1972 Yamaha 100cc LS2
Frame no. LS2-002959
Engine no. LS2-002959

During the 1970s and the Japanese supremacy on the market, the 'Big Fours' were engaging fights on all segments of the market, from the lightweights 50cc bikes to the heavyweights going to 1000cc. Representing the entry market, the lightweight bikes battle was probably one of the most interesting, both by the diversity of bikes that could be developed and released as by the size of the market.

Among the different models released by Japanese manufacturers, many bikes met success and got a long life but some of them did not get the attention expected and were therefore short-lived. This is the case of the Yamaha LS2 that was produced for one year only, in 1972. Featuring a 100cc twin-cylinder engine producing 10 horsepower, the LS2 was actually a pretty strong weapon for the city being smooth, flexible and yet rather rapid from 0mph to 40mph. With chromes all around and nice 1970s color styling, the LS2 is a good representant of that era of motorcycling, and having been produced for one year only, it is getting rare to see that model around.
