In the eighties and nineties of the last century, motorcycles and bicycles were the main means of transportation, just like today's cars, but at that time there were not many families who could afford motorcycles, so in the eighties and nineties families who could buy motorcycles should be considered relatively wealthy, and now the material living standards have improved, and motorcycles can hardly attract the attention of young people.
However, in the eyes of old riders, motorcycles are still very weighty, they still have a feeling for motorcycles, and some riders have a collection of old motorcycles, the car in the picture is the "collection" of a motorcycle friend in Shandong, it is understood that this is a Yamaha CY80 produced in 1996, which cost 6,000 yuan, in 1996 at that time, 6,000 yuan is a lot of money, for ordinary rural people, 6,000 yuan may be a total income of one or two years, which is not an exaggeration.
The shape of the Yamaha CY80 is still very beautiful, and the body is very clean, which shows that this Shandong brother likes it very much, and if he didn't like it, it would have been sold long ago, and it is impossible to keep it to this day.
This car has been with the owner for 24 years, the owner was still very young when he bought the car, and now he has entered middle age in a blink of an eye, so this motorcycle is naturally integrated with people's lives, no wonder many people are reluctant to resell their old cars, not because they have no money but because they are reluctant.
Shandong license plate, Lu Q yellow card, the owner said that the car can still run normally, although this Yamaha CY80 has run 100,000 kilometers but the car is still in good condition, the engine and gearbox are at the peak of the condition, this is the quality of the motorcycle that year, of course, in so many years, the owner brother has also replaced a lot of parts, such as batteries, light bulbs, gasoline floats, seat covers, inner tubes, electric door locks, carburetors, etc., these small parts are easy to find, not expensive, but now these accessories are getting fewer and fewer.
Then we found the body nameplate of this Yamaha CY80, which is also the ID card of this motorcycle, produced in May 1996, the power performance of this motorcycle is still good, the speed dial limit is 100km/h, but this old car can drive normally, and the performance is definitely not as good as that of contemporary motorcycles, because science and technology are advancing and industry is developing, and the current motorcycle performance is definitely better than that year.
