Description

Additional photos of this Yamaha CT1 are available here for your perusal.

What we know today to be dual sports used to be called enduro bikes on account of their go-anywhere, do-anything versatility. Yamaha’s CT1 is precisely such a motorcycle, designed to fill the gap between the AT1 and DT1.

Built with a 171cc two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, a raised rear fender, some high-mounted exhaust, and a generous amount of ground clearance, it offered customers the perfect compromise between on-road comfort and off-road chops. Thanks to its 14hp and Autolube oil injection system, it proved very approachable amongst riders of all ages and skill levels.
