Ok, give it up, where are you finding all these nice old bikes??

I was thinking that Yamaha cylinder looked a little big. My wife had the '73 360. She rode that on our first date, out dirt-biking in the desert.

Blake, I am not sure, it may well be but I havn't checked the vin on this one yet - or looked for a year on the frame.

To me it looks like a YCS-1, late 60's I think they had an alpha character after the -1 to disignate the year. I was riding Twinjet 100's then, the 180 was considered a "big" bike at the time

Acutally dualsported the Twinjet until I bought a NEW DT-1 in 68-69.

Oh yeah. He left the garage open for me one day so I could stop and grab some parts. I stood looking around and drooling all over myself before I got my engine loaded. Then I called my wife over to look so that she could feel better about the twenty-one vehicles stashed around our place. Ian has the sickness WAY worse than I do!
