1971 Yamaha CT1

[@kyleirving7747]

Just picked one up identical to this in Wisconsin. 4595 miles, a true survivor.

[@user-pz4bt5bc3d]

I'm getting a 1971 125 in perfect condition with brand new red paint for 1400 in Colorado, so exited to ride this thing

[@dannywilliams3928]

What a beautiful little Yamaha Ken. Looks as if you climbed aboard a time machine went back to 1971 grab that Yamaha and brought it back to the present never seen a 1971 look so clean. Also enjoyed the ride around you have a very nice little town there Ken. Beautiful buildings. Take care Ken.

[@budwengler6730]

I'm calling you. Love that bike

[@jaysongraft3627]

I swear my uncle had a bike like that. We loved riding it and nicknamed it the nightmare.

[@frankderryberry1412]

Great bike...got to rent one for a whole day in Panama City, Florida. Played in vacant lots and got sunburned. Perfect for street or trail.

[@robertdominguez2466]

I have never seen one with a buddy seat.im 51 and motorcycle crazy. Very cool man.

[@davidmuse1351]

That bike is beautiful. Also, what a nice day it is there!

[@markbrynteson5141]

[@jhongrussing6577]

U guys are on to something big👍 Old street bikes in nice shape. I'm on board...just purchased a mint 82 nighthawk 650 and going to look at Suzuki gs850 this weekend.

[@lexomotorsports]

Right on I just bought 1 last week

[@thomasray1899]

I've driven all models 90 thru 360 the ct1 175 is the most fun to ride.

[@jfddelaney]

Yup, own the original one, the 1969 CT1. Great fun.

[@waltwynn-sandiegonorthcoun8475]

My friend had one in Upstate New York...

[@whoyathink6046]

That was my first brand new bike I bought..wish I still had it! 😢

[@daleredding7520]

I have a 1969 Yamaha ct1 175 and I am trying to find a few replacement parts. I have almost all of the original parts but given how long it has been stored I may have to replace some parts. I have owned this bike since I was 19 and I am now 70 .It was red when I bpught it and I would like to get it put back together and rideable. It was one of the very best trail bikes I have owned and would like to get it going. Any help you might be able to give me in finding the right parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@johnwilcox4078]

One of my favorite bikes in the stable, mine is a '72 CT175, same color, not near as mint but just as much fun! One thing that's tough about owning one of these is that certain parts availability is impossible. Try finding a stock 6 volt headlight that fits, I need one to ride legally here in Wisconsin. The clutches on these bikes are on the weak side and you can't buy new plates, i had to settle for some good used ones from a 125 parts bike i had. The metal rear fender has very recently cracked in half, they are made of unobtainium! It's the hardest bike i have for parts. I wish it was like British bikes with it's well developed reproduction parts industry. I guess i just haven't found the right source yet, but im willing to pay $$$'s for the right stuff!

[@jameshatfield6814]

Do All those old Yamahas sound like they have piston slap?

[@56Spookdog]

What’s the sodium bicarbonate solution and does it take care of rust?

[@jamesmothersbaugh357]

Better to use straight vinegar from the grocery. Yes, it dissolves rust.

[@markbrynteson5141]

I got a 69 and it has cables that run to the shifter to the frame and one from the rear brake lever to the frame. Weird

[@thepyrodude]

I had a red 1972 ct1

[@jimdunlap2649]

I had that bike same year and color

[@jimdunlap2649]

Paid 999 dollars

[@gosubtolicketysplit0042]

I have a 1971 that doesn’t run it’s been sitting for a long time any tips on how to get it running

[@MurphyAM]

just got one that has been sitting for likely over a decade. Pressure washed the whole bike, cleaned the carb, installed a fuel filter, and it fired right up.

[@jhongrussing6577]

I put aftermarket exhaust on 82 honda nighthawk 650. Can u please tell me what jet kit I need.. Exhaust is voodoo turn outs with all rest factory

[@edgardgonzalez3447]

Amigo tengo una moto de esas y estoy buscando los discos de embrague, sabes de alguna tienda en EEUU dónde los pueda comprar ?? Gracias

[@jamesmothersbaugh357]

Se vende a Yamaha. Muchos Se usan en "Los Quads."

[@budwengler6730]

Love to have that

[@yashpalchudasama501]

Hi...how much does it cost

[@arroyogold]

i was given abandoned ct1 1969 175cc with no title how can i get the title for is bike it's been in my factory where i work about 7 years dying to ride

[@stephenbatdorf8928]

So Nice 💯✅😎

[@neilbillybob3065]

The colour of this was the same as the YAMAHA FS1E 50 cc.. mid 70s they loved them here in the uk. see as Honda c70s and 90s the biggest selling semi auto bike of all time world wide, four stroke very reliable also called the honda cub. I had a C70 first kick start up. check out the new Honda cubs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmGXY2uVZpp8qpo

[@60EFFIE]

10,500-8500, really? And I thought only 2 strokes and diesels blew smoke!

[@markbrynteson5141]

Mine has 3796 miles

[@markbrynteson5141]

Mines in good shape but no where near as clean as that one

[@oldengdg2575]

10 grand for a dirt bike ? Last dirt bike I bought was .. $100. Your making some profit. $2500 to rebuild a CARB ? + seals ... Jesus. No thanks. Keep it. The one I had was UN-reliable. Within 2 weeks 2nd gear broke. Had it fixed. $200 in 1971 dollars for a $500 bike. 2 weeks later... 2nd gear BROKE again. 1969, a very reliable year. The thing would not stay together. Yea I can believe it will just sit somewhere.

[@LifeWideOpen780]

Come on ken yamaha cant match hondas reliability or beauty. Plain fact theres more vintage hondas alive today than any other mark

[@garettanderson6772]

Did Honda even have a two stroke enduro in 1971?

[@jamesmothersbaugh357]

@@garettanderson6772 The Elsinore I think it was called.

[@garettanderson6772]

Yeah but I don't think those came out for a couple more years. Pretty sure it was all four-stroke in 1971 for Honda. I could be wrong though so don't quote me on that.
