how is the power compared to a 175?

Est-ce que vous etes aller dans un run Dakotas en 1980 a Amberieu. On a pas pu y aller mais alors au moins un de ces chops, que tu conduisez y etait. On l'a en photo.

Lovely bike sir.

If you only had to ride it on the road would you change the tires so road tyres? Or are the "knobbly" ones still safe in the wet? Thanks

Ah yea, Dick Mann's creation: The Yankee Z! Had one in the mid-70's, what a torque monster!

How long rear shockbreaker?

Lovely ❤

Très belle petite bécane polyvalente

extra moteur coupleux

What a beauty! Love the sound!

Great bike. In the mid 1980's, I got a 1979 MX 100. I had so many cool adventures on it. The 250 looks fun.

Der letzte Rotz - absolut ungeeignet für Gelände

The road at 04:00 is incredible - it must be terrifying downhill.

I’m jealous of your riding area. I own a 1979 Yamaha dt250f. I try to ride it as often as possible

Awesome… It reminds me my 18!!!!… I sold it 30 years ago… and as the 2nd perfect bike (1st Ninety Scrambler) …. I’m thinking building one with few aspects I didn’t think back then… This bike sounds so familiar to me… incredible

I looked at a used 71 360 in 72 when I was 17 years old but I bought the silver 72 model instead. I found a 71 360 about 10 years ago and bought it. Love the black tank with red stripes.

Excellent video on this 1975 DT400 of yours!..Yamaha puts out an excellent dirt bike, and has for years. I was given a 1977 DT400 , first year of the Monoshock on the 400 size. Im in the process of restoring it to original..its in the Brick Red color. I'd say it hasn't been started in 20 years, maybe longer. I grew up on Yamaha 2 strokes..they get in your blood, you might say. I had a 75' DT360 and rode it back in the early 80s. Great bike also..They're ALL great bikes.. Again,...Excellent video you have here..Thank you, I enjoyed it!

Great video of a great bike. Thank you...

I had the 1978…bumblebee yellow and black. Had monoshock rear suspension at that point. This brings back memories 👍

I am a Yamaha Man....Jesus won't allow me to have any other make....true..lol

I love those old bikes. But, in case of the KE125, it was a design fail from Kawasaki. Rotary intake is worth for peak power at hogh rpm competition and not for low rpm trail. Better here would be a reed valve version. But hey, it got sold. :-)

Yo tengo una m74 muy buena moto

Fantastic video loved it. I just got done restoring a 1979 KE 250 and looking at a 1978 KL250 next.

It's also a 6 speed 😊 I have 2

You sir have some balls kicking that over with sandals. My dad told me a story about his yankee. One time it bit back and ripped his brand new boots from the heel all the way up. The kick start had a nice curve perfect for a decent bite.

Got one for sale Winnipeg mb. Hit me up. Not as nice as this one but not far off.

Does it damage a 2 stroke engine to shut the fuel off and run it til it stops running?

