1976 Yamaha FS1-E

Highlights

  • An utterly pristine example with just 53 miles on the odometer
  • UK market example with bicycle pedals and an mph speedometer
  • Supplied before British FS1-Es were speed-restricted to 31 mph (in August 1977)
  • Road-registered and V5C present
  • Exempt from road tax and MOT testing

The Appeal

For many bikers, the Yamaha FS1-E, or “Fizzie” was their first taste of two-wheeled freedom. It was a great product too, leaving a memorable first impression on first-time riders which has fostered a strong collector market for well-preserved FS1-Es. Whether you’re a seasoned biker looking to revisit your youth, or else a new rider looking for a retro sled to get you started, there’s a lot to love about a “Fizzie”.
Collectors seek UK-supplied, well-preserved examples and preferably those with few miles on the clock. We’re delighted to offer an FS1-E that ticks all the right boxes. Presented in pristine condition and displaying just 53 miles on the odometer, this Yamaha is a superb specimen. Still fitted with its  UK legislation bicycle pedals and imported before all British examples were speed-limited to 31 mph, this is the one to buy.
