    When I lived in Ponca City Oklahoma "2003-04ish" I used to flag for Cooper Land in Stillwater once in a while and there was always this older dude in his 40's at the time that had this same exact bike and dude it was so freaking awesome seeing that guy smoke all the new 450's on the track... no one could stay up with him. Just goes to show how badass these bikes still are with the right rider!!!

    Beautiful Vintage MX Bike! I love and highly appreciate how y'all give full disclosure on bikes that you are selling with issues. Honestly is Always the best policy, because word of mouth can make or break a business. I worked in Customer Service my whole life, until I could no longer work.My bikes was everything y'all said it was, and much more. I took it out a few hours ago. 😎❤️

    Beautiful. I thought 76 was first up pipe model. I had one. These didnt have a reed valve. Good addition! These had loose ball steering head bearings. Pain in the butt

    if that is a 1975 it is painted as a 1976 .. as the 1976 was the first all red with a red frame as I bought a 1976 brand new while I was working for my local Honda shop back when those bikes were brand new ....and an original 1975 was gray and silver with a black frame ... my rival at our local Moto track had the 1975 model that the two of us would go handle bar to handle bar lap after lap , gray and black against the red ...it was a hoot to do ! but no matter as you just broke my heart pal as yours has everything I always wanted to do to mine ! that thing you have is priceless as far as I'm concerned ! did you hear that bottom end? NO YOU DID NOT cause its still fresh and tight like it is supposed to be !!!!!! someone zeroed the crank on that one making it quiet fast and powerful not to mention all the go fast goodies ...im crying my eyes out Kaplan are you happy now !

      @donniebaker5984 3 года назад

      by the way did you know that the whole top end of an early CR250R will bolt on the first of the series of the 250 two stroke Honda four wheel Odyssey atv ...learned this while attending Honda school in Milwaukee ..the instructor said now the rider has a 6 foot long rope starter arm after it kicked back on him ... you will wheelie over backwards on to the roll bar of the Odyssey with a full throttle start if you do this mod of bolting on the entire top end of the 1973- 1976 CR250R ....so do it if ever get the chance and have a ripper Honda 250 two stroke Odyssey off road go kart like few people have ever seen ! if you decide you ever what to do this get the last of the first Honda Odysseys made in around 1982 that were all red with a full roll cage
      ..there safer of course but also very badass looking ! ride red and keep the shiny side up

    Having said that, I wonder if there are still Hallman rims available? I want to build an Aberg replica and i might require a set at some stage, yes you can get other brands, but it just causes a disconnect from what the bike really was vs what you expect it to be like today.. So I soldier on

    @danielarney9729 3 года назад

    Different animal compared to the 2stroke throttle response we have today. What kind of intake valve system, and ignition is used? Has it always been reeds, or did they ever use rotary style? Is it magneto and points ignition, or electronic with adj. stator plate with magnetic pick ups?
    Bike is beautiful, as well as the pipe, but wonder what would happen if the air intake, and the pipe changed shape? Probably going to see more mods as popularity in racing them grows.
    I'd rather grab a motocross action with a works modified 1975 bike on the front while stuck food shopping than see another pro's cookie cutter over priced, over engineered modified blah they push today. I'm doa every shootout for past 20 years.
