When I was a sophomore in high school, (1963), my Dad and I bought a new YG1. It was black and chrome. The one I owned had to have the gas and oil mixed before putting into the gas tank. If I remember correctly, there weren't many of those sold before the oil injection was used. I had many good times on that bike. Thanks for the video.

@tyrenik Thanks for the comment. I use the oil injection that this bike has but it leaks oil from under the engine so I have some stuff to sort through.

yip, nice! rare aswell!, I've got one of these but bits and pieces are missing including engine parts so I've decided to put a 110 pitbike engine into mine and turn it into a cafe racer, they're mint little bikes, keep it original!

a 110 pit bike engine? You HAVE to show me when you have to keep me updated! Sadly mine is not running once again and its so hard to find parts. Thanks for the comment.
