Yes it is classified as a motorcycle. I decided against buying it but it wasn’t because of the price he called at 11 this morning and said he had 8 more callers .The price might have seemed high but it was running, great shape , low mileage and clear title.I just aid 300 for a 78 Baboa , it looked great but mechanically needed about everything. I’ll have at least 800 in it but it’s a Grandson project . Cost is relative, this Yamaha was a lot better deal .The 4 hour drive each way was the deal breaker I’ll find something closer soon , I’m looking for a Granddaughter bike next. Thanks
