1962 MF-1 50

This was the first 50cc step-thru Yamaha brought to the U.S. The styling was funky, even back in '62!

1962 Omaha Trail 50

MF-2

This model was the transition between the funky MF-1 and the mid-Sixties Newport 50, which looked much the same, but it had the benefits of oil injection.

MF-2 Spec Page

MJ2 55cc

Very similar to the 50cc MF-2 and strangely enough, offered at the same time.

1963 YG-1

Yamaha's first successful small bike in the U.S.

1964 Trailmaster 80

The trail model of the YG-1 was quite a success on the racetrack.

1962 YA-5

Notice the groovy red seat and tiny speedo windshield on Yamaha's first 125 brought to the U.S.

1963 YA-5

This model was sandwiched between the slightly strange-looking original YA-5 and the later Santa Barbara.

1963 YD3

This rare model was the basic road 250 in the early days. Strangely enough, I think this is the only 250cc Yamaha I have ever ridden!

1962 YDS-2

The first model year of the legendary 250 Sport.

1963 YDS-2

The last year before Autolube changed everything.
