I had the DT175MX as a youth, loved it, but always lusted after an IT.

Me too! IT175s weren't around much when I grew up. The IT175 must have seemed awesome in its day. It still handles really well now.

@@Bikes_And_Biscuits They're a race bike after all, the DT's were great fun , the IT must be even better. Never got to ride one , had a couple of YZ's.

I had the DT175MX in blue until two toe rags stole it in Chester and rode it to LLandudno before getting nabbed

Nice bike, sounds pucka. We had a DT180 for racing about as 14/15yr olds in local woods and got shot at a few times with salt by local farmer then a brand new DT50 in 86 (about £800 then), Aged 17 in 1987 an RD 125 ex racer so bloody fast, then i rode an RD 250 dropped handlebars for a month or so illegally to get to work and back at Pinewood Studios when they were making Batman 1989. The good Ol' days. 🤣. Cheers, some memories came back there 👍👍

they did 465cc & 490cc versions that were fantastic machines, the new redesigned reeds block gave them huge amounts of low-down power, more than any other 2T engine back then, 250cc 400cc were also great machines, all the IT bikes were good,

Yes you are right. They are great engines! I'm thinking about buying a IT250 next. Do you know the best year/model to buy?
