Heres a pic of a Yankee I just finished restoring.

The Yankee was produced in 1972. It is a 500cc "twingle" that can be run with both pistons in synch or at 180 degrees -- do you want power or torque?

The company went out of business before production could get truly under way. There were between 730 and 760 of the bikes produced, depending on who you talk to. John Taylor and Dick Mann were both involved in its production. Taylor is still using the name but now for high-fidelity audio equipment -- Yankee Audio.
