This Yamaha FS1-E DX is a highly original example of the classic Japanese moped, benefiting from a comprehensive restoration in 2012, and cherished ownership since then. Power comes from a 49cc two-stroke air-cooled engine, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. As a 1976 UK-market bike, this FS1-E (or ‘Fizzy’, as they are more knowingly called) is a ‘pre-restriction’ model capable of 45mph in standard guise – with many having been tuned to go much faster. From 1 August 1977, mopeds were restricted to 30mph making the pre-restriction models highly collectible.

This Yamaha FS1-E DX is a charming Japanese classic, finished in a vibrant period-correct colour and benefiting from a detailed specialist restoration within the last decade. While many of these mopeds were used and abused in period, this particular ‘Fizzy’ managed to escape the clutches of overzealous teenagers by being safely stored for the best part of 30 years. For someone looking to relive their youth, or for a connoisseur of these 1970s machines, it would make a fine addition to their collection.
