big bears are great- i had a 66 but mine didn't have the exhaust braces on the back near the baffle nuts. haven't been able to find one in san diego so i'm building a 67 catalina with a 350 motor- i got lucky when i found the motor from a wrecked grand prix.
I started on a 80cc Yamaha, next the 1966 Candy Apple Red & White Big Bear 250, heck of a bike in those days! 174 Yamaha 650, 1982 920 Virago, 1986 1100 cc Virago. But that 250 still was a thriller.
As a big 2-stroke bike lover, I have a 1972 Kawasaki H2, & a 1975 Suzuki Water Buff. I love em both dearly, but a Red 1965 Yamaha Big Bear Scrambler, is my Dream Bike...still!
I had 5 big bears. Love the sound of the pipes popping and the hollow sound.

One of the bikes I lusted over when I was a teenager on a Yamaha 80. It is beautiful.

Beautiful time machine.
I miss the bikes from that era.
Beautiful
Love it, very correct build.
Just sold my blue big bear !!! 😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺
It has the wrong seat, 66 seat was black and white. I have a 66 yds3c in blue and pearl also 😎😎
wrong color seat scheme for that year
It is the correct colour.
The seat is not correct, that seat is 65 , 66 like mine has white sides !!! Nice bike -!!🏍🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺😀😀😀
