F5B or FS1

[JimR]

The Yamaha FS1 or F5B is a cool bike to own
it's so small it's difficult to drop and can be tuned to more than it's 40mph out of the box speed has any one got one ?

The FS1 from my understanding is Yamahas newer version of the YG1 correct? Ive got a '66 YG1 and that little sucker is quick for the tiny thing it is! What a great bike. By the way Jim, nice looking restoration job you've done there. I'll post some pics of mine here soon!
