Yamaha Beeline Sprinter bikes

Bill White, who engineered the famous YL1 sprinter, also built other bikes.

To start with, here is his picture again:

Other Yamaha's got his attention as well. The very popular YG1 80 cc engine was also slotted in one of his frames.

With Dick Sullivan as a rider, the machine was very rapid, here at Fairford Airfield on Sept. 23th, 1972.

Here is Dick, one day later, in full flight on the "mighty" Beeline Yamaha YG1 80 cc!

Next Bill moved to "bigger" engines and tried his hand on the Yamaha AS1 125 cc engine. As for this engine many kit parts were available, like for the YL1, Bill could immediately use all his experience for these machines.

Yamaha AS-1 Beeline Sprinter

These machines were very fast indeed.
