My 1st bike. Same color. Nice to see a survivor.

I bought this bike about 7 years ago from you guys. I still have it and I’ll never get rid of it! 💙

I have one of these, and it's fantastic. I love my 120. Every time I get on it, I can't believe how strong it is, especially in the mid-range. I'm told that back in the day, kids with 120s would eat the competition alive in flat-track.

My dad had one of these when I was a kid. It had two rear sprockets so you could change to a set of lower gear ratios for off-road use. I don't know whether this was an option, or was standard on all SS120s of that vintage.

The engine had a rotary valve on the intake to improve breathing. Eventually Yamaha surpassed this design with reed valves.

I'm looking for the optional luggage rack with those distinctive flat strip rails for my 1969 model restoration.

HELP! Have one in my shop right now. It's the exact same bike/color as the one in the video, and in decent cosmetic condition. Bought it as-is as a non-runner. I've had it for almost 10 years, and just now got around to restoring it (retired now). Anyway, when I removed the left side cover, I was horrified to discover the flywheel is missing! Not good...to say the least. I know this is a long shot, but would anyone happen to have a lead on where I could source one? Thanks!
