Old dude can rip

[@christerstefansson8661]

No he couldnt...

[@SixSpeedSS]

Sounds and looks healthy. Pretty easy to get that front end up I see. Best of luck on the auction.

[@VitaliyKhomich]

Wow, would never expect this kind of riding from you, NICE.

[@mcleans400]

i have to say excellent job on the restoration i had one just like it i wish i still had it to restore like that!! good job !!!

[@harleydavidson801]

sounds great,looks awesome. I can almost smell it,thanks for the memories....

[@pontiac500bj]

Looks like a great bike! I rode the wheels off mine in competition..

[@64BuzzKillington]

Whoever bought your bike got a vintage YZ better than most privateers raced in 79. Unless you sold it for 6000 Id find it hard to believe you made a profit with all the parts and time you put into it. Damn it, now you have me wanting a yz too

[@dylandavis9275]

I might by one of these for 400 bucks that’s doesn’t look as good as this one but it runs but these things look like they rip!! Nice video

[@karlpoindexter3628]

How the hell is it u can tell that I'm old? I am, but how do ya know? I thought wearing a helmet and mask might have concealed that fact.

[@davidhughes6578]

That shirt, those jeans and body language... But old or not you can rip a bike alot better then me. Can tell you've put some time in on a dirt bike. Thanks for the vid.

[@chriswood7165]

i had one of them in the UK. great bike

[@majorKAP]

@gamejr84 The helmet? That's a Bell....bought new just two years ago. They may still have it in their line-up.

[@williampollock1274]

Wow! I had that same bike as a teenager. I remember it being really fast. Good times back then. I would love to get a vintage bike like that but my wife says no. So I guess I'll just stick with my fuel injected four strokes that we have today.

[@jorge1988]

dont blame the wife

[@williampollock1274]

@@jorge1988 Wife says that I have enough bikes and I don't need anymore.😂😂 Can't really blame her we have 5 of them.

That is a beautiful bike!

He might be old but he sure knows how to ride a bike!

[@tonyt8805]

Older now but a kid when it was new in 1979! 😉

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@tonyt8805 I was 13 in 79’, got a brand new IT175, that was a lot of bike for little shit like me but once I had it for a week it fit like a glove. Rode to school and everywhere else , I miss those times.

[@dennisharrison3114]

I had one I'm here in ky to loved mine like new it was back in 1990

[@DudemanSwede]

Great sound!

[@mrmoparrr]

Do you remember your carb specs on the bike ? Main jet , pilot , needle clip location?

[@polinimher]

Nice ride..:)I have only like that engine..You have stock ignition on this bike i have PVL ignition..

[@2stroketerror125]

Do these have the power of a newer 250? That is a beauty!!

[@twp35]

I live in Harrodsburg,Ky. How close are you? I traded an old DT for a 79 YZ250 and I'd like to talk to you about where you got some of your stuff on this one from. You would like my restored 75 Can Am TNT250.

[@questionreality6003]

Yammie invented the monoshock system

[@mrmoparrr]

Where did you buy the silencer from? Nice job restoring the bike also!

[@ironman19999999]

i have a 1980 yz250 and was wondering if you remember what you had the carb set screws set at and what ratio fuel did you use?

[@MrBikeman98]

Do you remember the weight and seat height?

[@errata101]

the sound of a 2 stroke, ripping along, imagine trying to ride like that with a 4, ha, sadly, no ripping like a 2 stroke; one of the greatest joys is ripping through a fresh plowed field and feeling the rear tire sink and propel you like a rocket forward,,,,,,,,,,,

[@MtlDeath]

Lmao.. that is the toughest grass I've seen in my life.. wtf.. ya were gettin on it and not a single roost.. what in the hell is that shit made of???

[@sideskraft]

I agree -- totally amazing!!

[@adenzien]

Wish I still had mine

[@jakezark]

[@mrmoparrr]

What silencer is on that ?

[@indysled5001321]

[@ronbaker2673]

For an old guy he rides!!

[@keithmckenzie1569]

Good rider. That bikes hauls ass even with his heavy weight.. she ia a screamer

[@clayton5150]

Those pro forms racing pipes really add some rip to the old two strokes the stock pipes just dont have the technology.

[@TheMotodude13]

you a bad ass old man ! lol

[@Sledluva213]

thats soo sick

[@Levisnteeshirt1]

Air cooled bikes were bad to seize if ran hard cold ,, I would let it get more heat in it before hitting it hard

[@garyeasdale1004]

Next will be bumps and jumps

[@anamarialeonleon1286]

Esta es una moto que en el año que salió fue muy visado por los que les gusta el moto cros por gran potensia

[@darrellsomers5427]

79 and latter suck big on vibration and low on horsepower
