My 1959 Marusho Lilac LS18/1. The first model of 3. This one has sand cast engine and gearbox casings, and many brackets are just cut pieces of flat bar. You can really see that it's the first of the line. Later ones had die cast cases and pressed metal brackets.

Yamaha YC1 175cc 1956 Model. Yamaha first started production in 1955. Not many of this model left. I do know of another one in Australia.
