Amazing how that bike runs Kaplan cycles number one New England motorcycle museum Rockford Connecticut number one 💯🇺🇲 I don't want a pickle I just want to ride my motorcycle

[@chickmcgee1000]

I traded a 72 360 on a new 75 400. They are a brute of a bike. Bulletproof!

[@chicagoui9299]

Hello Kaplans. My dad had one of these and we built it. Also put in new white suspension set up for a 200#er. I couldn't ride it until I could start it. I started it at 13. I also had a 78DT175. Rode the tires off that thing! Good ole days long gone by.

[@lowellstobbe-lk4vc]

You can keep the millage down on the odometer when you keep the front wheel off the ground! 😁

[@michaelferik8060]

Bought the exact same bike in 1975 from D&D CYCLE in Norman, OK. Thanks for the flashback and congratulations on a fine example of one!

[@mikehunt8968]

Back in 1976 i had the 125 version, great little bike...😎 I wanted this one later but ended up going with a Honda, XR500R...

Nice work on this classic enduro. My buddy used to have one of these while my friend, his younger brother, rode a DT175. Great, fun bikes.

[@countermoonman]

Wow, another beauty from the past, in 1975 I was a 16 yr. old sophomore in high school wishing I, like many others , was Brad Lackey or Roger DeCoster, riding & racing my 71 Yamaha and 73 CZ was the only thing on my mind, and chasing girls, lol…anyhow, thanks again for sharing another great bike from the past, I truly appreciate it man. Cheers 🍻. 😎🇺🇸✌️

Love that old school two stroke goodness 👍👍😃

[@wesmattimore2895]

You are correct, I owned one, they are great bikes

[@markmalone279]

I had a DT175 too. Rode many-a-miles on that old horse.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Loved the Yamaha 1978, DT Line Up...My first introduction to 2 strokes and dirtbikes. Been a love affair ever since, and I'm 51 years young now. Lol

[@sanfranciscobay]

When I was in HIgh School (1969-73) I owned a Kawasaki 175 Bushwacker and a Yamaha 360 (I put a low expansion chamber and street tires on it), both 2 Stroke, Single Piston, Enduro Street and Trail type. We used Blenzalll in the 2 stroke oil tank for a unique smell.

[@DAVE_WHITE]

Carlos with the rag ready to RE shine it up!!!!

[@zachroberts1988]

One of my buddies had a 74 DT 400 we rode the wheels off of as teenagers! Id love to have one now! Not fast but and absolute blast!

[@robertjongejans]

Your enthusiasm is outstanding. I enjoy every vudeo. This bike is a pearl.

[@daveyt4802]

Neighbor had the 400. I had a 1979 DT 125 growing up.

[@rubezahlmountainworks7974]

I had a 175. Those bikes are a vibe.

[@lukasrgl]

Enduros are Freedom for real! Even with my Supermoto i can get to way more Places than a Streetbike... Can't wait till i finally finish my DT 400 MX :)

[@sgg8970]

I love that bike. Brings back tons of memories and that same style is what I started out just loving because watching the older guys on the street then able to go right off road was too good to be true!❤😊

[@joegilly1523]

My buddy has one of these . Old but works great still.

[@jimhmod]

Just finishing a the DT-250B version I was given after ?? years of being down. 1898 on the odometer and the original Trial Universal tires but storage wasn't real nice to it. Not real bad but not as clean as that one. After a quick carb clean, new points, condensor and coil and (all bad) and bypassing the main harness to start it, it fired on the second kick. After I heard "that sound", I started the ordering tires, tubes, bulbs voltage regulator and other needed bits to make it roadworthy. The grandkids will get it after I have a few weeks of fun sorting out any issues-------------------maybe. I had a '73 DT360 and a MX360 45 plus years ago when in the Navy and had a blast on them

[@kennyrichard2971]

The yellow tank was one of my favorites colors too My uncle had one for years Don’t know what ever happened to it

[@ropeyzkittlez9703]

very nice bike, there's a couple local to me they want 2-3500 the one looks like it would clean up pretty nice, found a decent 175 with title and 4400 miles been kept in the family since new may scoop it up

[@Nudnik1]

I wish Japan made these style street trail again. I have a KLX 250 2016 looks like plastic power ranger stuff. These were all so classy in 70s chrome and different colors . Kawasaki KE,Yams Dt, Suzuki TS, Honda XL. Rode ok on trails and street.

[@gorillamax4872]

Very special bike

[@toddjacobs5660]

I had a 1978 DT125 as a young kid, these things were indestructable gas tank looked identical to this one, they are fun bikes, that 400 is pretty cool ,verygood lowend torque excellent shape 👍

[@JH-ox7hn]

One of my dream motorbikes. In germany, this was sold with a restriction to 17 HP, so it was not too popular, as the DT250 delivered the same performance (or lack of it) for a considerable lower price. Meanwhile, these things are highly sought after collector's bikes and cost a fortune.

[@markkimball1569]

Love that. Friend had a 80cc. But I’d like that on me now !

What a beaut. Never had a chance to ride a 360 or 400. Did they have a plastic front fender k. These? Looks like the aftermarket one I have on the ct175 to run a 21 inch.

Salesman back in 1976 tried to sell me a leftover 75 SC500. I took it for a ride and tried doing small maneuvers I'd do in the woods. Between it being only 4spd and 500CCs it was too responsive. Ended up with a IT250
