Bubber Posted November 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2010 Well kind of. It is new to me and not so new to the previous owner. It is a 1967 Yamaha 180 cc. I was at my wife's cousin and he had to go out in the country to pick-up a tractor, so I went along. Well we were standing there shooting the breeze and I noticed a MC in the garage. So I asked about it and the guy says they were going to move it to the shed and kind of forget about it. So I am in there looking at it and it rolled back and forth so I wheeled it out into the sun light which it hasn't seen in years. It had been dropped while they were riding it in the yard and bent the handle bars and busted a light other than that it was all there except a side cover and the chain which they located a little latter. Well after all the dickering and hemming and hawing I ended up buying the bike. I think I may have been taken though the guy I was negotiating with, well it wasn't his first rodeo that is for sure. He was in his 80's and had been around. Well I opened my wallet and negotiated that last little bit I could befor I paid him. I hope I didn't over pay to much. Is $22.00 to much?? :crying: CASH TOO! My brother-in-law thinks I overpaid and got snookered and he is always right, just ask him. Dang I hate that when that happens. Oh well something to fool with this winter.

Bubber Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted November 1, 2010 pictures.... so where are the pictures? 2stroke or 4 stroke? 1 cyl or 2 cyl street or trail? Since I took the car to her cousins I didn't have a way to haul it back so her cousin is dropping it off on his way to go deer hunting in Wisconsin on Nov 17th. Here is what I know (and not for sure) 2 cyl 2 cycle 180 cc what I remember the pipes are high and there was a skid plate. I tried to look it up on the internet and they had way to many designations back then. I think it is a YR1 (maybe) YL1 ???? It was confusing and they all looked pretty much alike. It for sure is a 180cc. chrome fenders frt and back long tank with a rubber pad on the side with Yamaha name plate. tail light was high key was in the headlight bucket side handle bars had a bar across the bars from one side to the other. everyting else is a blurr.

rentalguy1 Posted November 1, 2010 Share #7 Posted November 1, 2010 There was only one designation in 67 for that engine size. It should be a YCS1 Bonanza 180. NADA gives a range of $550 in fair condition up to $1925 in excellent condition. Sounds like you made a good deal. Here is some info on the bike http://classic-motorbikes.net/gallery~yamaha-ycs1-gallery and here is a metric butt-ton of pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coy55boy Posted November 1, 2010 Share #10 Posted November 1, 2010 http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/yamaha_sc1.jpg I am pretty sure this is the machine. Hmmm, looks like the tank is on backwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share #15 Posted November 18, 2010 Well my 3rd Gen arrived today! Courtesy of my wife's cousin, Wes. I guess now I have something to play with this winter. It turns out the title says it is a 69 CS1. It is a 180cc twin two stroke. Any body got parts for this dinosaur? handle bars front blinker lens manual would help too. others I am sure.
