Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 and the first bike produced was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. Yamaha soon expanded into ‘soft bikes’ with the Passol moped in 1977, which featured a step-through design to make it pleasant for women to ride in skirts. The cutesy LC50 range emerged in 1979, which was sold as the Bop II in Britain, the Champ in America, and the Malic in Japan. A rival to the Honda ST70, the Bop II featured a two-speed automatic transmission, vacuum-operated fuel tap and automatic choke. It was designed for a maximum speed of 30mph and could be equipped with features such as a front shopping basket and rear parcel rack.

This 1983 Bop II appears in supremely original condition, complete with all the factory-supplied stickers and the original number plate. It was taken off the road in 1991, and has since been well-preserved, but recommissioning will be required before use. It sports a lovely patina and shows 7,412 miles. A V5c will need to be applied for.
