Thread: ID this bike!

I know it's off topic, and its the dreaded "y" word, but I aquired this bike awhile ago and am going to get it in the morning, can't find any info anywhere as to what exactly it is,Yamaha made 6/71 I think its 80cc,Story is, the guy I got it from's dad brought it back from japan when he was in the navy and it has sit ever since, I bought it awhile ago sight unseen except for pics, not rusty and it turns over, all original paint and seat, vin says g5-33###, looks cool though, any ideas anyone?

it looks like a cl70 scrambler by honda. I really like your bike.

I have been searching for a week for info on the net,Finally found another pic on the web,he was searching also,says its a '71 Yamaha 80cc G5, his is red and white, looks to be the predecessor to the RD60,Real sporty dont you think

not bad gotta love the older European bikes those damn things are bulletproof and reliable anywhere. i had a batavus a while back similar to what you have there.

When, ina time long, long ago, I was real young and had my '69 Mini-Trail Z50, a couple brothers rode these. Not exactly like that one however frame and wheel sizes appear the same and they were Yamaha 80's. Early seventies type, two-stoke engines. Broke down all the time...
