1972 Yamaha YDS7 250 Twin (#2)

In June of 75, this bike replaced the CB450 after my wife quit riding. I found it in LA, it only had 400 miles on it and  for $400, what a deal! I mostly rode this bike back and forth to work, but I did manage to pile up close to 5,100 miles on it the short 6 months I owned it. We received orders for Germany in August and we decided it would be better sold than put in storage. So, in December of 1975, I sold it and went bikeless for over three years. Here I was in Germany, with no motorcycle!

WHAT A BUMMER!
