1978 Yamaha DT175

This is a 1978 Yamaha Dt175. It is in extremely good shape compared to all the bikes I've seen around its age. I removed all the lights except the head light and tail light.

Very nice! I've got the exact same bike / same year in blue, and it's also in great condition. It's got 4,000 miles on it now. Had 2,000 on it when I bought it 5 years ago. Finally replaced the back tire from the original OEM tire this summer, and will be ordering a new front tire just because the age of it gives me the heebie-jeebies when going down the road at 70 MPH. I'll try and post a video of it soon. Nice thing about a bike this old is it can be permanently registered as an antique. :)

@oisact Sound good! I sold it though, since I am more into the new CR's right now, and plus some thing in the tranny went.

@thumper444 I beat the living shit out of it, and this is how it ran for me, could idle all day. This one needed a new top end, but I never got to do that before i sold it.
