Dont think thats a Yamaha Pearl.

50K FOR THAT !!!! Man some people are well.....overly optimistic.

hillram · 11th November 2008, 12:01

I followed the same ad and negotiated.The offer stands at 10k now and i need tech specs and some better bigger pics friends...i guess 10K is a good offer.

Are you sure its a Yamaha Pearl?

HillRam: I hope this link helps you
www.classicyams.com - Yamaha YG1 80 cc

If it does then google for yamaha YG1

and then you will find among the results this
YG1 Engine Repair and Assembly Photo Gallery by jetdoctor at pbase.com

If all that has helped then I get to ride it once you get it.

Ram, whatever said and done the price seems too good to miss. I should be talking to you and involving you in my buying process from hereon, for sure. It's a stupendous price. I was offered a similar model bike by a guy working in Castrol bike zone near my house for 40k and it was nowhere near this condition. I was nearly tempted to bargain it down to 25k but let it go because of the condition it was in.

99% chances that this is one of the ICRISAT imports! I have wonderful memories of this bike!

GRAB it!! I can even dig out the names of ex-ICRISAT mechanics - the very same people who used to maintain these bikes!!

hillram · 11th November 2008, 13:53

KB100..Thanks for the Info.
What is the official name of this bike..im unable to get a correct match of this bike on the net..

hillram · 11th November 2008, 21:50

KB100...I have purchased the Yamaha 80 this evening and true to ur words its an ICRISAT imporated bike..I have the letters from ICRISAT too.
Now i need your help to dig those ex-ICRISAT mechanics to get this beauty serviced.

Wasn't there a Pearl Yamha that looked like an Bajaj M80.

hillram · 11th November 2008, 22:00

I could only see the tyres were looking like Bajaj M80,but rest all are different.This bike is much meaner and faster.
