feetupfun Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) That bike has similarities to the bike ridden by Mick Andrews' Japanese (Yamaha employee) riding companion in the 1975 SSDT (kickstart shape, tank graphics and top shock mount location) There are also differences - the bike in the SSDT photos has strange extended fork tops and a standard TY250 exhaust heat shield SSDT photos courtesy of Peter Paice (Mick Andrews' Aussie riding companion in the 1975 SSDT) Edited August 26, 2012 by feetupfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