Guy I worked with, we both drove semi's between the Mississippi River at Davenport, Iowa to Chicago 5 days a week, He rode his Honda 750 4 - cam most days to work, I'd had a couple Honda's as a kid, 50-Z Mini-Trail and a Scrambler 70, my BIGGEST mystake was getting the 1972 Harley 125 RAPIDO, I spent more having Roger Reiman, yes, the Daytona 200 multi-time winner rebuild it TWICE after it blew up, but I got $200 cash and it was taken away from my sight. Then years later this OSSA 250 SIX DAY REPLICA drops in my lap, it hadn't been run in years but I had it running an hour or two after getting it home. It was GREAT for Sunday rides, mix some Yama-Lube with some 100+ leaded race gas and it ran like a striped APE. It ALWAYS got me home. The wiring on the OSSA had seen better days, but it was almost legal. The magnets in the MOTOPLAT ignition were getting weak, it was getting fussy about starting. I gave it to another co-worker who last I knew was riding a brand new KTM, I suspect my Ossa is setting in his old chicken house with a dozen other bikes that don't run! It's CRAZY, I've seen nicely restored low mile 250 SDR's advertised for $8000, yes, EIGHT Thousand Dollars. It's getting hard to find the YAMA-LUBE R I mixed with the 100+ leaded race gas to keep my 250 SDR running, Maybe I should look for a Honda 4-stroke, but I know I'll soon find it boring and trade it. I had a Yamaha RD-350 when I graduated college and started dating my wife, it started slipping out of gear, I didn't know ANYBODY that could fix it, I knew I could probably split the cases and maybe find the new parts it needed but doubted I'd ever get it shifting right so I gave it to my cousin with 4 sons. It's probably squeezed into a corner of one of his machine sheds. I seem to remember paying $600 for it, and I put a couple thousand miles on it. Sad twist of fate but about 6-8 years later I was working at a company that had 4-5 factory trained bike mechanics that worked on ALL brands of Japanese bikes, any one of them could have fixed it. Yep, would be nice to have a YANKEE 500 or a 250 SDR. I seem to remember giving the owner of the Ossa $100 cash for the SDR. Things like the fiberglass front fender were replaced with Preston Petty unbreakable plastic, but the fiberglass gas tank was starting to leak, THAT was going to be tough to replace. Everything the Cycle Magazine article said needed fixed had been fixed, and there was a multi-brand dealer about 40 miles away that carried a few parts, and Barnett Clutches sent me a complete set of new clutch plates to install when I replaced the worn primary chain. The over-size 4.50x18 rear knobby was replaced with a Chen Sing 4.00x18 to clear the drive chain. The seat was even in decent shape. Maybe someday I stumble into another SDR.

👍 Had this in the 70s. Same colour. Pure nostalgia!

Porque nadie sabe como se ponen en marcha las ossa sous muy muy muy malos tio

E dessa que eu quero comprar

Another amazing 2-stroke video + Middle Ages history. Sorry I missed it initially.

Awsome so clutch ajusting how you do with that it's tuff.

パワーは無いけど…何でも出来るバイクだったね

Don't see these every day. I remember when they were a real deal.

Sounds amazing!🤠👍

The bike I learned on when I was a kid !!

Ok Micou, mauvaise idée donc ! Mon frangin avait un décompresseur sur sa 175 TY mais pas pour le démarrage en effet. Les 4 joints de culasse suffisent bien pour faciliter le démarrage, le plus étant l'ennemi du bien...

Salut, en plus des 4 joints de culasse et d'un bon réglage de l'avance, installer un décompresseur de TY en place de la deuxième bougie pourrait-il faciliter le démarrage, le décompresseur d'origine n'étant pas très efficace ? jeff

Lovely bike!😍

Bonjour Micou, de toutes vos 125 quel est votre Moto préféré la Kawasaki ?

Lovely shape and lines.

Bonjour oui la 125 dtmx est une super moto d enduro pour débutant et autre. J ai possédé deux de ces bécanes. et franchement pas déçu. la premiere un modèle 1978 et une seconde modèle 1981 avec kit 175 Gaston rayer. Première année de commercialisable mai 1977 en deux coloris. Orange jaune et rouge et la seconde bleu et noir.

Super fun to ride road mine in vintage motocross had dick man sign one off my tanks

My first bike was a white tanked 1969 At1 MX. 14 years old, bought with paper route money. $325 cash money, happy 14 year old in 1970

J ai restoré la mienne at2e avec demarreur ...je la regrette quelle époque ❤

Where are those places? What's name of this part of France?

J'adore votre vidéo et votre belle moto. j'en ai une également de 1977. Pouvez-vous me donner le nbre de dents du pignon et de la couronne d'origine, svp? Merci, Christophe

Had one new in '78, loads of power, shaky handling. Everybody that rode it crashed it. Had some white knuckle moments trying to keep up with my brothers GS-750 on full knobbies.
