Nice! My older brothers friend had the exact same bike remember it well. They would take out the internal baffle on the pipe it appears that that one has been removed also makes it sound badass.
Sounds awesome. Nice looking 360. I always liked the sinister looking black tank. This was a bad a** bike back in the day. When I was 12 my dad had a 1970 RT-1 360 with the yellow stipe on the tank. I had a highly modified 1971 AT-1 125 that seldom ran, so I would end up riding the 360. Lol.
@@Kickback-dm7zt I just redid a 1974 enduro 125 but I can't find a gas tank for it, the one I have needs to have a patch welded to the bottom because it's got a bunch of pin holes
@@anthonym2277 DT 125/AT 125? ....Gas tanks should be easy enough to find.. Maybe the guys at Kaplan can source 1 for you.. What have got to lose? Best of luck with the bike. 🤞🤞🤞
Always find it funny yamaha called these trail /dual sport bikes "enduro" but they wouldn't last 5 minutes in an actual competition Enduro event, especially by todays standards... I'm not slaging the bike off as I LOVE these old Yamahas but they weren't built for racing or competition use. They were road bikes designed for mild off road trail riding and NOT enduro use.
Yeah 50 + years ago really don't expect it to compete with even a 1990 bike. These aren't even reed valve I believe. Enduro races is just a name. Back in the day not everyone was a closed circuit racer. My buddy's and I used to ride from trail to trail all day long and had to stop and ask what town we were in to reference how to get home. We'd ride on the road till we found another trail and hopped on it and hoped you relatively got to an area you knew. Because of guys like me yamaha came out with the IT series of bikes. Street legal Reed valves mono shock and Ported. Not quite as Ported like a YZ but more than a rt/dt. Looking back is always easy but tearing down a perfectly good running motorcycle and porting and jetting it to be better than your buddy's was hard compared to today. We didn't have the interweb to just hop on and watch a TH-cam video on how to do. I have priceless memories riding these bikes but I'd also surprise you being a senior citizen putting up a 200 ft roostertail hole shot on a 75 yamaha SC 500 or even a newer Honda CR500. Been there done that !
@@benkrom2737 what you say is absloutley true.. And to their credit, yamaha in just a few short years into then then future, realised they weren't "enduro" bikes and did something about it by introducing the "" IT" series of actual enduro bikes (which you correctly mentioned). Had a DT 175 MX myself back when I was 16..47 now and miss that bike so much and it was my first bike.
@@benkrom2737 oh so true.. Want another 1..what I will say about these bikes and why they were so popular. 1) affordable 2) reliable 3)idiot proof 4) easy to maintain 5) spare parts were readily available.. You didn't have to go across 2 or 3 different counties or states to a specialist off road dealer to get parts for your completion ktm or husky enduro bike when it breaks down... Which ALL motorcycles do from time to time but if you wanted to win at enduro completions you wouldn't stand a chance on 1 of these unless you HEAVILY modified it which you have ended up costing you a lot of money to the piont that you might aswell have gone out and bought a European completion enduro bike... And that's why yamaha released the "IT" series.. They knew they HAD to
@@Kickback-dm7zt Back in early 70's these bikes were pretty competitive with porting,jetting and making your own expansion chambers. The IT was what the gto was to cars. A factory performance car when gearheads had been making their own performance cars for years. Made it so some college kid could buy one and not even know where the dipstick was in the car. These days you can go to the dealership and buy what you want. It wasn't always that way, you had to build something no one else had. It was so awesome to build a one off that smoked most other bikes and also cars ! Anyways it seems like riding trails from town to town seems more a thing of the past 😳
The GT 50 and 80 would become the DT 50 and 80,The LT 100 would become the DT 100,the AT 125 would become the DT 125,,the CT 175 would become the DT 175,the 250 was always the DT 250 and the RT 370 would become the DT 370....and then later increased to become the DT 400 when yamaha decided to unify its series of trail /dual sport "enduro" bikes with the same prefix.
Gorgeous Vintage Two Stroke!
Allmost as nice as the one you had J.R.🏆
Nothing beats that sound of a old school 2stroke!

I absolutely love this bike, I can't wait to rebuild my dad's. Same bike 👍
I was born in 71 😢
Awesome looking bike And again back when motorcycle manufacturers had their own separate style looks
Yeah, nice bike and definitely no baffle in it. Tuned with no baffle it sounds.
🤘
What I want, but finances are gone.
Hold out.. Alll good things come to those who wait and when the time is right

Definitely don't make them like that anymore
Why were handlebars so wide in the old days?
Bikes were heavier back then !
Where did you find it?.
