It’s Back 1974 Yamaha FS1E + £500

A fantastic example of Yamaha’s iconic learner motorcycle, this 1974 Yamaha FS1E is finished in the highly desirable Purple Popsicle colour scheme, widely regarded as one of the best and most collectible FS1E finishes.

This bike also has some history with us, having previously been won by Frederick Drury on 15th March 2026. After enjoying it for a few months, Frederick decided to sell and gave us the opportunity to buy it back, which we jumped at as it is such a lovely example.

It benefits from matching engine and frame numbers and was fully restored around 10 years ago before being carefully stored as part of a private collection. As a result, it remains in fantastic condition throughout and presents very well both cosmetically and mechanically.

The engine was rebuilt by a renowned FS1E specialist, and it starts easily with a smooth, free-revving motor that captures exactly what makes these classic 50cc Yamahas so charming.
