once it gets finally narrowed down i hope to either buy a restored one or get one and restore it....something i feel i need to do.

joined a couple of days ago, looks like a fantastic forum. I have posted a topic in the classic section titled desperatly need help,,,,, I am looking for info regarding a 1967 yamaha that my brother died on. The responses I have received so far have kind of narrowed it down a bit, hopefully soon I will have the answer from the Yamaha experts in this forum community .thanks scott

Thanks for all the help so far, I was able to get a little bit more information, My brother said he remembers that it was the 250cc bike that was what was in the accident and the color was red. I dod not know if this information will help. I am relying on you yamaha experts out there to help this mystery for me. Thanks again Scott

i could not tell you what it looked like as i was only 2 years old then, my family has no pictures of bikes and the only info i could get is what i gave above. thanks

Hi, I had a brother who died on a yamaha motorcycle in 1967 due to a car pulling out in front of him. I was only 2 years old when this happened. Through talking with my older brother the only information he could give me was that he had two yamahas a 80 cc and a 250cc scrambler is what he remembers, I was able to locate the accident report through my mom and on that document it said bike was a 1967 yamaha but did not list the cc's or model. It gave a serial # of u26-690, I do not know if that was a number off the bike or the license number. That number appeared on two different documents listing it as the serial number. I have tried searching that number and I can not find any info. If any of you could provide me with any information regarding what this bike was as far as cc's , model, colors it may have come in . I would like to try and find one of these either restored or a decent project to work on. you may send any info or pictures t o##### thanks
