The IT 175 was the most enjoyable bike I've ever owned but living in Canada and riding the trails had a lot to do with it. It was sure perfect for those old trails though.

It's still hard to beat an open class two stroke in this environment!

A couple of my favorites

That's what real men used to race in GP before the sissy 4 strokes came along

Well damm. This one stumped me. A 2-strokes I've never heard of. Rugged looking mule too. Had to do some googling.

Pretty cool history http://www.bikez.com/brand/index.php?brand=72

and they're still around http://www.izhmoto.ru/eng/planet

Just out of curiosity, How'd you get your hands on it?

eBay, someone had it in the US in a crate brand new; 20 years old (5kms from factory). I went through it and running great. After about a month - 1100 kms! Very nice ride with a certain ease about it. Nice little "dual sport" from birth...

Two strokes are the "classics" and fourstokes are a new trend eh?

Must be a newbie here for sure!

Here is a pic of my project. It's a Chimera, part RZ350, part RGV 250. Think if it as a RZ350 with real tires, suspension and brakes.

This is not my bike,but i do have one in the basement to restore. My grandfather bought me one of these in 1976, its a 1975 Yamaha RS100, had the matching helmet and low miles. Really wanted a Dt model, he really didnt know,i pretty much abused this bike and it just ran and ran. I was looking for some old rms and came across a 1980 rm100 and a 1975 yam rs100 on the same trailer and yet bought both for $250, it was a great day for me.
