I love this video: It shows a true American, who made his way through life a success and is driving around on classic motorcycles with his gun at his belt. Awesome.
Stunning vintage enduro. The beautiful blue paint on the tank, along with the black pinstriping, really make the gorgeous gray paintjob pop. I really like the blue bezel color of the gauges. Jimmy outdid himself with that bike. Please tell Jimmy hello, and I hope he is doing well. He definitely worked his ass off, to make the amazing health transformation that he did!
Helo from Bali, Indonesia. I just get my honda xl350 1974 2 months ago and now still under a maintenance, i just get so excited every time i see this video
Love those. Lotsa power back in the day when I was a kid in the seventies. I was jealous of the guy that owned it but my brother bought an xr 75 for his wife and she couldn't learn to ride so I grew up on it
I had this same bike, only mine was a completely stripped down bike just for vintage motocross racing..supertrapp muffler custom made right side header pipe, Air oil forks,S&W rear shocks , re jetted 1985 XR-350 carburetor, 87 CR-500 bars,custom motocross seat , open intake no air box K&N air filter, D.I.D standard chain with a pro- tec Chain tensioner /roller CR-500 swing arm chain slide. The 1985 rejetted XR carb and the complete custom exhaust really brought the engine to life ! It actually ran really strong and was actually too much power for the 🦕 dinosaur rolling chasiss on it ! sold it after 2nd gear finally decided to go on a permanent vacation 💥🤣
My neighbor at the lake had a 1975 model in Red. This would have been around 1982 or 83. It was a really nice all round utility bike and super reliable. Don't know what ever happened to it.
The color itself is a trip in memory lane I am not a fan I can't live without it even play it at work all day at the bar everybody watching and asking what channel is that old timers seat to eat the tv this high on the wall and everyone is head up watching the tv bikes are addictive for everyone
Had a 73 kawi 175. 2 stroke, my father wouldn't let me get the lime green bighorn, later I bought the yamaha dt green 360, always loved the bighorn though, such memories, remember them well, I think the bighorn was around $1000 if my memory serves me well
Kan you blow my mind with the Honda adoro vintage motorcycles? They look brand spanking new. Absolutely amazing! Great info Ken. Awesome video in Ronnie Kaplan cycles number one New England motorcycles museum Rockville, Connecticut that exhaust looks like a finger pointing ☝️ very neat!
I once traded a 87 rm 125 in a box for a 71 sl 350 witch i road to school in high school when i got my endorsment i always wanted the single cylinder xl
I have an itch to travel to y’all come spring time, I’m the same way about these classic enduros and there is something making me want one. Not this one ,but something along those lines. How much is an asking price for something like that??
You shorten the stroke on these XL350s and they become monsters capable of beating the open class 2-stroke MX racers. Many were put on custom frames to race MX.

Great collection Ken ! Thanks for riding down nostalgia lane!!!☺️

That is the best one I’ve seen. I have a few of these. The exhaust really is unbelievable.
My brother had an identical one, and yes, the exhaust rust out very quickly.... this is a gem 💎
I owned that exact model, in that color, about 1979. It was a lot of fun. Rode it all over the place.
I just think those were the best years I have so many good memories of family members owning these bikes
Ken, I love your channel. I was 15 when that xl 350 came out. It takes me back....

Wow, how great it is. You finally patched the pot holes in your driveway 😂. And the bike is fantastic also. It should stay in the museum
I owned that exact bike. It was my first set of wheels . used it for work, school, everything. I bought mine for $300 in 1985.
Красивый мотоцикл всех вам благ
The sound is so smooth ! I wanted one as a kid ! Of course it was too big and I had no 💰 @8 yrs old. 😢. Nice Gem !!

Work of art , some ones going to be very pleased .
A priceless beauty 😍 unique time capsule 👍
Those are so cool and brings back good ole days!
Gold chain I dont think I like but I could go for!
I would have a hard time deciding between that one or the 69 SL 350 you showed the other day ..better get both of em I guess
Oh my. That is BADASS.

Beautiful, need a Kawi Big Horn now.

Love those 1970s XL Hondas.
great bike, last time I rode one was in 1977, would love to have one or a modern equivalent now, except that there isn't. Honda? ...
These bikes had some decent top end, maybe 80 mph which was impressive then.
Formidable! How do I buy this beauty as I'm based in The UK?

Interested in knowing how much this sold for
Friend of mine has it here in the philippines i converted it from contact point to cdi.
Amazing machine…
Always wanted one

When bikes were built for fun trail rides, not everyone wants to race!
Love it, love it, love it.
nice but i will take a Elsinore 250 any day. the power of a 2 stroke is beyond description.
Beautiful ❤
You could show us your sidearm as well next time Sr.
