The yr2c - my first adv bike : )

Finally got it re-registered ......... 30 years later : )
Runs like a top. Smells like 1968.
Original, not restored.

A pic from today's ride:

Wow, that is a great looking bike. Especially for unrestored bike. Have fun riding it.

Nice!!

Wow Nice ride

"That is fantastic for unrestored ! Either its very low miles, or it never got " Hare Scrambled" .

Nice bike! How mutch cc is she?

Found it! Looks like one of those bike's never to sell.

Beautiful bike! I lusted over these in high school. The steering damper and those white grips are pure classic Yamaha.

"equally at home on paved highways or rugged cross-country trails"

Very nice

What is that huge nob on the triple clamp for , is that to adjust the bars :huh, very nice bike

You have given away your age... The black knobs were the steering dampers back in those days. Crank in down and create friction so the head don't shake. Only thing is, it just made things worse most times.

I just never looked at street bikes back then, I was always looking at the MX bikes , I am an old fart too

Remember crankin the damper knob super tight when goin down the twisty highway ? Remember the time you left it that way and came into town and dropped it in the parking lot at 2 MPH cause the steering was "stuck" ! ?

Seriously.
I paid $75 for it.
circa 1981.
It had a broken shift shaft.
: )

Amazing buy!! Amazing bike!! Just noticed it still has the tire pump mounted under the tank:eek1

That is a sweet ride. You don't see very many in that condition.

Braintrust?

Worth $3K all day long in my book, if you were closer I'd buy it

That it just beautiful.Where did yoyu keep it all of these year's,In the bedroom?

My bro's heated garage. sat there from 1986 until 2012. He kicked it over once in a while.
Now it sits in my garage.
I gotta ride it more often. Been out on it 4 or 5 times in 30 years. Pathetic.
