Great video. This was my first motorcycle when I was a kid. My father brought home one of these when I was 11 or 12. I rode that bike from the time I woke up until the sun went down! Same color and everything. This video brought back a flood of memories! Nice job on the restoration!

[@gtric1466]

Same..

[@Sertao2013]

Same but mine was redish orange .Rode it 11 to 16 years of age every day till I got a car with a big back seat and a girl friend . Most fun you can have as a kid growing up in the mountains of south eastern Ky .

[@thedudetravels6737]

@@Sertao2013 they really were great bikes!

[@drott150]

Same. Great memories and I still remember its smell inside our garage.

[@jeffgarmon1]

One of my good friends had this bike back in 1972. We were 13. I only road it once or twice, but I still remember how much fun I had on this bike. Dad wouldn't let me get one.

[@chrisjohnston6171]

My first mini bike in 1971!

[@charlesprice7608]

A girl that lived down the street from me had one of these when I was young. Hers was 1973 or 74. It was orange and black. I was lucky enough to get a new 1977 Honda XR75. So many kids around where I lived had motorcycles, back when growing up was a little dangerous but a ton of fun. Back when we stayed outside from as soon as we woke up till we were made to come in. 🇺🇸😎

[@yamaharaptor01able]

The good,good old days for sure! I talk about it with my buds sometimes,reminiscing. I don't ever remember stopping to eat,just going all day long. Miss the hell out of it!👍

[@Davido50]

I was lucky enuff to get a red/orange XR75 too. Great bike. Iconic. Started my obsession! Have 4 machines in garage now by grace of Good Lord 👍

[@a2wtommy]

Absolutely!

[@douglaslambert579]

Only time I made a trip back to the house was for gas.

[@bitcoindood2927]

Ah the good old days!

[@jacksonmehoff4963]

Fun lil bikes. I had a 71, red with white stripes. Rode it years. 2 others in neighborhood had em also

[@emperorpawpateen.9992]

I had a mini Enduro 60 back in the 70s. That was my first bike. Fun times.

[@davidrayner9832]

I had the red and white version in around 1972. Great little bike.

[@justjesse16]

i just had one of these come into my shop. a legit barn find. lady wants to get it fixed for her grandson to learn to ride.

[@paulgrogan8032]

What a Incredible piece of eye candy for a man room, or a office, or in my case that little rascal would sit on my dining room table😂🤣😂🤣❤️🔥

[@mr.b7156]

My first bike as a kid. Rode it to the hubs.

[@keithtrent4446]

Remember having a couple of those!

[@levitezoe1804]

Man I love it reminds me of the old school Yamaha 115 s they have in Jamaica and Dominican Republic

[@a2wtommy]

Reminds me of my 1973 Yamaha GT 80. My very first motorcycle. Loved that bike!

[@24volts_of_fun]

That was my second dirtbike after a78 z50 had so many fun times on that thing thanks for another blast from the past 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@raytycker1656]

My first bike when I was 5 years old.

[@Chuffin_ell]

Bought one of these in 79’ for....$20. Rings were rusted to the cylinder, and yes...I broke them free and rode the hell out of it...😜

[@donnywilcox3963]

Had an 82 dt 80 Enduro in yellow self mixing two stroke never turned a bolt on it (other than breaks and oil changes ) and ran the dog outta it for many hard miles as a young boy on my grandfather's farm ....was an absolute bullet proof little machine

[@garthkolbeck8674]

My twin brothers and my sister had three of the coppersand ones... Little screamers. I got my sister's and they had to put a Bassini exhaust pipe pipe on it and it was even faster! We had access to an abandoned airport runway! Paradise... And over 1500 acres of farm and woods and swamps! Awesome childhood.

[@shawnmann9491]

Ohhhhh man!!! That’s a little dream machine!!

[@Davido50]

Not for the amount they gonna ask for it...watch...$4k. Go get a brand new '21 Yamaha TTR 125LE or Kawasaki KLX 140RL . Really! Nostalgia doesn't help ya stranded on trails.

[@greenmtnman7714]

My best friend had one of these in the mid '70s when we were kids. I was jealous, as I was riding a 50 c.c. Broncco Warrior.

[@andybowyer3602]

I dreamed about those when I was 5, my buddy down the street had 1 2-3 years later I got my very own HONDA Z50R iv been a HONDA man ever since

[@Davido50]

Real men ride CRF450Rs ! ;) 58hp. '22 model is insane.

[@carolynred4616]

Great restore 🔥

[@coppersworld2054]

That was my first real bike. I love it!

[@fireonhigh2294]

My first bike!

[@tysons2ndchannel592]

[@leeraycole2164]

Love the dirtbike

[@rebellucy5610]

Extremely rare little beauty!!

[@istaymadi9789]

These are rare??

[@rockinghamlab634]

That is the bike I had!!

[@Scalihoo]

Imagine being a kid & getting that under the tree on Xmas 😲😲

[@thedudetravels6737]

My father got me this exact bike on my 12th or 11th birthday. Probably one of the best days of my childhood.

[@mikestowe6136]

like the yellow better then the one before this one

[@KidKing2009]

What size is the trail bike in this video?

[@photographerjonathan]

I used to own the Honda SL 70 and my best friend had this Yamaha. such a cool little bike. a year later how much did it sell for ?

[@markdebassige9485]

There's on in my area for $1200 and it's running condition.

[@paulstranc9619]

my co-worker Nick Walker Has one of these 1972 Yamaha Mini Enduro 2-stroke JT-1 same color But The Seat was Black And It Was So Brown And Rusty and Very Smokey When He Drives It To Work and Anywhere

[@pbmachines972]

Looks like you guys found a nest of goodies

[@goodboyringo9716]

What are the gearing on this bike ? Neutral up and all gears down?

[@tomfresh9478]

You are correct

[@larrywilliams5617]

Do you still have it and is it for sale

[@Sertao2013]

My dad payed 300 dollars for this bike new for me when I was 11 . in 1972 .

[@franckpop]

Hello thank's for the video, How much this bike?

[@bourdon845]

Fun

[@shermanpup]

I had brand new one in 72 Killer

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

⬅️me too!✊

[@soggypants]

First bike I ever rode , my brother had 1 and I learned on it . How much Ken $$ ?

[@gondrongsniper3020]

Mantap

[@Davido50]

Ride a wheelie Sr!! Yeaaa so are you asking like $4k for the lil Yamaha!? Nice bike we totally appreciate the expertise but some your prices are friggin nuts man.

[@KaplanCycles]

What we invest in them is ridiculous. Comments like yours are why we stopped taking new clients. Civilians have no idea the work involved and cost to restore a bike. We auction them off so sometimes we lose money or break even

[@robertcallahan7061]

Easily worth $4k in that condition. It's 50 years old yet flawless.

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Saaweeeeeet! I had a new one. check my pic on left! started racing on it when I was 9. I'm 59 now

[@francoismoreira1583]

👌💪🏻🙏

[@Rebecca40111]

I got one mean bike
