Many of us older guys (started on road 1964) began on small bikes. My first was a Honda 90cc Sport. They have some magic because you have to use every ounce of power and every minuscule skill to get around. Lovely bike man! I can understand your love of her! Thanks for sharing.
I understand what you said about 5 min. riding this. I get my fix from a 1977 Suzuki TS185 & 1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona. If its not smoking its broken.
Use to ride the mountains of western Canada with my dad, his 1976 DT 250 was amazing to hear, smell and ride behind. Its a little worn out now, but made it to the alpine 3years ago. My son has a 75:dt 250 and we ride together in the mountains a few times each year. Still have dads bike, but it's been ridden very hard. Miss you dad!
Soooo hypnotic... Can listen to this all day. Here in India, we still have hordes of RX 100s and RX 135, and occasionally the RD 350 (rajdoot for the indian market), whose riders maintain them in mint condition. Always a thrill to see and hear one zip by. Long live true to the soul vintage 2 strokes.
I started age 10 with a Raleigh Wisp 50cc two stroke moped that cost me £3.50. It was more like a heavy bike with thick wheels. My dad taught me how to fix machinery at a very early age and i set about looking for power. I skimmed the head with wet and dry and a glass jam jar, i took a couple of thou of the barrel top to also raise compression then i set about making an expansion chamber. Other lads with mopeds used to laugh but It was the fastest twist and go in the area way faster than up to the minute brand new two gear mopeds and boy did they have red faces when this old granny mobile thrashed them. I miss the fun i had on that machine. I love your little DT and you have done a good job on the restoration. Take care and as always "Ride Safe".
I know the Feeling, I had to transport My Grandfathers 1978 Yamaha RS100 6 Miles To His New House A Few weeks ago, what a sensation it was, the Nods Of all people on the road riding such an old bike, just bumbling along at 30-40mph it felt amazing, like you he also restored the bike from a rusty frame to a complete 'Ridden Not Hidden' Show bike, it was an awe inspiring experience transporting it the distance, when I arrived I didnt want to get off the bike, in the 15-30 minutes I had gone from not really caring about it to completely falling in love, the feel, the smell it was all amazing, and because of this I now own the bike, I had bought it off him and plan to look after the bike until I can Legally ride a bike Thanks RJ
I don't think I've ever clicked on an RJ video faster than this one; just...these 70's Japanese 2-Stroke Enduros, there's just something about them that I can't get enough of.
I've said it before RJ and I will say it again, this is definitely my favourite bike from your collection and we need more videos of it out in all it's magnificent, perfect glory. That noise is sublime, I've watched this video at least 10 times, just for that beautiful 2t noise as the revs come back down.
Thank you Sir.Thank you very much to made such a beautiful classic old memory Yamaha DT 360 review for us.Finally you gave a re-deep breath to us. Thank you again
This bike is what i owned years ago and it is the best bike i ever owned on and off road! The classic 2 stroke DT is my love! I agree what an amazing bike i`d love too own one again.
Great video. There is something about the simplicity and mechanical purity of some of the older bikes. I love the new and sophisticated ultra powerful bikes as well, but oh the memories of riding the older bikes!
I remember riding the DT`s , they are a special and most satisfying bike to ride . Wish i had another right now :) . Thanks for sharing RoyalJordanian.
I feel ya, baby! I had a Yamaha 60 red JT-1. There's something about revisiting the pleasures of our youth decades later that's like reconnecting viscerally with those great feelings; the joy, pleasure, happiness. For a friend of mine, it's surfing. For me it's motorcycles. Especially the JT-1 and the Harley Sprint (Aermacchi) 250. I actually get the same nostalgia when I test rode a Ducati Scrambler. The size, look, sound, smell. AHHHHHHH!
Brought back many happy memories - although my first bike was a Yamaha Twin pot 125 - back in 1977 - bought it for $75.00AUD - lasted till 1982 - then sounded like a diesel. Thanks RJ
Old bikes are so cool. I ride a 1976 Yamaha 650 XS, the sound it makes is just so satisfying. And the overall feel and feedback of the bike is amazing; it feels alive. I can provide a nice picture if needed haha!
Oh the memories of the Yamaha 2 stroke. Never owned the DT but was lucky enough to own a '74 125 YZ and then the '75 125 YZ monoshock. Wish I still had them.
Miss that 2 stroke smoke ! A friend had a DT 400 .I was riding and RD 400 and another friend had a KH 400 Which I acquired later before I bought a new RD 350 .Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
It's your special bike. There is always one. I have quite a rare Meteor Minor de luxe from 1959, but my favorite is a 1994 Royal Enfield military bullet from India. Other bikes have always been fun, some better than others, but that hand built bullet named 'Tornado' is a permanent part of me now.
Hi Royal, thank You For this video, Yamaha DT 360 is very good to playing on the road kkkk, . Im Portuguese, i Live in London, and i apreciate you channel, Many Thanks...
its just incredible how Happy it makes me just seeing you enjoy your bikes. thanks rj for yet another great video. p.s for me even the nuda doesn't sound as good as this.
I restored my XT all by myself and know it better than myself. Also you need the right technique! ;) Yea, the XT can kick back if ure unlucky, but if you do it right and kick all the way to the bottom it can't kick back^^
That is the way to do it, my SR 500 is the same. But this is only valid if the stopper plate for the kickstarter is not broken, which unfortunately is often the case.
Did my CBT today, I was rewarded with an RJ video 🙌🏼
Doctorshorts welcome!
almost can smell that lovely oily smoke💨
I love the put-put-put that she makes, a very lovely bike she is

