1970 For Sale

Yamaha laid the foundation for this success in the course of the 60s with the continuous development of its DS series.

With the DS 6 and at the latest with the 1970-1972 produced Yamaha DS7 was already clear, where the journey would go in the 250cc class.

In developing the engines, Yamaha has benefited from its vast experience in racing, which has been relentlessly emphasised in road vehicle advertising. Fans of the brand know that the highly successful DS 7 construction served as the basis of the then unbeatable TZ racing machine, and road and racing engines ran almost simultaneously from the same production line.

There has been a lot of argument on the technical performance of these Japanese motorcycles, but one thing is agreed upon by every lover of the ride; these bikes touch souls.
