Great looking bike , twin pod instrument console with analog tachometer. These retro bikes should back to market again. Thx

I rode one of these at a Yamaha "show and tell" day in the DC metro area back in the day. I was 15, and they let us take several motorcycles for a spin around the parking lot. I would love for one of the big four (or anyone!) to make a small 2-stroke for puttering around town. I know several make a wide range of 4-stroke mini-motos today (Grom, Monkey, CF Moto stuff), but I want a small 2-STROKE!! It looks like Kawasaki is bringing back some dirt bikes, but we want a dual sport!! It's not that hard!

Never knew there was a Yamaha 60cc street bike! My first bike was a 1972 CS5 200 Electric. It was purple and white. And to me it was painfully small! Can't imagine a 60cc, looks so tiny. I went from the 200 to a 750, which was quite a jump but at 16 years old, I handled it quite easily. My little brother had a Yamaha 80cc dirt bike, it had lights and turn signals so could go on the road but we never bothered to license it for the road, too small. Strange thing about his 80cc is sometimes it would start up backwards!! We'd just kill it and start it again until it ran forward.

@@markr.1984 I love those yamaha 200 electrics. Sharp looking bikes, yet to be able to purchase one yet. But always on my radar. This 60cc is tiny but fun for a pit bike to ride around at events. In town she's quite small lol

Likewise,never heard of an RD60 before.I think the RD 50 appeared in the UK in the very late 70's.BTW is that the gear lever rubber on the left hand mirror lol.Thanks for showing.

[@paulscountry456]

That might beat a Honda step thru 90 in a drag race ,cool bike it screams 70s.
