Vintage 50cc Shaft Drive

I reacquired a little Yamaha moped I got to restore some time back.. I know it's not a MB so save it. It's unique and cute. And my Point Beach will blow the paint off of it. MFG 8/78 I have all the parts too

Cute, Tramp...Now what are ya gonna do with it? Restore and sell as a classic? a 31 year old machine would have to be worth sumpin'.

Going to restore the little thing, Shouldn't take over a year or so, depending on parts. I might just put it in the show room to attract lookers. As far as worth some collector might want it. I don't care for Yamaha much, a three cyl, yama tried to kill me years ago. Tranny locked up.

I had a 3 cylinder Yammy! Shaft drive too.

It's not shaft drive, but I just got my hands on a couple of Honda scooters to restore.

I almost bought one of those little Yammy's last summer at an auction, but it went over 300, and it didn't even run, so it's likely worth restoring.

It's almost like I opened a Cracker Jack's box , and that fell out

Was it a XS750? Had one back in the 80's, crank locked up.

It was the 850 Yamaha. Rode sweet, but not made very well.
