Yamaha at2 (what is it)

[KTurner87]

Being brought up with old bikes, there was only one type of bike i was going to get when the time came. My mates all rode aprillia rs125's and yamaha dt's. But i rode a yamaha at2. the bike is from '73 and is very similar to early dt models. That is about all i know. It dos'nt seem to have been imported into the uk in great numbers, so any info on the model would be appreaciated

[hmmmnz]

they are the same as the ct1 -3 and the dt1-3 except that the ct ran a 175cc engine and the dt ran a 250cc  they  only came out for 3 years the at1 at2 and at3 71-73.
the a,c,dt siries bikes were the first of yamaha's "torque induction" engines meaning that they had expansion chambers instead of the previous trumpet exhausts,

and hats about all i know,
i think after they finished being produced they moved on to the it and tt bikes
