Yamaha V Series (V50, V75, V80, V90, Mate, Townmate)

Andrew has owned this Yamaha V50 for a decade. It's seen rides with the notorious Quake City Rumblers, lived on both of New Zealand's main Islands, and now it's got a 90cc engine whilst sounding as tough as can be.

I just got myself a V70 barn find, pretty much complete. I'm so glad to see that there is still a thing going on with these, im looking forward to breathing new life into this thing. Your vid gives me hope. 👍

The Yamaha Vs were extremely popular in Bermuda for decades. Even the "high and low" variations in the eighties. Lots of modding with files and ober sized piston rings, paint and drilling holes into the baffles for the perfect sound

I'd love to get my hands on one of these one day. I love 2 strokes. Especially a Town Mate with the shaft drive would be nice, but the US only had the U7E for a short time in the '70s.

That pipe is epic! Seriously, bring back the 2 strokes.
