Title: YZB Colours
Post by: Rossvickicampbell on December 14, 2011, 06:12:44 pm: Gents - I am seeing two different "non US" colour schemes for the YZB white bikes? Was the European scheme the same as Australian or were there, in fact, 2 white schemes?

Post by: Rossvickicampbell on December 14, 2011, 08:43:06 pm: DC - I thought that also - I can't load pictures yet coz Village photos has gone belly up and can't access photobucket from here but have seen two different "white" versions - one with a black Yamaha written above the red stripe and another with a white Yamaha written "inside" the red stripe.

Post by: JohnnyO on December 14, 2011, 08:52:59 pm: The correct one has yamaha written in black above the red stripe... the one with the white writing in the decal is for the Canadian C models.

We're talking about the 250/400C, they were yellow in Aust. ('76 model)
All the 125C's were white in Aust. ('75 model)

I raced and owned a YZ250B back in the 70's and to the best of my recollection it was the same as the bottom picture, white with the tank strap. Great bike, sold it to a mate for $250.00. DOH!!!!
