Hi, The first bike I rode was a DT175 and I was 13 years old. That was back in 1977 and that's why I love these videos, they bring back happy memories. I am now on the look out for a nice DT175, 200 or 400. Or a Honda XL 250 or similar. I look forward to your next video. All the best, Adam
Love watching this video, Great Job Micou, thought you were going to go over the cliff, when demonstrating the front brake. Those SL Honda's are great bikes. Beautiful tour of France.
Another great video and lovely little bike, thanks Micou. I always have so many questions for Micou after watching his videos. Like, just how many of these amazing 70's era bikes, does he own! I had the Honda XL125 that was produced just after the SL range. It was orange with black side-covers. Mine had the same stuttering sound in the lower revs that his has. It also had the low front mudguard like Micou's DT250. Looks like I'm from a similar era to some of the commentators here, having acquired my bike license in '77. I've taken over my son's worn-out '05 Yamaha XTZ125 (he prefers riding my F 800GS) and don't plan to ever sell it as it's one of the last few kick-start only/air-cooled, basic bikes around. On the subject of worn-out shocks, my son has wheelied this bike to death but we've never yet had to replace it's fork seals! I've been struggling to get this XTZ's front disk brake to work properly and like you mentioned, the lever feels quite similar to it's clutch lever but, as per the attached video link, I was amazed at how effective it is on gravel roads, as it JUST cannot lock-up, so its like the perfect off-road ABS! th-cam.com/video/q-ZPNJVrg8s/w-d-xo.html
nothing better than a little honda to ride on and off road,
C’est beau la France, surtout quand tu explores les chemins de traverse. Cette SL me remémore mes premières sorties à moto, j’ai eu la même en 1975 !
I will never understand why you have so few subscribers, despite making such great videos! Have a wonderful wintertime! 🤗

Very nice riding and very nice place for running with SL125.
Great video Micou. Can’t wait until spring for new videos from you. Thanks

What a cool little corner of the world to be in with your quirky retro bikes, im truely jealous mate, this looks well fun.
My first motorcycle!!!
I was 16, unforgettable just all good
Thanks for the video
Another enjoyable video! I think my favorite bike so far is a Yamaha DT175!
Great video, beautiful Honda SL ... always wanted the Honda SL 250 / 350 1 cylinder, never had one. Anyway, every blessing over the winter time!
La SL de mes Rêves...Belle époque dans un Paysage magnifique Wrumm 😁✌🏍🏍🏍
Wonderfull bike and landscape. Thank You!
I have restored an XL125K2 ('76), which has the same lousy brakes 😄

Such beautiful country to ride in! My first bike back in 1977 was a 1975 CB125s (disc front brake!) so probably the same engine. Loved that bike!
👍👍👍👍👍
C’est beau les Causses. Surtout quand tu peux faire une balade en SL. Merci d’avoir posté. Tu étais à combien sur l’autoroute ?
Avec le compteur en panne, dur à dire. Environ 80 mais pas à fond, j'étais à 7/8000 tours.
Salut, j'avais la xls , je vois qu'on fréquente les mêmes coins...
