Yamaha were always fierce competitors in the small capacity bike market, introducing the U2 75cc two-stroke to compete head on with Honda's C50/90 range in the early 1960s.
At the time of cataloguing the vendor of this machine could not find its V5, however it is recognised by the DVLA. Prospective bidders should note that although declared manufactured in 1965, its date of first registration is shown as 31st January 1980 and so the number plate may not be transferable. It is offered here for restoration at no reserve.
