This is a 175cc 1973 Yamaha CT-3 street/trail motorcycle. It is the first new motorcycle I ever owned, and the vehicle I was riding when I started the destruction of my hips - my fault, not the bikes! I have been itching to get my license back and have a small dual purpose bike to shake the cobwebs out of my brain once in a while. I saw this on Craig's List Friday and went to Lockhart with tom to look at it - and bought it. It needs some work, but it started once when the seller tried. It is obvious that it has been sitting for most of the 35 years of it's life, but the gold paint is still good, only 1 small tank dent, original tires with 1760 miles still have the pips on them. It needs a new Autolube pump and carb rebuilt. Ebay and JCWhitney seem to have nearly everything I need. I hope to have it on the road before the end of the year.
