Introduced in 1962, Yamaha's YDS2 represented an evolution of the YDS1 rather than an entirely new model. Not so the successor YDS3, which was a new design in almost every respect and notable as the first Yamaha twin to feature 'Autolube' automatic lubrication by means of a gearbox-driven pump.
Purchased at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2013 (Lot 279), this YDS3 is offered from a collection of 'display motorcycles' belonging to a well-known West Country dealership. Its mechanical condition is not known (the engine turns over) and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed. All panels were re-sprayed in 2014. All oils have been drained, and re-commissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road. Offered with a dating letter, DVLA paperwork, MoT (2013-2014), a V5C and one key.
