Oh those vmax’s were pretty cool too. Yamaha was only manufacturer that could make a reliable tripple cylinder two stroke too. I'm gunna place the start to their hayday a bit further back. Mid/late 70's with the Enticers and the Exciters were a big deal as well. That was also the start for Yamalube at that time. (big sales point I'd say!) I remember drooling over the SS440 when that came out! It looked sharp in silver / blue (1982 or there aboots) Was skeptic aboot the telescopic struts up front that came out aboot then. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 IDK how the Yammi worked, and I don't recall how the Doo worked, but I also don't recall any issues with it? Not like a Pontiac Fiero (wedge) Those routinely had one headlight up and one down. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
