I don't own one anymore, but I have owned several '70s 2 stroke enduros, including a '79 DT250F that I bought new. I wish I had one now, not for use off road, but to fix up and ride on the street. I think there should be more 2 strokes on the street. But the problem is there are no parts to keep them going. I had a '79 Yamaha YZ250 with a blown motor that I kept for over 10 years, looking for parts to fix it. found a few parts, but not everything I needed. I was thinking if I could get it going again, I could get into vintage MX. Too old and beat up for that now. They show up on Craigslist once in a while, if anyone knows where to get parts, I'll buy one of them
