One of the best ever Motorcycle made by Yamaha.

i also still using a MK1 model. daily i'm riding over 60KM for my works. and this one is my first japanese motor bike. loving it!

[@dirtbagd89]

That was brilliant. Good to see you giving the Yamaha an Italian tune up after a long winter in the garage. Those roads look great for a motorbike. The foot down cornering then accelerating away at about 4:30 was a highlight for me!

Hopefully picking one up this weekend 👍🏻

[@davidmacculloch825]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine 🙂👍

Looks like an 83 to me. My 1984 has 22 hp, redline at 9500 rpm, YPVS and 12V electric. Perhaps different markets had different models?

Wich exhaust do you have?

[@spudtrainspotting9149]

Nice video, I'm going to collect one of these. Is that Inverness?

[@davidmacculloch825]

Hi, yes, just outside of Inverness. I hope you enjoy your one.

Went to look at the dt125lc mk1 and found out that engine and frame numbers did not match, walked away from that one and ended up picking up a b plate 1985 mk2 instead, had my heart set on the mk1 though.

Damm she is beautiful I just got a dt175 with a new top and bottom end awesome bike, for a 17yo and does yvps feel like vtec kicking in?

[@davidmacculloch825]

Thanks for the comment, she's 1984, 37 year old, so before Yamaha invented YPVS, it has Reed valve which at about 6500 revs really boosts power in every gear. Its a real hoot to ride! I hope you enjoy your one.

[@johanrojas5702]
