1972 Yamaha U7E
« on: September 12, 2013, 05:15:48 PM »
I picked this little bugger up today.  It is in real nice shape but was not running.  It would fire then die.  I got that sorted out and took it for a ride.  It now runs good and all 3 gears work fine.  All electrical seems to me in order except on loose ground that I will fix this weekend.

Its a 75 cc 3 speed semi automatic scooter.  It has the factory tool kit and a title form 1978.  It was a 2 owner bike.

I am thinking about donating it to charity in the spring.

Let us know the top speed on that sometime, with a 75cc it seems like 40mph or so may be possible. Like the color and the condition sure is nice.

Top speed per Yamaha is 54mPH. My gues is that would be with a 65 Japanese rider on it.  With my fat ass I expect about 30 MPH.
