1975 Yamaha FS1-E DX, 49cc. Registration number KPW 175N. Frame number 599-302563. Engine number 599-302563.
The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. In spite of Yamahas reputation for performance machines the humble little 'Fizzy' is still one of their best thought of and most sought after products. A whole generation of seventies motorcyclists cut their teeth on this classic sixteener special.
KPW was bought by our vendor in 2018 as a project and he set about restoring it to as new factory with new or reconditioned parts. Every part has been dealt with and when completed it went on display in his home, it has never been ridden and only covered 2 push miles since completion.
Sold with the V5C and period owners manual, if you are in the market for a Kenny Roberts FS1-E then Spicers can highly recommend this example which is very hard to fault, a potential prize winner.
