The Yamaha FS1-ED needs little introduction. Building on the success of the original FS1-E, the ED model continued the legendary "Fizzy" name with its unmistakable motorcycle styling, lively 49cc air-cooled two-stroke engine and slick four-speed gearbox. Equipped with the distinctive pedal changeover lever and pedals, it remained fully compliant with period moped regulations while delivering a riding experience that inspired a generation of young motorcyclists.

One of the standout features of the FS1-ED was its advanced specification for the time, including Yamaha's distinctive twin-pad fixed front disc brake caliper offering improved braking performance and helping set the model apart from many of its rivals.

Importantly, this example retains its original matching frame and engine numbers, a significant feature that collectors always look for. Finished in its correct factory Yellow, the paintwork presents superbly and perfectly complements the clean lines of this classic Yamaha.

Throughout, the motorcycle displays clear evidence of careful ownership and preservation. The paintwork has an excellent finish, the decals remain bright and crisp, and the chrome and brightwork are equally impressive. The seat is in excellent condition and retains the correct Yamaha embossing to the rear, while the instruments, switchgear and cycle parts all present exceptionally well, creating the impression of a machine that has been cherished from new.

Mechanically, the FS1-ED is running and riding very well. Its responsive 49cc two-stroke engine starts readily, the four-speed gearbox selects gears smoothly, and the bike is ready to be enjoyed immediately, whether for classic events, display purposes or gentle weekend rides.
