It’s a little ripper! 1978 Yamaha yz 80

[@xipingpooh5783]

My friend had one here in the states. It was yellow and black. We would ride it all day, every day. Thanks for the great video time travel!!👍🏼

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

[@Veritch-Electric]

[@MichaelStewart-rw3gm]

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

Absolutely 👍

[@robertthurston6858]

Buddy , you think you’re safe without a helmet. Not. Ok ,that sounds like my ‘78.

[@1SixpenceFan]

Peak horsepower @12,500 RPMs Maximum RPM 15,000 but people are afraid they're overreving them

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

Especially with older bikes, worried somethings gonna let go!

[@1SixpenceFan]

@@beardsdirtbikes4059 I rode a 1978 YZ80 no telling how many hours, probably 2 or 3K. It hit 13,000 every time I got on it. I don't know what you would have to do to blow it up.

[@leemaharg3788]

I don't give a shit what they say about present bikes ,bikes back in the 70s and 80s were much more powerful than the crap they churn out now !

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

And bags more character too!

[@DirectoutdoorsTV]

14 yr old and just got a 98 kdx 220. Thing rips. And I agree the new stuff can't even compare to old bikes.

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

@@DirectoutdoorsTV great bikes! Check out my videos of my old kdx 220 and my current 200

[@adamwindle2572]

Old bikes have far more character i agree. But if you think they are faster then Sir, you are dreaming.. Put that against a CR85 or KTM85. Even a 90's CR80 would rip it a new sphincter 😅

[@hanshenrikhansen7823]

Riding without a helmet...really clever.

[@sambies2292]

You’re SO cool. How would he know about safety without you

[@ericktorza5198]

Thé réal Wheel is too big

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

It’s a 14” rear wheel which is what they came with from factory

[@chrisdeering1120]

Not a 78

[@beardsdirtbikes4059]

Why?

[@chrisdeering1120]

i guess it is. honestly, i didnt know they came in white. i thought only yellow in 78. learn something new everyday :)
