Them crazy japs raced everything , I found a pic of a HT1 (a pre AG100 of 90cc, early 70's) full fairing race bike . Ive got one that may end up a bucket , It handles so bad its been on the back burner for a while tho

I have a YG-1 (1963) which is complete and runs. I'm restoring it back to not quite original. I have some YL-1 parts I've put on it (forks, shocks, muffler) to make it more sporty. Also going to put some flat bars and make some alloy rear sets and may even make a small perspex flyscreen like what was put on the Honda CB-92.
Make it all period though.

You see, I have this challenge to race it against some AC-50 Maverick.... ;)

Maybe I will drag the HT1 out from behind the shed and sus it as a post classic bucket, or carry on with my RX125 instead, and my LC race bike, to many toys lol, an a house that NEEDS work

My first brand new bike was a YL-1 - cost 98pound 10 shillings. Was a great little bike - I'd like to find another one......
