Dirt roads for the '78 Yamaha DT175!

I've got the 1995 model, black tank, green seat, and she rips, love my Yamaha dt175 🇦🇺👍💯

I had a 1979 DT175, Orange with white fenders, to this day it was one of the most fun motorcycles I've ever owned, the road ends who cares just keep going, I went to Oregon at one point to visit friends later in life, and a local Harley Davidson dealership was having a Tent Sale, I stopped in and low and behold in one of the tents was the exact same bike I had back when I was 16 years old, same color and everything, I stood there for quite a while thinking, how would I get this thing home?, I passed on that bike but this motorcycle will forever live in my heart as one of the greatest motorcycles I have ever owned, whoever owned this bike did the same thing I did, converted it to Pre-Mix and pulled the baffle/spark arrestor out and re-jetted it...memories ❤

Funny I read this while in Oregon visiting my mother in law. Great story! I can't wait to go ride mine again :)

Oh man, I had a '79 DT175 in the early 80's. It was the smallest bike that was legal to ride on the freeway. Great memories Thanks for the video!

[@goatheadfarm]

Must have been fun cruising that thing around! Would take all the courage in the world to drive it on the freeway now, unfortunately :( Appreciate you checking out the video and commenting!! Cheers!

My first ever bike when I got my licence back in 86. Brings back memories when I saw your video especially at your farm area riding

[@goatheadfarm]

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!!

[@WildBlueYonderDay]

What a distinct sound. I had that bike and sure wish I had it yet.

[@goatheadfarm]

It truly is such a distinct sound! I feel lucky to have it! such a fun little bike!

[@hobknobbobbityjob2414]

I too had that exact bike...loved it.

[@robdixson196]

That engine went into many bikes and one four wheeler over three decades. For good reason too, those things are bulletproof

[@migliaman]

Brilliant little bike, great video, thanks!

[@kevinfiebelkorn4715]

Don't you wish they all started that easy? I envy you being out there on a country road. I haven't been on a bike in a few years but I've kept my license just in case.

[@goatheadfarm]

It sure would be nice! Seems like this bike can sit and sit and just keeps on running! I love it. Nothing beats the calming affect of cruising open dirt roads, at least for me. During harvest it gets a bit crazy, otherwise it's just so calm and peaceful. Thanks Kevin - always look forward to your comments and truly appreciate them. Cheers! Derek

I took my motorcycle test on that same bike in the early 80s. I see a Co, license plate, could be my old bike. I can almost smell the exhaust.

[@goatheadfarm]

I know what you mean about being able to smell the exhaust. Every time I start it it's there and kind of smells like an old friend :) I bought the bike a few years ago near Salida, Colorado, so definitely could have been yours. How crazy would that be!
