interessante kleine geschichte von colinjay vom internationalen srforum:
"I want to put forward a bike to add to the list of SR500 Owner Approved Motorcycles.
Those of you who aren't from Australia or New Zealand, will probably never heard of this bike, and I dare to say that there are quite a few Aussies who may have heard of them, but never actually seen, let alone riddedn one.
But to me they are one of the iconic Yamaha models.
I was given one of these bikes back in the mid 1980's and have always regreted selling it when I cut back my bike collection prior to joined the navy 1987. The bike was about 10 years old when I got it and it had had a very hard life. In fact the reason Dave gave it too me was that it has blown a bigend and was considered uneconomical to repair. But, being a bike mechanic with the local Honda dealer at the time, I got good discount from the local Yamaha dealer who I had worked for some years before.
I rebuilt the engine and gave the rest of the bike a good going over, i.e. new tyres, control cables, brake shoes, chain and spockets etc. and used it as a ride to work hack / general run-around bike for a few years. It was brilliant in traffic, even though it had bugger all power, it had such low gearing that it could be ridden slower than walking pace with the clutch fully home, and had enough poke to beat all the cars, and even some much bigger bikes (Harleys) away from the traffic lights. When I retire from serious (open) enduro competition I even rode the poor thing in a few club enduros, picking up the odd 2nd and 3rd place in my capacity class.
I have been on the look out for a good cheap runner for the last 5 or so years, however, most of these bikes were ridden quite litteraly into the ground, and good ones aren't very easy to find. A few months ago, I was talking with Andrew, the mechanic at the local Yamaha dealer in Clare, and he said that he had one in his shed. We started some basic negotiations, but it never went anywhere, and as he lives some 20km from my place I never even went and had a look at the bike. Anyway, last week he rang me to see if I could sort out some problems his parents were having with their TV reception. He offered to pay me for my time, but hey, were in the same bike club, we have been riding in the same race series all year and his parents had helped out with picking my gear up from the fuel stops, so I told him not to even think about paying me. So last Thursday evening, after I had spent the morning around at his parents place checking out the TV antenna and cabling, and sort of getting it to work a bit better, his dad, Ralph, comes knocking at my door saying that he has something for me for my troubles. I went outside with him and there on the back of the ute is the bike. Ralph, told me that Andrew had descided that he would problably never get around to doing anything with it, so he was giving it too me as payment for look at the TV antenna problem.
So, here it is, in all its glory, a mighty Yamaha AG175.
It is a 1980 "G" model, (compliance plate date 11/79), so it is a much latter model than my original one which was a 1974 / 1975 model. But, Yamaha didn't change them very much over the life of the model so it doesn't matter to me. I originally want one to make into a bit of an enduro hack, but as it is so complete (even if a bit rough) I have descided to restore it and keep it as original as possible, which means I am still on the look out for one to use as a enduro bike."

Gefällt! 
Sehr ähnlich den RTs und frühen DTs noch mit 19'er vorn.

Ob's am Alter liegt, da§ ich immer kleinere Mopeds gut find ?!?

Arne hat geschrieben: ich würd ja eher auf TS400 stehen
zur not wäre auch die TS250 ok
nettes video [ url]http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/arcticcatmatt/TS400/?action=view¤t=9e072664.flv[/url] dazu
Tschuldigung, wenn bei Euch das 'ne Wiederholung ist. Arnes Beitrag ist bei mir leer.
Mit "Zitat" seh' ich was er geschrieben hat und hab' mal Leerzeichen vor und hinter die "img"s und "url"s gemacht.
Dabei hab' ich aus Versehen den Video-url "stillgelegt - da liegt's wohl dran.
komisches Verhalten
