You can see that this example isn’t perfect so it’s not a nut-and-bolt restored motorcycle, but it appears to be in really nice condition with no dents in the gas tank which is almost unheard of for a bike this old. The Yamaha CS3 200 came out in 1970 as basically an upgrade to the previous CS2 180 cc bikes. It had double the engine size of our 100 Twinjet and in a couple of years, my dad bought a beautiful 1970 Yamaha DS6 250 like this one, a bike that I’ve been looking for over the last several years. This would have been an incredible upgrade to the YL-1 that we had as kids. I still have that Yamaha Twinjet but it’s been sitting for over forty years now, it’s time to do something about that. Most of you have similar stories I’m positive. What I wouldn’t give to go back to those days now. My brother and I put hundreds of miles on that thing on our gravel road and on a trail that we carved through the two acres of woods behind our house, building a little wooden bridge over the stream and everything. I’m 6′-5″ tall but as a kid, my first one was a late-60s Yamaha YL-1 Twinjet 100 twin-cylinder street bike like this one. I’ve been riding for 50+ years now and I still love small bikes like this Yamaha, and this is a big one to me. This 1971 Yamaha CS3 200 is listed here on eBay in Rapid City, South Dakota (known by locals as “Rapid”, for some insider info) and the current bid price is $1,999 but the reserve isn’t met. Whether it was a Honda 50 or a mini bike with a pull starter, not many of us were riding huge motorcycles as our first two-wheelers.
Most of us started our lifelong love of motorcycles on a small CC bike.
