Guess I don't know my honda's too well  :-X I thought that was a '85 250. The black engine makes it hard to see the true size  ;D But even so, that bike gave me more trouble than my patience level could handle. But, the 500's are fun to play on. Power everywhere.

Oh, so clear up any confusion, I was talking about the bike evo posted first, I didn't realize there was another honda right above my other post before.
