I had this bike as a teenager growing up. It was a dream bike. Faster than anything. Kept up with 350 street bikes and ran forever. Kick starter kept breaking but other than that bulletproof. Many fond memories made.
Spent many hours blasting around the mountains of Missoula Mt on one of these. Back with my best buddy in the mid seventies to 80s. Owned the Moto version also
I'm restoring a 76 175 TNT OR, I've never seen another one. I had this one since i was a kid, it was an old ice racing bike. It was crazy fast, can't wait to get it done and I bet its worth quite a bit too which is cool.
I bought a 250 TNT in high school. Mean machine and street legal. If you could keep the front end down you could blow many bikes away every time. If I remember they made a 125 and 175 also. Jimmy Ellis cleaned house with these babies and yes the double jump. Yes the good old days.
I had a bright orange late 1970s big bore MX5 Qualifier around 1979 and it was a beast of a machine..and uncommon in my area back then so flooded with Japanese 2 stroke bikes..Had a very unique wavy cooling fin design i recall on the cylinder so different it was in many ways to all other machines especially being orange coloured..
Me and a friend of mine had can.ams. I had TNT 175 and he had TNT 250 they were the best enduro bikes of the time we went everywhere on them. Had a dt 250 at the same time rode the TNT 175 a lot more. Kick ass bike.
those can ams were the 2 strokes of my dreams when I was a kid! I envied the power output, abt 37 for that enduro and the absolutely Massive cooling fins that made any other 2 stroke look lame.
Such an amazing bike ! I've lived in eugene Oregon before, and this guy I kinda knew had the same bike i dont know what it is about that bike but the sound of that bike has a different note than the bikes made in japan , when i rode that bike it just wanted to go !
Beautiful bike. I had the 75 MX version when I was racing back in the day. Didn't know the incredible Captain Cobalt was from your neck of the woods. He inspired me to go CanAm and never regretted it. One of my younger brothers also raced the 76 MX2 CanAm while another brother raced a Husky CR250. There were a few Huskies in our group so I got a big Sharpie and wrote Husky Prod on the tip of my front fender. Looks like you're running a pretty good show down there. Hope to make it one day.
I bought a brand new 125 at a Suzuki dealer and the bike was 2 years old they couldn't get rid of it . I think I paid around 800dollars for it back in 78
Higher reving power band a little less torque. Thats the difference in the MX-1 and the TNT. The MX-1 is a lot more fun to ride because of the tuning and power band. The MX1 It was shocking to the system
i have this bike and currently looking for some parts if anyone knows where i may locate please let me know. tail light, 1 signal light, front fender, grips, gasket to start (-;
IS THAT BIKE REALLY SO LOUD THAT IT DROWNS OUT YOUR VOICE WHILE RIDING OR WAS THE MICROPHONE NOT POSITIONED PROPERLY.ALL OTHER VIDEOS YOUR TALKING IS MUCH MORE LEDGIBLE AND LOUDER, CLEARER

I had a ‘75 tnt 250. This video brought back a lot of memories. Tks for sharing
My cousin had a 125 version. It was a kick-ass bike also. It was a very smooth and higher quality than our Japanese bikes.

Me and a friend of mine had can.ams. I had TNT 175 and he had TNT 250 they were the best enduro bikes of the time we went everywhere on them. Had a dt 250 at the same time rode the TNT 175 a lot more. Kick ass bike.
Man that thing sounds crisp 👌🇺🇸✌️
PB Machines damn, it does don’t it
...orgasmic .I would say
As kids my buddy had the 175 and the first monoshock YZ80. That Can-Am would run buddy. Well they both did.
Two bolts on the bottom of the motor, one oil drain, one lets the kick recoil spring unwind !
Rotax engine are great. Atk 250 was rotory valve too in pretty sure. But the 406 was bad and light.
Man, that motor sounds nice and crisp!
What a great machine, I always wanted to get my hands on one these. I guess now is my chance.
Ohhh dude the YZ -250 you’re gonna tip em all but I got a love for that blue skittle

That was one of the most memorable motocross races when Ellis won.
Very nice find
Anything that is can am is the best
Quebec bombardier 🤙 wicked bike
Yeah great sound
I bought a brand new 125 at a Suzuki dealer and the bike was 2 years old they couldn't get rid of it . I think I paid around 800dollars for it back in 78
nice sound like a Yamaha blaster
Love it ... but god dam do you talk a good talk,
Your a born salesman 👍🏼
What did you do with the original grips and chain? Don't throw them out. Let them go with the bike...
That was Graat- next to the truck
It is what it is
Sounds sick
That Can Am reminds me a DT 250 1978
Your insurance rates are outrageous! For me bike insurance is only $100/year for anything up to 750cc. Over 750 is $150.
Blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏 - nothing happens in Gods world by mistake
And the carb goes Bing , monty python would be proud can am info

Fucken great Bikes i liked the 350 Qualifier was an excellent machine

The Jammer
