I had this same bike back in 1972-1975. I'm almost 70 years old now, and without a doubt, this was the most fun recreational sports activity I have ever done. I took this bike everywhere. I used it to ride to work. I went off-roading with it. it could do everything and was relatively easy to work on. I wish I had it now. good memories.
These are badass little bikes. Each one I've seen starts on the first kick. I'm getting one today on a trade for an old Dodge Dakota. I believe I'm getting the better deal.
My dad found one at a scrap yard. He bought it for the weight of the metal, he brang it home and told me it's mine if I can get it running. All I did was clean the carb out and bam it ran like a champ!
that bike will handle the aunbeleaveable amount of stress to the suspension i know i had one and i use to jump it my favorite jump i hit the ramp about 65 and i was over telephone poll high when i umped it but that bike was a very good bike superbike al around and that one is nice

I just bought a 75 175 the green and black tank. Complete with title and owners manual and it’s super clean, $800 feel like I made out well.

My main bike for about 2 years, jumped 70 feet ramp to ground on it, then moved on to a cr250, bultaco 360, tm400, cz 250........
I BELIEVE BACK IN 1974 THIS BIKE SOLD BRAND NEW FOR AROUND $ 1,975
if only it had an original sale price of 1,974. *-)
Money well spent. Look how long they last.
We had that exact model when I was growing up. Same color. Awesome to see this vid.

What are those chains for?
Mr Mark they keep the shifter and rear brake from being broken off
@@glennbrooks3615 no, they keep brush from wedging in that space, so they're brush guards.
