Seeing the popularity of off-road racing, particularly on the west coast of the US, Yamaha attacked the off-road motorcycle market in the late 1960s and ’70s.
Introduced in 1969, the AT1 Enduro was powered by a 123cc two-stroke single, rated at nearly 12 horsepower, mated to a five-speed transmission. It features Autolube automatic oil injection, head and taillights, a cross-braced handlebar, and a chrome luggage rack. Instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8,500-rpm redline.
This matching numbers 1970 Yamaha 125cc AT1 was owned originally by Robb Talbott and upon buying it back, he had it completely restored with Webco and 175cc power. Having been on static display in his MotoTalbott Museum in Carmel, California for some time, the bike has been re-commissioned to ready it for sale, but further fettling may be necessary before returning it to regular use.
