Anyone ever had one? My neighbour is thinking of buying his uncles 1992 plate, never failed an MOT! Been very well looked after from what I hear, serviced regular etc. Said to be immaculate.

So apart from being very f*ckin' uncool is there a legitimate reason to avoid one?

He only needs it to go to and from work and his girlfriends house so it's not going to take a hammering. (I don't think) ).

if its not going to get a hammering, he doesnt deserve to own it.

He's young so there is actually a fair chance he will.

They are so uncool, the come out the other side.

Basically, it's a C90 with a shaft drive.

There is no way it can not be win.

Sounds perfect for him. Nice one.

I used to have one of these as a field bike! Was a good laugh, even had knobblies. Seem to remember it being chain driven though?

Anyone know what one of these Yammys is worth?

I commuted on one of these little beauties for a year. stupendously reliable and cheap as chips to run and insure. A good nick one will be around £450 or so I reckon.

Good stuff, cause I think he can get it for less.
