    69 Yamaha AT-1 Restore it?

    Something is pushing to bring this one back, has a key, no title, turns over

      Seems simple enough, why not? Looks like it needs some fork tubes, seat cover, and some paint and polishing along with the other usual stuff. Hows the gas tank?

                  great bike that looks like it needs some good love to bring it back to life.

                              Oops, didn't catch that... worth pursuing though if possible in your neck of the woods.

                                  Dual Purpose (on-off/enduro/street-trail) bikes are GREAT.

                                  But the last time I had one, unregistered, it cost me a $300 fine and much embarrassment.

                                  I still like pure dirt bikes, but they do me little good unless I can use the roads around here to get to the trail...

                                  So a titled street trail would be better for me.

                                  maybe for you it wouldn't matter!!??

                                              The MX version of that was the first real motorcycle I ever rode. When I accidentally got it on the pipe and took off on one wheel I was hooked.

                                              I say do it.

                                                  Well, it looks nice and complete


                                                  Is it missing the tail light?

                                                  Does the tank have a big dent in it?

                                                  It's waay too nice to be the one my friend Sam rode back in 1970, when I lived in Houston
