For Sale: 1973 Yamaha TA125

Rare 1974 Yamaha TA125 – Vintage 125cc Production Road Racer

Available now: a rare piece of motorcycle racing history – the 1974 Yamaha TA125, Yamaha’s first production 125cc road racer. Introduced in late 1973, this model was marketed as a Clubman-Level Production Racer and quickly became a favorite among aspiring racers and vintage enthusiasts alike.

Powered by a twin-cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke engine, the TA125 was based on the successful AS-3 road bike platform. With twin rear shocks and a race-ready chassis, it embodied the spirit of 1970s competitive motorcycle engineering. Production of this model was short-lived, ending in November 1974, marking the conclusion of Yamaha’s air-cooled two-stroke road racing era—and beginning a five-year gap before another 125cc racer would enter the scene.

BMW and Germany were in ruins following the Potsdam Agreement and the end of WWII in the European theatre. With their hands tied, they were very limited on what they could design and build so they were largely relegated to pre-war designs for the postwar motorcycles. When the agreement was lifted in 1948, BMW’s first postwar motorcycle to be sold to the public was the R24 250cc single cylinder, which was essentially a pre-war R23. It was not until 1956 that BMW would introduce their largely redesigned R26 model. Fitted with a 250cc single-cylinder engine, producing 15 hp, bolted directly to the frame, the R26 also came with an enclosed drive shaft, rear swingarm and Earles type front forks. The little single cylinder bikes sold well, especially in Europe, where economic and reliable daily transport was much more important than here in America. The R26 would be replaced by slightly upgraded R27 in 1960. Over its 5-year production run, just over 30,000 R26 motorcycles were built, with most of them finding homes throughout Europe.

This particular 1959 BMW R26, chassis number 362283 and engine number 362283, is a numbers matching example with excellent originality and patina throughout. It is believed to be original paint and judging by the patina and character present on the bike, it is hard to argue otherwise. Not much is known on the early history of the motorcycle but for past approximately 2 decades it has resided in collections and has been well cared for and maintained in a running “project” type condition. According to the registration sticker, still affixed to the rear fender it was last registered in Pennsylvania in 1985. The bike currently runs and has a fresh battery installed although we were only able to get the bike running by bump starting it. The odometer currently states the mileage as 4297 but the accuracy of this cannot be confirmed. With a bit of additional service, this R26 could easily be made roadworthy and would be the highlight of any motorcycle gathering or an excellent conversation piece in any collection. Included with the sale of this motorcycle is the original owners manual.
