Old Enduros

[DC354]

I would love to see what old enduro's you have kickin around! I'm a sucker for 2-strokes, and I am really, sincerely hoping that someone has a Hodaka on this forum!
Here's mine at the lake!

1974 Honda MT125

[Paul Mihalka]

Not mine, but seen a few years ago on decrepit but not abandoned VW camper in Colorado. Some Maico:

here's my 78 dt400 that I fixed up and sold off last year. It was a pretty fun bike now that I look back on it :(

My '73 Yamaha 125. This is the bike I wanted when I was fourteen, way back when. Of course, dad said no. In 2000, when I was forty, I finally got one. My fifteen year-old daughter rides it now.

That was the first bike I ever owned. Bought it in about 1978 with paper route money. Put knobbie tires and a motocross front fender on it and proceeded to try to maim and/or kill myself on it. Good times!

AWESOME! That is a damn good looking bike

Clearly things have progressed down the generations.

Unfortunately I don't own either of these anymore

PE250B with a RM250C exhaust fitted



Purchased new in Dec 1978 and I only sold it about 4 years ago as it had been sitting in my Mothers garage unused since 1980.

My younger brother had a propensity to come home from rides with his bike in this sort of condition.



Forerunner to the PE series. A 1974 TM125 chassis fitted with a similar age TS185 engine. Fully street legal.

Here's my '73 XL250. I'd love to put a MT250 next to it in the garage.

Very cool! I had a 1972 XL250 my self! I regret selling it. I traded it straight up for a 1985 RM250. That was a pretty fun motorcycle as well. Those XL250's are great reliable bikes though! I would ride accross the country on one if I could.

I have one awaiting funds for restoration and it still runs...
I could be convinced to part with it ;)

Nice 360 ~ Had one back in 79. bought it off my neighbor who tweeked it a bit, bored,piped and diconnected the oil injection. Man what a ride. That thing would pull my arms off, that is, when it wasn't rejecting my knee into the bars after trying to start the beast.
Have fun with that one!!

[spikerjack 46]

This was taken in the early 80's of me on my Yamaha 250dt.

Loved it. This got me hooked on trail bikes.






Then I got a DR 400 Suzuki outside the family home.



My latest bike is this..............

[tradex56]

nel 1982 io avevo 26 anni e ho comprato il DR 500 S. Mi costava 3.200.000 lire italiane.
