Some older Yamaha pictures

Here's a bike I found in a garage at a client's house. I hung some curtains for it. I bought it to teach my girlfriend to ride. It had 5k original miles and had been stored in the garage since 1983. Rebuilt the carb, new tires and tune up and she runs like a champ. It's a 1980 Yamaha Exciter 250. I litterly got it from a little old lady. She was the original owner. Tina learned to ride and I sold it to a 73 year old man that rides the hell out of it now. I see it on the road all the time. Fealt good to bring the ole girl back to life.

Yea I know i've just never pulled it out to do it. Just don't have much intrest in it since it's been beat to hell. I more interested in the 350x next to it:riding:
but i guess that's just cause I'm into the off road stuff. Is it worth anything?

Hi Tyler
I guess it's a CS3E and not an RD200
RD200A

CS3E
[Only registered can see links. ]

But I guess there was very little difference between the 2 with the exception of the RD version being a bit more reliable and the CS3 having a bit more acceleration & top end

Hmm just wondering

if the Red zone on the speedo is the operating zone any less than that you could walk quicker
