this is a 1980 yamaha bop (BO) Cash or trade only

this bike is old. picked it up of my old boss who brought it back from germany when he came here. i had the bike running last year but have not tried to start it since have not had time to do anything with it was going to restore it but work holds me back from doing small projects. lights work on it, goes about 80 km dip on weight. come check this little thing out. its located in gads hill ontario. with is about 5 mins out of stratford. (Best offer) cash or trade only)
thoughts? i think it's interesting cause it's a import from Germany. i looked it up and my understanding is that it's available in 50cc or 80cc. anyone has more info on it? i replyed and asked if it got a ownership and if it needs any repairs done to it, waiting for a reply back.

Edit: i just done looking up some stuff and found that the plate in the second pic is a Insurance plate from Germany:

The license plate is a general license plate for 50cc mopeds, scooters etc. that you can get from any insurance company over here.
The 50cc bikes with a top speed of 25 or 40/50 km/h donīt need to be registered at the DOT and are displacement tax free, so you get the plate directly from the insurance company.
I think the bike is a 50cc manual 3 speed from the late 70s or early 80s, model code might be LB 3-M. You might get some more information at CMSNL.com