I had a GT 125, just listening brought back fond memories. The smell and sound and still remember the number plate.

you don't have to explain, i fell in love with this bike back in Bangladesh. i was 14 then. i took it out all the time, it was so much fun.

Now Sir, this video explains the Feeling why I ride bikes! Much appreciated!

What a beauty. That sound takes me back 30 years! I love it what a great video and an even more beautiful machine.
You gotta love the "brap" "brap" sound it makes 😍

Absoulutly love the passion you have for the 360😍
That bike is glorious, man. And (obviously because it's part of RJs orchestra) sounds amazing!
(No excuse for 1:35 though... naughty boy! :p)
GwresYnKernow haha its like a child ;)... except its much older than most viewers...
Can't help but smile when you see and hear this wonderful machine. 😉
Thank you RJ for this review.
This motorcycle so beautiful!
A view from the sky is delightful!!!

I learn so much watching you ride
2 stroke bikes are a pleasure to drive I remember riding my friends Yamaha RX100 It felt that good that I can not express my feeling in words. ❤️
This brings back so many memories of being a teenager in Canada in the 70s when we all rode Yamahas.
This bike is what i owned years ago and it is the best bike i ever owned on and off road! The classic 2 stroke DT is my love! I agree what an amazing bike i`d love too own one again.

This 70`s DT means a lot too me too i love them! how i wish i could ride one again! They are so much fun to ride!
YES!! Fresh out of hibernation.... the elusive DT 360. What an awesome bike. Love it!!
I have a 2 stroke motorcycle from 1974 too... And I agree with you, only a 5min ride can change everything :)
For as it feels so good because we appreciate and understand the time she belongs to.
Cant say i've heard a better sounding DT
no kidding....
Wow this video made me so happy. I had a DT it was my first bike back home
Old but gold... RJ, more of this... it would be nice to hear different engines on your channel, with all do respect to other bikes...
The sound of the bike brings back some nostalgia
Love those old school Bikes.... 2 stroke, scary drum brakes, made you feel alive when you rode one....
Brought back many happy memories - although my first bike was a Yamaha Twin pot 125 - back in 1977 - bought it for $75.00AUD - lasted till 1982 - then sounded like a diesel. Thanks RJ
All I hope is that, one day, I can love and appreciate my wife like RJ loves and appreciates motorcycles.
beautiful bit of kit they don't make them like they used to , luv it
old school bike :) the best feeling and pleasure of riding is on old bikes... great job on this one RJ
Old bikes are so cool. I ride a 1976 Yamaha 650 XS, the sound it makes is just so satisfying. And the overall feel and feedback of the bike is amazing; it feels alive. I can provide a nice picture if needed haha!
Oh yes, the sweet sound of the two stroke, what a beautiful bike!!
That's such a lovely bike rj.
And that sound it's from another world!!!
Thanks RJ for presenting us a wonderful machine. big fan of your collection. Salute Sir👍
the engine sounds so well maintained and healthy!
Oh the memories of the Yamaha 2 stroke. Never owned the DT but was lucky enough to own a '74 125 YZ and then the '75 125 YZ monoshock. Wish I still had them.
I have a 1996 Yamaha DT-200, a street legal two stroke, one of the most fun bikes I've ever rode!
Miss that 2 stroke smoke ! A friend had a DT 400 .I was riding and RD 400 and another friend had a KH 400 Which I acquired later before I bought a new RD 350 .Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
That's 2 years i'm subscribed to you channel and that's the first time i see this bike except on your website.
LOVE IT. :D
i adore smaller bikes like these. love your bike rj!
The sound is just amazing!
glad Im not the only one loving classic 2strokes on youtube!
yo soy colombiano y ese sonido me ase recordar biejos tiempos con las dt y calibmatic da tristesa que ya no se ven esos modelos en la actualidad
Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing RJ.
