I don't know if it was a "Bonanza" or not, Yamaha, definitely 180cc, a two stroke. I remember buying it used for $157 I earned bussing tables at my uncles restaurant. Had to throw in the extra $7 for a new battery.

Mom didn't like it one bit.

Thank you,
MrSmith

2-stroke twin, Looks like a 1967 or maybe 1968 Yamaha ? maybe 200cc or 350cc . Could be a CS or YM or YD ? cant remember there were a few different models . It not a RD but it was predecessor to the Yamaha RD's 2-stroke twins in the 70's . We used to build those little 350 RD twins over, bored out and pistons, they ran like a Raped Ape on the street.

Took my AT from eastern WA lo Las Vegas with friends on Harleys.

They laughed until I left them in the dust on all the straightaways and their tough guy bikes (both bikes) broke and one had parts fall off.

Given the tremendous outpouring of love that everyone has for HD lately I wanted to share these pics of the completed scooter.
Had the rims powder coated along with a few other pieces, new skins, a full inspection and we're back in business. Probably get the belt guard done also. I always thought this bike had waaayy too much chrome/silver on it so I tried to balance it out some and stay distinctive. Purchased NIB in October of 2003. 5668 original miles. Ride safe members!
 
So... oil is big in you AO?
It's corn around here..
Corn won’t even grow here. Yes, oil is big, but the oil fields are far away. The Alaska Pipeline is 800 miles long. We’re about in the middle. Here’s one of the rivers I mentioned that aren’t bridged. You have to go back to the last access road, ride out to the highway to cross, then find the next access road to get back to the pipeline.
