64' Yamaha YA6 info needed

[angus]

Hello, All.
I haven't been here in a bit, things came up...
I still have my Hondas the CT70 HKO,and a CB100. But they have been sitting on the back burner for a bit.
What brings me back here is, that I have come across a 1964 Yamaha YA6. It is a 125cc two stroke. It looks like a Honda Dream. That's what made me look at it in the first place.
The problem is that I can not find a forum as the lil honda site for any information... or any good folks like here with any info. Do you guys know of any forums that deal with Little Yamahas?.
I'll see if I can figure out how to upload some pics of this thing. You'll see why I picked it up. I dig the old pin stripping on the original paint and the Blk Ca. plate. Yes, it is missing a few parts. I'm watching some on Ebay. But, don't want to buy any thing until I figure out what I want to do with it(sell or build).
Oh, I bought a 71 VW Westy, that's what took over my time.. Well, if anyone has any info or can send me in the right direction on this bike, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Angus

View attachment 54332 View attachment 54331 View attachment 54331 I've had 3 of them, but sold a couple last year, after finding a nice one with only a 1k miles on it. I've been showing it this past summer at numerous shows. It got first place at Motorado in Santa Fe this month. Looks like you found a solid bike to restore, but you'll need to be cautious on how much you spend, because there really isn't any demand or interest in that model. It's noted for being the first Yamaha with "Autolube" oil injection. They are nice commuter bikes and will run nice and smooth when in good tune. Here's a pic of my '64 YA-6View attachment 54331

Hello, Very nicely done bike you have, my friend.
Do you need another?. It's a good starter..
A spit and polish retro, project.. Just add a few parts.
It will clean up, " just fine".
