I always thought the standard YZ forks were shit, I can still remember riding in ruts with the bars against my leg and still going straight the flex was so great.

This bike worried me also   I believe it is a 75 motor due to the cylinder head,clutch actuator,mag cover and no #s on cases ,looks as if it is a 75 tank ( large tunnel area) and also 75 MX rims as they had the lip on them by tire. The frame #s are 432-0006  as told to a friend of mine    Non YZ forks (Honda) and who knows what else   The owner didn't seem to be interested in giving many details either   Sounds fishy  still a decent price if it doesn't need anything   He sold it also  !   Tom

Wrong colour also isn't it? Did the A ever come out in the Yamaha USA racing Yellow?

When all said and done (im not supporting his misrepresentation ) but i think its a lot of bike for the money . Look past what its supposed to be and its still a nice competitive pre 75 open bike at a reasonable price.

Its a pity hes advertised it as a true 360A as its a fuse for the worlds anoraks to rip it to bits  ::) Its disappointing that he wont answer questions  though as that adds fuel to the fire .

I cant see much of a problem though , the price reflects what it is a very nice pre 75 open Yamaha hybrid  :)
