That's a stunning gem. Beautiful. It sounds a bit similar to the Bombardier Rotax powered single cylinder SkiDoo snowsleds that I've owned. I'd rather have the bike than a snowsled these days
@mikeschlup5279 Yup, the exhaust difference alters the sound a little bit. I don't know if there's a big difference in the mechanics of the motors. Durable motors. Nothing delicate about them
I had a 74 175 I bought from my welding instructor at Lincoln Electric in 77. He'd raced it pro flat track and it came with 2 handmade expansion chambers. It was an exciting ride for sure! Used to kill the 250's in a drag race on grass.
I remember those iconic machines arriving at the dealer, back in the day, but I never noticed that even the kickstand was on the wrong side. Wow. In hindsight, it's only surprising that Bombardier didn't "French" the throttle, clutch, brakes, and gear shift.
From what I remember CanAm had a very strong, fairly flat power curve. Not flat then bang, they pulled hard from the bottom to the limit when tuned properly..
The British army had these early 80s before Armstrong 500 4 popper 🇬🇧🤠, sat on one in Scarborough Baracks Doncaster REME regiment my dad was a corp and his older bro my uncle was Sgt Major,Leonard and Jack Mangham 🤠🇬🇧💪🙏
It must be a full time job for someone sourcing parts for all these bikes. I have been searching for a parts supplier for my AJP PR4. 2017 model. Any suggestions?
Ke NY. I gotyi 2 bikes I gotti dump this week. 74 xlcj right hand shift electric start. 2nd is 1977 xlcR. C a few reverse shift 1 up 3 down. Custom stainless exhaust. Package deal. 15,500.00 for both .
Beautiful bike. My era as a kid.riding around the trails of New Jersey on my Yamaha dt100.a couple guy's had this can am.
Dt100 run 🏃♀️ FOREVER 😅 the world 🌎 famous field bike so awesome 👌
Man, I love the old Can Ams! Great looking bike you have there.
I like that. All your 2 strokes idle perfectly. Thats saying something about your mechanical skills in house
These machines often frighten first time riders with the Torque they pull wheelies easy 😊,beautiful tyres on this baby ❤
Nice! It's hard to believe that bikes like that even exist.
I love the bike,old can-ams. I had a 1979 370 qualifier
Again with the flashbacks. Not sure what gives me more, your videos or those microdots from the 70s.

That's because it is a Bombardier. .

What Can-Am lacked in handling they made up for in the power department. Another beautiful bike, I’d love to go shopping at KC
Couldn't agree more!
I totally forgot those were rotary valve engines. I always like them... Canadian Baloney Cutter!
Great looking bike. There were some fast dual purpose bikes and mx bikes made by Can Am.

Always thought the Can Ams were beautiful bikes!
Wow , I want that!
🐝🏁 Classic Can-Am motocross
I've got a 1975 175 tnt like that, although it's not as pretty. Maybe someday I'll have time to give it the attention it deserves!
I’m convinced there’s a time machine somewhere in that old factory!

What a great old building. Is that an old factory?
Love it they are the best of vintage
