That's what Yamaha thought the "ultimate" BMX bike should look like in the mid-70's. I was a kid back then, and LUSTED after one. Unfortunately, the thing cost almost as much as a "real" motorcycle back then. They were also prone to cracks in the frames when they were used for serious Evel Knievel imitations. Within a few years, this style of bike was dropped in favor of lightweight frames and alloy parts. Yamaha only built these from 74-76.GodHatesCleveland said:That's already got a freakish mix of styles-the chopper fork, the off-road knobby tires, a banana seat, humpback frame and what almost looks like a built-in book rack below the seat, and a full suspension.....who's got the popcorn??? This is gonna be good!
The paint's got a lot of little nicks and scratches that don't show in those pic's, but yeah, it does look pretty darn good for a 32-year-old bike. Here's a couple more:fast eddie said:good work! looks brand new!

Thought I'd throw out a line and see if I get any nibbles. These things sometimes bring a ton-o-cash on Ebay. The one that showed up on our classifieds here @ $950 got me the starting point. Figuring how most of the time the craigslist offers are rediculously low, I figured I'd start rediculously high and come down from there. Gotta remember, these things sold for something like $400-$500 way back in 1976!
