Can anyone identify this bike?

[Jmollari]

I just got this old bike the other day for next to nothing but it doesnt have any decals on it. It has a light blue tank, white fenders, 125cc. I know Its a yamaha from the seat and engine but I'm wondering the model and year.

I got this number from the forks - 3R9-004554

This one from the engine - 3V4 - 000427


Thanks!

From the description it sounds like an IT125

It also looks like the bike used to have a headlight if that helps, I may have to order a part or two thats why i need to know specifics.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yep, 1980 IT125 according to the link below.

... only in your dreams. ;)

It's a simple, reliable low power trail bike. They didn't make much in the way of aftermarket stuff for it when it was new. Nearly 30 years later you have a better chance of finding a winning lottery ticket.

It's a great little bike. Freshen up the top end and just ride it.

Ok, since the thread is already going. I just acquired a 4 wheel Yamaha, 1980's vintage, 200cc 4 stroke, auto clutch, says "Moto 4" on the graphics. It has a headlight, and a metal tube "basket" on the front. Electric start, with a pull rope starter.

Can't find the vehicle ID on it. Any ideas?

Could be a YFM200.

This is an '85

That's it, except it no longer has a rear rack. And it's faded red. I think I'm going to make it my new airport vehicle / airplane pusher / fence checker.
