Yamaha C3 - $500!!!

Post by babblefish »

Here's a bargain for anyone living in the Bay Area who wants a Yamaha C3:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/mcy/d/ ... 32805.html

"I bought this in 2009 but only drove it a few times. It's been sitting in my garage for 10 years. I did not have time to clean up the garage and now it's time. Battery needs to be charged.
If you are good with fixing motorcycles or looking for a good deal, this maybe your lucky day."


$500

A C3 for $500? I like that! I always thought C3 stood for Coleman Cooler Cruiser :lol:

Honestly, it's pretty rough, but I smile when I see it, so that's good.

What are your plans for it? Restoration or leave it as is? It would look great restored and sitting in the living room. With plants all around it.:)

Been eyeballing this one for a few weeks now. Apparently the trunk is heated! I usually just put my pizza on the floorboard, but damn, this is the way to go. :wink:

This would appear to be a 50cc bike but they come in a 150cc displacement as well.

Peirspeed 150 Express Delivery

Post by vintagegarage »

Peirspeed was a company similar to Genuine, except much shorter lived. While Genuine has been rebranding and selling PGO scooters, Peirspeed was an America company rebranding and selling TGB scooters. I have a Peirspeed/TGB 150 Express Delivery. It is fast and is a lot of fun to ride, and the most comfortable scooter I have. You pretty much have to use the foot pegs on the side of the floor, and push back hard when stopping quickly. The backrest fits comfortably in your lower back, and you can tell that the scooter is meant for a professional who is riding it all day. All of the Peirspeed/TGB delivery scooters come with factory wiring for the heated hot food bag, but it is very rare to find one that actually has the heated bag. The bag comes out and has carry straps on it. You are supposed to keep the bag plugged in most of the time. You remove the bag to carry it into the pizza bakery to pick up your pizzas, and then again, when you deliver the food to the customer. I bought what may have been the last NOS thermostatically heated bag for mine for well over $200, and it works amazing well. I also installed the factory knee basket which is very handy. I actually bought more than a dozen of those knee baskets when Peirspeed closed, and they fit many TGB models. With the heated bag installed, mine can carry 8 large pizzas. With the bag removed, it can carry six 24-packs of 12 ounce canned diet cokes. Here is a photo of my Peirspeed 150 Delivery Express:
