This is the CT3 that I turned into a trials bike. Felt a bit bad about cutting it up as I had one when I first got my licence but this had been sitting outside for so long the left hand handlebar had rusted through. All the chrome was gone so it would have been a costly job to restore it, although I'll probably regret it one day.
My first bike I ever owned that went....CT2....use to kick back and smash the idler gear all the time....also got my first speeding ticket on it.
Yeah Davey, I worked at a Yamaha shop after school and spent half my time assembling new CT2's (they sold like hot cakes) and the other half of the time replacing the kickstarter shafts, crankcase halves and clutch covers. Great bike though, as that was pretty much all that went wrong with them.
