1970 Yamaha 60cc Mini-Enduro Road Test / Specs

Until now the early or sub-teen cyclist had to be content with a small-wheeled minibike, or try to con Dad into getting him a hard to handle 90 or 125. The new Yamaha fits the needs of this neglected age group perfectly. It is an exact scaled-down version of the larger Enduro line, with all the features of its bigger brothers.
