Collection items
(1955 / Production Model)
This was the deluxe version of the YA-1. Its features included a slightly bigger (by 4cc) 2-stroke single-cylinder engine, a black-painted chassis, chrome fuel tank and a battery case, giving it the quality look and feel of a higher grade model. With the chestnut red YA-1 known as the “Aka-tombo” (Red Dragonfly), the YB-1 came to be called the “Kuro-tombo” (Black Dragonfly).
