Yamaha 125/100 Twin?

[woodsy]

Back in the late 60's/real early 70's a friend had a Yamaha 125 (it may have been a 100 but I dont think so) twin with high chrome pipes on it. It was Blue in color.
Does anyone recall the model # of this particular scoot and maybe even a websight where I could get a peak at one??
Thanks a GIZILLION!

There where what Yamaha called scrambler HS90 a LS100 and a 125 with high pipes.Cool bikes nice thing about the 70 models are they are the same stroke you can take the top end off a 200cc and put it on a 125,100,90 I have alot of 125,200 bikes and parts thats for sale but none of the high pipe stuff they are like gold.Bridgestone made a 175 twin that was race only Buzz Walnek had 2 of these bikes they ran like a bizerk windmill.There is a Yamaha RD website there is a British rag out there that covers alot of the vintage bike have fun

The road version 125 twin would have been the AS3

I have an old hard cover book thats a lot like a magzine. I think its called the motor cycle sport book. It's late 60's, and it has a great article on building up the motor on those 100cc Yamaha twins. Awesome book, all kinds of cool articles in there, as well as pictures and descriptions of almost all motorcycles, road and dirt, made that year.

ATC: Could you look and see if your book has pics of the model I am inquiring about? It was a 125 twin with chrome high pipes (one on each side). I have yet to find any info any where on this scooter (as far as pics - specs)! If your book shows this could you PLEASE pass on author/title/publisher?
Thanks again for allthe help folk!

[mrtwinpipe]

woodsy... what do you mean by high pipes... the one I'm looking at has two upswept pipes that go over the cases, one on each side. I'll have to write down the author and stuff of the book for you. Sorry 'bout the length of time for this reply, had to dig the book out.

 

[woodsy]

ATC: Not a problem about the time issue - just really appreciate the info! You are looking at the correct bike - the pipes come out and over the cases along the side of the bike. The author/title would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Woodsy

Boy, that bike brings back memories.

I had the Yamaha 125cc twin/two stroke road bike. I think it was a 1969 model. Went over the handlebars at about 60mph when the front fender came loose and locked up the front wheel.

Knocked me out. It didn't hurt, though. I still don't remember it.

One of the few things I remember from the '70s is Tony Winn riding a 100 twin in an indoor motocross in the Jackson (Miss) Coliseum circa 1974. Shrieked like a banshee!! (the ghost, not the quad!!) Unearthly, the sound. I still get chills. Brrrrr!!!!!!

Woodsy... please forgive my lazyness. I'll try and have it for you in like 10 days. Gotta make myself goals...

 

[woodsy]

I hear that ATC, goals and objectives!
Thanks
Woodsy

 

[atc3434`]

Yeah... rough week... goals for this week are... replace bent lower control arm, spindle, rim, and align front end on car. CURBS BAD!!!

 

[woodsy]

Yea, aint it funny how the "goals" can change a the drop of a hat. My daughter totaled out my wifes car yesterday - I guess you know ol Woodsy's goals for the week went down the drain!
