  1. OK,Thanks for that tony.. Learnt something new (again) what an ugly beast though, it looks ancient even against my 1974 gt185. May turn it into a doner as an rd frame is going local to me,to much bad chrome on this one to pour money on it me thinks..once again thanks very much for useful info..

    Hello to anyone checking this question out. I am a confirmed coffin dodger still mucking about with 2 strokes. (cant be bothered with valves and chains etc) but I have always had #uzu#is up to now,apart from when I was a youngster. Anyway my son has a rd 125 lc which I put him onto so now he has the 2 stroke illness,and a few days ago he kindly filled my empty shed with a yamaha which he came across on a rundown farm building. The engine size is stated as 195cc and it has a drum front brake,its a big old beast for the engine size and its a new one on me.Have no v5 yet just a key engine no say's #3L2-000472# Cant read frame no at minute.It also has a single carb although its a 2 stroke twin,its in pretty poor nick so need to find out if its worth the winter resto or not? It also has what look like usd forks,I am wondering if its an import as its on a x reg 1981/82 . I would be extremely gratefull if anyone can point me in the right direction with this bike,and would anyone know where to check the registration Number for info.. i.e internet site.. Many thanks and a smokey new year to all oil burners.
