same bike I guess from 4.18 Yamaha 175 ou 250 YZ, quant à : Maico ?

They are Yamahas, and definitely different than 4.18. Notice the Monoshock setup vs the twin shocks in 4.18. Double leading shoe on the front brake, and still air cooled. Side plastics are '82 and later, as is the Monoshock setup. Has to be a YZ490, as the 250 was water cooled by '82. Exhaust was run to the right side by '84, so I'm saying '82-83 Yamaha YZ490, which is why both Duke boys look like they are about to crash. That bike was a killer. I wonder who started the bikes for them...
