You know You sold me on Yamaha being great Enduros....and you've had some gorgeous examples....BUT My heart is right here Ken!! I grew up around this very Bike in the early to mid 70's and seeing this bike brings me back to my childhood BIGTIME!! I am so looking forward to visiting the Museum Ken and purchasing a mid 70's Enduro to put around here at the Jersey Shore!! AWESOME BIKE!!!! ABSOLUTELY KILLER!!!
@@nathancatterlin9604 Do you have it listed anywhere?? I'm not ready right at the moment.... Will probably look thru what Ken has as He has a an AWESOME Shop....and we are only a few hours away....but email me your info....
I had a '74 in Candy Lime green. Started riding it when I was 12, could barely pick it up if I dumped it. Had a lot of good and crazy times on that bike! I tried to locate my original bike with no success. But I have 3 mostly-complete bikes that I want to make into 2 pristine examples of the 1974 model. One in Candy Lime (of course!) and one in Candy Yellow. Those were the only colors available in 1974.
I had one and drove the heck out of it I took it to 7200 Feet I used a Champion Gold spark plug which worked great. Crashed it a couple of times. brand new less than 700 buck with two tie downs.
I have a '75, center of the gas cap is different and mine has a round metal pivot arm for the seat. That strap doesn't seem right especially with that foam on top of the plastic fender.
I read the Kawasaki engineers were complex over the triples in profit and ,they were putting out this and decided to see if this would play out,,but it was ok and was about the same as a Yamaha 250
The rotory valve earlier model had a bunch more lower end touque,,I don't know why they decided to go piston port , I believe Kawasaki engineers were expermiting,,I ll take the rotory valve over that ,,it was sort of dead unless you did some porting work and a expansion chamber
I had that one and also the yellow one back in the day ...They always ran ...weird to see these flawless ones ..Sad that they were never hardly ridden ... My Yamaha 250 was faster but less dependable
