Not your usual big burly bike, I used this little YG1 (6.7hp from disc valve 80cc wasn't bad for 72- enough to hoist the front wheel at 20mph! - this was the big brother to the original FS1E and the fore runner to the YB100)to get about on when I was a teenager - usually after I'd blown up another two stroke tuning effort.lol. I haven't lived in Newcastle now for nearly 20 years so thought I'd better dig this out from the back of the garage whilst I was up there getting the milling machine and lathe recently. Brings back memories, the motor has lots of compression so it may be up for a start very soon - just need to find the vertical front number plate to complete the look! I'm going to restore her properly next year

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
