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.

Ruggedness is bred into the new Yamaha baby Enduro. It has to be: the intended recipients of these machines are probably the most destructive creatures ever put on earth. But Junior Mert Lawwills will have a hard time breaking this bike up.

1970 Yamaha Mini-Enduro - more than a mini-bike

The new Yamaha Mini-Enduro is too much machine to be just a mini-bike. On the other hand, it’s too small to be a motorcycle. It’s something altogether new – 121 pounds of Enduro built like the big ones. It’s got handling that will take on logs, ruts, hummocks, just about anything nature can put in your way. That’s because it’s laid out with a full double-loop cradle frame, 15-inch spoke wheels, big Enduro front forks and a full swing-arm rear suspension. It’s no toy. Even if you wanted to , you couldn’t license it for running around on the street. With its big-bike design and spark arrester exhaust, it’s a real off-road machine, Federal Forestry approved. With a 60cc rotary valve single and a 4-speed constant mesh gearbox, it’ll show the rinky-dink minis where it’s at. And Autolube oil injection insures perfect lubrication, no matter how hard you run. Best of all, it’s designed with safety in mind. Big drum brakes, are sealed to keep out dust and water. One-piece handlebars won’t fold or shift when the pressure’s on. And a special kill button is provided for emergency stops. It’s the littlest big bike around.
