1968 Yamaha YCS-1

In Japan, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

Also known as the Bonanza, the Yamaha YCS-1 was a lovely small-displacement 2-stroker that was also available in a scrambler variant.

The 180cc twin utilized cast iron cylinders and carbs between 18-22mm. Sharing plenty of parts with the CS2, these bikes were often the first motorcycles for many a current rider. This example has a custom seat (the original seat is included but needs to be re-upholstered) and is claimed to run great thanks to a recent carb clean and some new parts. The bike has 11,918 miles and the seller it has no major cosmetic flaws. The sale will include the original owners manual, a kickstart lever, horn, and the factory service manual.
