Hell of a bike IT’s are my fave I’ve had 175’s and 200’s 79’-86’ and they are hard to beat. Compare upkeep on a new 4 stroke and it’s a simple equation

Same as one in video

[@AndrewC.McPherson-xf5zw]

Looks and sounds awesome

[@jefferykazimer]

I am from Coudersport PA, that is where you were at. This used to be an old rail-road grade, and I have rode through that same trail on bikes, ATV's and snowmobiles many times. How funny to randomly stumble upon a youtube video, and there is your hometown! BTW that river you rode through was the upper Allegheny River that meets in Pittsburgh. Cool Video!

[@enjoytheridesports7343]

Hey Jeffery You’re Correct! However at the Time of the Ride I did not know that. I did learn that later on , The whole area is Beautiful and a great area for me to Ride and explore. Ya slim chance to run into a video of a trail you know so well. . Hey Jeffery after miles house where is the rest of the trail or RR bed? I was hoping it went pass gold to Ulysses ? Any other trails in the area you could inform me of ?? Thanks Again Tony PS there is another video of the area on my channel take a look.

More videossssss!!!

Thanks for watching ...Here is a few more ENJOY.

[@concernedcitizen5506]

Had one of these in 77. It was a beast. Between us we had a 175 and 250 and my 400. It was a wheelie monster. Could do wheelies in all gears. At the time it was about the quickest thing on dirt and was quicker than a cb750 to 140k on the road. So much fun.

[@eriklund784]

Looks pretty good on the trail. I had a WR 500 for a while and it was a bit too much, and I geared it down but I sold it, a bit too much, and when geared stock too much speed in tight trails. This looks good and doesn't seem to load up too bad.

[@enjoytheridesports7343]

Hi Eric I would like to have a wr500 in my collection they keep going up in price but ya it is a monster of a bike the IT400 is a Enruro and a IT Bike not as hot as the wr but a lot of fun and set up for tooling through the trails it has a heavy fly wheel making it easy to go very slow with no clutch pulled in ,but has a got kick if needed ans it is street legal! thanks Man.

[@toastopia1]

I live in new jersey, are the older it bikes easy to make street legal? I know jersey is easier then pa! The it has a head light and a brake light and speedo. Really cool bike! Looking into them! I currently ride ,a 85 xl600r. Cool video! Nice seeing a old bike being ridden!

[@enjoytheridesports7343]

No t sure if pa is easer I think it depends on the bike my good friend in NJ turn his cr250r into a tagged bike but it was not easy to get thru NJ if you wish to sell your XR,I would be interested to buy it, let me know? Enjoy The Ride!

[@Henry-F3]

I have the same bike, do you know where I can order a new rear shock or how I can adjust it because it is pretty bad.😂

Your handsignals are wrong!! Use your left for both turns.. left arm straight out is for a left turn. Left arm out bent up at the elbow means you are turning right... be safe, great bike....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY

You are correct, and left arm out and down is stop, But I Think u and I are the only ones that know that! LOL Thank you Bill and GOD Bless you and your family as well as the GREAT USA!! Enjoy The Ride Every Day Bill!!!

Actually, both signals are appropriate according to the Utah drivers handbook.

whats the top speed on the 400 or the fastest you have gone on it?

[@enjoytheridesports7343]

I really have no idea, I would guess 85 90 top speed maybe, ... it is tagged so on the road around 60 is my top speed.

Running properly not that this one isn’t, they are a vicious trail bike and will keep up with anything with the right rider. 400 cc of two stroke power is more than sufficient for most situations.
