1976 Yamaha "Fizzy" FS1-E DX | Coolest sub 50cc moped?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- 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.

Remember when I was at school in the 70s some of the 5th year cool lads had them, remember seeing them in the bike sheds !! I would admire from after !! I was around 14 at the time, and could wait until I was 16, lovely memories 👍
I owned NOW197R back in 1986 (The Fs1-e-DX) exactly the same as the bike shown with a few mods! It had a micron exhaust which was ridiculously lound, also had a '60' kit and It used to do 63mph on a downhill stretch, all my friends who had similar bikes at the time were jealous of the speed it would do when we were 16! Ahh the memories..
Had a purple one. Went ok when I had it, but very shortly I could only get about 35 mph. An ss50 Honda beat me in a race. Then someone asked me if I had adjusted the points lately. Found out what they were, and adjusted them with a feeler gauge. The power was just incredible, 4.8hp feels like 200 when you are used to 1. Hunted down any ss50 Honda I could find and put them in their place. I am in my sixties now and have a litre bike, but that FS1E felt just as fast after my repair. The joy of being 16. Had my first job, first proper girlfriend and first transport, a Fizzie. That bike opened the doors to being an adult.
Yes, i was in the same situation in 1978. 16 , first proper girlfriend and a gang of other moped riders hang around with.
They were golden days of freedom that are long gone sadly.
I tracked down the one I owned when 16, I am over 50 now. Its still fun to ride and you get so many people telling you their stories.. just wonderful
My dad had one of its competitor bikes!
''Suzuki Samurai''
He sold that for salvage price when I was a kid.
Today if I owned one, I could sell it for a huge amount or keep it as a souvenir!
I wish
Every school yard hells angels must have back in the day.
I had a 'Kenny Roberts ' yellow DX,
OLD 62P. After many,many years of searching, she must be in Fizzy heaven.
The colour scheme is often referred to as the Kenny Roberts livery after 'King' Kenny Roberts
Fizzer ap 50 SS 50 fond memories
This model wasn’t “The derestricted version”. It pre-restriction
I thought all DX,s were restricted to 30. One of my mates got one new but even my Honda SS50 was faster
@@MrSlaphead1960 They wern't restricted until after August 1977.....
The exact same spec as mine in 1978. 💙 I nearly died when I saw it.
So happy that the Reg wasn't TCA 101R. 😂
Same here, mine was RHB 463R
Really nice example . i ve got a Baja Brown FS1E
my first road bike! loved it but every time it rained with the spark plug situated in such a position water got in and it cut out!!!! but loved it.
Never heard of them being called a fizzer. London & Essex they were called fizzy's. I'd swap my house for that bike and go live in a tent. I'm 64 now but sill get flashbacks of just looking at the clutch lever or the throttle grip, you know what I mean, just the magic of it. Why oh why did we sell them.
Used to have a 1984 with drum front brake. Would love to have one again, but recently they´ve gotten ridiculously expensive. I save one for sale a couple of days ago, for 19000 Sek/ £1600.
I remember riding my mates fsie dx back in the day I owned a Honda ss50 5 speed 60mphdownhill😂😂😂
This was called a FIZZER where I came from, only heard it called a fizzy on RUclips.
Naa it was a Fizzy where i was from (Down South) too
In Devon, it was a “fizzy” I ended up with a TY 50, still good fun, though.
Around 6 grand now and that one is another example of that kind of price,infact that particular one probably worth more
I had 2 identical to yours, bought the 1st one in 1978 £250 only one year old.
Had exactly the same back in '82 UFD434R The front disc was useless in the wet!
Fizza is as it’s known👍
Was going to say the same 👍🏻
FS1E - FIZZIE isn’t it?
@@Scissors69 was definitely a Fizza when I was a kid
simon hanlon - I’m sure you did but have a quick Google of it
@@Scissors69 OK "the humble Fizzer won legions of fans simply because it rarely went wrong. Other machines were possibly faster, snazzier, lighter, had more gears or more style but the FS1-E had one insurmountable virtue; it was nigh on impossible to break and for a sixteen year old this was key" :-)
I had a silver one just like it. Standard trim 45km/h (just under 30mph. With a 16 mm carb and Z1 cilinder id got to 100. About 62 mph. I should have kept it😢
To bad in my country we only got a 100cc version,still use it and capable for 65-68mph for 40+ years old bike
Got one 2nd hand when I was 16. dad sold it when we were broke.
Sorry
@@jaydee8958 teehee good old dad
Get bizzy with the Fizzy
i remember in the 1970s . the honda, puch & jawa. they didnt have gears. what is this 3 speed or 4 speed ?
Fizzy indeed
I had yellow one cost £220 in 1976 it did 45mph I don't remember front disc?
Had one when 16 , i remember it cost £15.00 to insure , i paid £ 60.00 for it from a friend who was buying a rd lc 125
Me too I have one.
It was very expensive at that time and even in the 90's and 2000😅
Bumblebee style ? You mean the Kenny roberts colours
That is an R reg 1977 no 76.
Hello sir can you give me a sample of this fuel tank yamaha fs1 dx 1977
Not the DX mine was as it had the auto oil tank for the fuel on the side,the model your showing doesn’t as the oil had to be mixed in manually when filling with petrol .
sorry.you are wrong...actually the first DX's were registered in the UK in 1975...and were still 'mix in the tank'...the later version dx (Red in the uk...still with pedals ,albeit the pedals were made to look like footrests) were introduced early 77....and pre registered before the legal 33mph restriction..and did have autolube....
That is a 1977 R reg 1976 we’re P reg.
Wrong...registrations ran annually from 1st august each year in those days...so P reg ran from 1st august '75...to 1st august '76...then R reg.1/8 76...to 1/8/77
@@robstahl2531 yes you are right but this kenny roberts / speed block yellow DX came to the UK in JANUARY '77. not '76 (i had a P plate 76 DX) .. not the same.. lots were registered (but not sold) before the 30mph law came in .. then they sold for more money from 1978.. now they are 8 grand
I have one
I have two !
@@trampsdog nice!
@@trampsdog Your very lucky. I,m envious. Had a 74 model back in 76 but moved to bigger bikes and never looked back
I`d love to restore one.
Invite your pants down to tea!
Lovely kitted bike but I would think the Italians would have something to say about coolest.
back in the 70's 16 yr olds would think they were 'hard ' . and if you turned up at school with a moped you were a prat or worse a bender .
