1976 Yamaha FS1-E DX

Highlights

  • A classic 1976 Yamaha FS1E DX motorcycle
  • Only covered 16,674 miles
  • 49cc engine with manual transmission
  • Part of a private collection for eleven years


The Appeal


Practically synonymous with the 70s, The FS1-E was Yamaha's legendary FS1 with the English suffix - slightly more standardised and arguably more practical, these colloquially-named 'Fizzys' were a huge hit - and Yamaha introduced various improvements such as a front disc brake (FS1-E DX model) over the years. 

This bike is exactly one of those, was part of a private collection for eleven years and is in restored condition, having been kept in a heated environment and used very sparingly. 

The bike's 49cc matching numbers engine and manual transmission still offer fun, nimble performance on the road - and is bound to impress any enthusiast.
