There’s something particularly intoxicating about barn finds, isn’t there? The idea that someone could have just left some amazing vehicle sitting untouched and probably not even thought about it twice for decades is kind of amazing.

In any case, for anyone who enjoys motorbikes and who also lives in or near Wisconsin, there seems to be an inordinate number of interesting old bikes just chilling out in barns throughout the Badger State. This video showcases another one—a 1967 Yamaha YL1 that’s apparently been languishing in a barn for at least 40 years (and probably more).
