I have a 1960's yamaha 80cc bike, is red in color and has upswept pipe on right side. Fork tube covers are retangular in shape which I can find any pictures of bikes with these. Tank has round yamaha emblems, also throttle cable runs thru handlebars. I think its a 1965 YG1. Any help with what this bike is would be great. Thanks Ray

Ray. Other folks may know by the description, but do you have any pics of her you can post?

Welcome Ray, as SACHA says photos do more than anything to help identify it,& PLEASE do an INTRO (new member section) as it's polite to say Hi, no real problem but it's nice to know who your talking to!

I'd say the exhaust looks more like the YJ2. ??
