What is this?

[oldyammerhammer]

I have recently came across a Yamaha three wheeler, from the pictures on here, it looks on like a tri moto with the banana colored, vented, front fender. This thing has the most amazing gear ratio I have ever seen. A huge rear sprocket with a small front drive with the chain maybe a foot long. It has the gas tank mounted inside the frame. Only I can't tell what cc it is. The serial numbers are still somewhat readable but google didn't produce any results. It is a two stroke. With a separate oil tank on it's side. Does anyone know how to tell the size of the trike, maybe where engine numbers would be located if it has em.

It's either a 125 or 175 .

Doesn't say it on the fender? Here are a few 175 pic's......... (poor thing )

just so u know the 125/175 are almost identical except teh 175 has front suspension and 50 cc's more then the 125

The carb on the 125 is a Mikuni VM20, on the 175 it is a VM24, so if you can find that out (carb may have it stamped on?) you'll know for sure.

That's about all I can tell you. The tires are the same size on both models but most likely the graphics will surely be different, YEA, by the graphics too you could tell!

OH, that's a dead give away then, I forgot about that.

whos 175 is that?

[oldyammerhammer]

Thanks ya'll. From the looks of it I have the 125. I have solid forks and the 20 mm carb. I have one more question. What would this trike run at auction? It doesn't have the rear fenders, and the carb body needs to be replaced. The motor has good compression, and is fairly clean. I would really love to restore this bad boy, but my time and space are stretched.

not much ...like 100 max

[oldyammerhammer]

Cool I'll see what I can get. Thanks again..

if u need help im almost done restoring mine

whos 175 is that?

That's mine that I never, ever should of bought. One of those stupid mistakes you make in life, ya know. I had it for a few years now.

I didn't pay a whole lot for it, like 93 bucks or so,ething but still, it's a POS for sure.

Oe of those deals where it looked MUCH better in the pictures.

I'm GIVING the thing away to Brapp. Be a great parts trike I guess. Motor is semi siezed.
