Very nice lineup. I'm partial towards these A model YZ's as well. Tell us some more about that push bike with the front and rear shockies!

the pushie is what i believe to be a yamaha "moto bike" and i believe was only avaiable from a yamaha dealership.
i remember when they first came out, seeing one down the bike shop, then a kid at school had one but it was pretty heavy compared to our stripped down dragsters.
avaiable in yellow or yellow as well.

Yep Yamaha Moto Bike. My brother and I got one each for Christmas back in the days when you didn't have to lock your doors and kids were safe to stay out and play till the street lights came on.

Both bikes were stolen from our home a couple of months later  :( 

Probably right about them only being available through dealers. From memory Dad got ours from Spooners @ Brookvale.

Adam's Moto Bike looks pretty original even down to the tyres.

Cheers

they even came i an A or B model, basically single seat or later the banana seat.   they were expensive even back then, but they were marketing the yamah range.  Still a good market for them, and parts still around :O)

Yes this is A yamaha MOTO-BIKE.
This is the A model with the single seat and chrome bars.
The B model has a banna seat and comes in yellow or orange with black bars and the c model is yellow or orange and have fenders etc.

There is also a green Euro model in the 1976 model range.

They are cool and make a good bike to cruise to the lunch shop on whilst at work.

Oh the other bikes are a YZ80A YZ125A YZ250A AND YZ360A.

THESE ARE MY NONE RESTORED EXAMPLES. I DO HAVE RESTORED EXAMPLES TOO.

This bike is of course, the ex-Barry Senn (NZ) RH250. 

A very rare and very interesting bike.   It even has a splined shaft exiting the RHS cases for RHS gear shifting if the Euro riders wanted it that way. :o

Naturally, it will be on display at CD5.... ;)
