They were made illegal from Jan 1st 1973 Had one of those as my first bike, a 1973 model that I seemingly tried hard to destroy in the year I owned it. This is what it looks like now following a 100% restoration by my lil sister and her eldest son: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3326126225_39e6a3e9dd_o.jpg There's a big mistake apparent in that photo that has now been sorted, can anyone guess what it is? > Or if mopeds don't count, > http://www.motorcycle-specs.com/general/Yamaha-RD200-1976.jpg > (silver) Had one of those too, it also started life silver but got resprayed by me.

That's immaculate! (And the bike's in good nick too.) It took them 2 years and was meant to be used by the nephew, but he looked at it one day and decided it was too nice for a 16 year old to wreck, so bought a TS50ER. Every day at 9-30am a young lad rides past our shop on a mint condition 1977 R regd yellow FS1E DX with L plates, and every day he rides home at about 5-30am. It's lovely to see one being used as it should be by someone of totally the wrong age to remember them the first time round. The bike is from his father's era, or maybe even his grandad's. I'm waiting for him to progress to an RS100 or possibly an RD125 twin. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere)
