Yamaha YDS3-YM1-YM2/C Brochure

Several Collectors do like to know the differences between the YDS3 models and the bore-up 305 cc versions YM1 and YM2. And I found a YM2C (scrambler) one!

Actually the YDS3 can only be comapred with the YM1, the YM2 was simply the big brother or sister from the YDS5E.

This is a 1964 early YDS3 with the tuning fork emblem on the tank, one-piece front fender (same as the YDS2) and a black, thin seat. The brochure has a small cut-out. Someone needed the Yamaha emblem for his scrapbook! I will add the later YDS3 brochures later!

Here you see the very first YDS3 that "landed" in Germany, pictured on the Nurburgring Circuit. It was a metallic green black bike. Picture taken in September 1964.

The YM1 differed only externally in having a "305" badge on the sidecover, the cylinderheads had a different shape and the exhausts/mufflers had these very specific protruding silencers.

The YM2 was the enlarged version of the YDS5E and only had the following differences. A "305" emblem on the sidecover and a normal dynamo unit (no dynastart provision). The battery was therefore also smaller.

A very stylish machine it was.

The YM2C was only sold in North America and was after the limited sales YDS3C the first volume "Scrambler" type Yamaha model.

A very lovely machine it was (is). Difficult to find one with a good exhaust system!
