New toy... (lots of pics of it)

Post by se50 »

Here's my new bike. '84 Yamaha IT200 2 stroke. Basically a YZ125 engine from the '80s with a 200 bore and 6sp tranny. Great suspension. DG pipe. I think it makes near 30 horsepower. :lol: 210lb dry. Fast and light! Runs great. I got it for $700. What do you think of it? (also, last 2 pics are before I got the rust off of the pipe) Check out the boost bottle. :lol:

I know I'm jealous. How do you like your Bayou? Was thinking about one for hunting.

The Bayou's alright. You can see part of it in the pics. I broke a spindle when I was riding it really hard, and that was scary (tire came flying off). But, I really should have been on a bike. Too much for that little thing. It's rough; no suspension in back. But, runs like a champ, starts great, 1 gear is LOW!
