Cody Hassell Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I have decided to build my own bike with parts I can get cheap, first thing I need to do if figure out what this engine is, I have kinda pegged it as an R1 but can't figure out what year it is. It has 348cc molded into it and the engine ID# is R1-09409. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go, i'm not saying your motor is 1967 but this link will take you to a picture of one, a 1967 (Y)R1 350 Yamaha R1 350 I'd be looking at what its worth first. Even wrecked i bet it would pay for a far better motor to build a bike round. It will cost a packet to do up as well, everything will be expensive. Crikey DT175 parts are getting tricky to drag up and they are like belly button fluff compared to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
