I know it's off topic, and its the dreaded "y" word, but I aquired this bike awhile ago and am going to get it in the morning, can't find any info anywhere as to what exactly it is,Yamaha made 6/71 I think its 80cc,Story is, the guy I got it from's dad brought it back from japan when he was in the navy and it has sit ever since, I bought it awhile ago sight unseen except for pics, not rusty and it turns over, all original paint and seat, vin says g5-33###, looks cool though, any ideas anyone?

When, ina time long, long ago, I was real young and had my '69 Mini-Trail Z50, a couple brothers rode these. Not exactly like that one however frame and wheel sizes appear the same and they were Yamaha 80's. Early seventies type, two-stoke engines. Broke down all the time...