Love it! My second bike was a DT 250 MX 1979. I wold like to own a 70:s DT today.
Now...thats a proper bike...love the petrol filler cap..reminds me of the old hood ornaments on classic cars...thanks for posting RJ :)
I can listen to that motor all day.
It's your special bike. There is always one.
I have quite a rare Meteor Minor de luxe from 1959, but my favorite is a 1994 Royal Enfield military bullet from India. Other bikes have always been fun, some better than others, but that hand built bullet named 'Tornado' is a permanent part of me now.
Hi Royal, thank You For this video, Yamaha DT 360 is very good to playing on the road kkkk, . Im Portuguese, i Live in London, and i apreciate you channel, Many Thanks...
That sound... just beautiful.
I ride my XT500 build in 1981 every day and I can agree :D wonderful motorbikes!
God thats my dream bike I own the 50cc version of it from 1982 and I love it
Yeah.,., here comes the classic. ! way to go RJ
Restoring a green DT360A right now and looking forward to getting it running like yours!
got to love the old 2 strokes, i canny wait till i can get back on my DT400
Beautiful bike and sounds gorgeous! It's getting me giddy just thinking about riding my XT500C :D
What a beautiful bike, great sound just beautiful
beautiful bike and a beautiful sound to it
There is just something about 2 strokes that get's a petrolheads attention everytime.
The DT always reminds me of my Dads 1980 Yamaha XT500 but both are glorious and gorgeous bikes
Nice Video btw RJ !
I have a 1979 dt175 in my dad's back garden. it's the bike I learnt to ride on too
my first motorcycle, 1969 yamaha AT1C 125, loved that bike
We definitely need to see and hear more of Miss DT and her sweet two stroke vocal cords. :)
I totally feel how you feel man. What a beaut...
could listen this video whole day
Hey.... I had the 1986 version with the power valve, it had so much power all the spokes went loose in the back wheel. Toptastic
Now that bike is amazing what a classic!! Great video RJ!!
I have to agree with you RJ. When I ride my 74 DT360, 5 minutes on that bike is worth all the bikes in the world!
Beautiful RJ would love to own/ride a 2stroke one day. Love the channel and I think I learn a new thing every video I watch.cheers and ride safe Jeff
That 2 stroke sounds amazing. That's a real nice bike RJ.
RJ definitely also needs a old 2 stroke trails bike like a Yamaha TY... They're just so classic, exotic and fun to ride :D
very looks clean just keep cleaning stuff and happy days
Looks and sounds great, Just brought my first bike on saturday :)
This is beautiful. I LOVE it
Very Nice bike, RJ !! I understand why you love it.
its just incredible how Happy it makes me just seeing you enjoy your bikes. thanks rj for yet another great video. p.s for me even the nuda doesn't sound as good as this.
It makes a wonderful noise!
she is so beautiful and sounds really good
i could listen to this bike all dayplease ride it more often
what a lovley motorcyckle!
love from sweden!
I love my Yamaha XT 500! :)
Ur DT is gorgeous, too! ;)
GrueneVanilleWaffel don't you have problems with starting the bike?
Not at all. One kick only! ;)
GrueneVanilleWaffel you must be very lucky, my dad used to have one but it was very difficult to kick... like break your leg if you do it wrong.
I restored my XT all by myself and know it better than myself.
Also you need the right technique! ;)
Yea, the XT can kick back if ure unlucky, but if you do it right and kick all the way to the bottom it can't kick back^^
That is the way to do it, my SR 500 is the same. But this is only valid if the stopper plate for the kickstarter is not broken, which unfortunately is often the case.
Oh man that sounds delightful
She sounds incredible
I love how you talk about your bikes RJ, it's like one of your children haha
Nice to see one of your old bikes again :)
Saw an Aprilia RS125 for sale today and sorta want to buy it after seeing this.
Thanks rj, you should do more review of classic old bikes
overtaking on a crossing RJ?? that bike has turned you into a hooligan :)
Incredible sound!
