Diversifying from its traditional role as a manufacturer of high quality musical instruments, Yamaha introduced its first motorcycle in 1955. This was the YA1, a 123cc single-cylinder two-stroke strongly influenced (like BSA's Bantam) by the pre-war DKW RT125. The foundations of Yamaha's sporting tradition were soon established when YA1s won the prestigious races at Mt Fuji and Asama that same year. Yamaha's first twin-cylinder model in the 125cc category arrived in 1969 in the form of the YAS1 sports roadster, a development of the 100cc YL1. With 15bhp on tap, the five-speed YAS1 was as fast as many British 250s, and owners were soon exploiting its potential for racing.
This Yamaha YAS3 was first registered on 2nd January 1973. Restored in 2014, which is when it last ran, the machine was acquired by the vendor in October of that year and since then has formed part of a well-known West Country motorcycle dealership's collection of 'display motorcycles'. Oils have been drained and the machine will require re-commissioning before further use. Currently displaying a total of 3,580 miles on the odometer, the machine is offered with an MoT certificate (expired September 2015) and a V5C document. There is one key with this Lot.
