Arriving in November. The cleanest, lowest mileage T80 we’ve ever had.
If you’re reading this you probably know one or two things about Japanese step-throughs, but bear with me. The 4-stroke Honda Cub came out in the late fifties and Yamaha didn’t board the step-through train for nearly fifteen years after that. When they did get around to it they delivered punchier, but perhaps less family friendly 2-strokes. Then came the Townmate. A four stroke, shaft driven machine. The shaft drive is crucial. If you do some googling you will see comments about it being slower than chain drive but in real world use this is a complete non-issue. You don’t ride a sub-100cc bike to break land speed records, but the T80 can be as feisty and fun as a sackful of ferrets. We’ve had a few of these in and the subsequent owners absolutely delight in their performance. I’ve got a video of one absolutely tearing down a mountain road in northern Scotland, sent to me by a happy customer.
On top of that, the shaft drive is very low maintenance and clean, clean, clean. You could ride to your wedding on this bike and not worry about oil getting on our dress/tuxedo. And after the ceremony you can both ride off together as it’s got pillion pegs.
This is the 4-speed, electric start version with less than 700 miles under its belt. It is 31 years old and almost brand new. In exceptional condition.
These photos were taken by our colleagues in Japan. More pictures and a video will be taken when it arrives. You can reserve this bike with a 30% (£700) deposit. The listed price is for the bike with all duty paid. UK registration can be arranged for £165. Delivery anywhere.
When the bike arrives we will film a walkaround video and take photos and send them to you, if you are not happy with the bike for any reason, we will refund your deposit in full at this stage.
