Yamaha dt description

This is a currently running 1975 Yamaha DT 175 which, for me, has be the absolute perfect bike. I bought it from the second owner (who's contact info I still have in case you want it), and had a buddy of mine that works as a motorcycle mechanic (thanks Ryan!) take a look at it to make sure it was sound. If you're a beginner, this is a great starter bike. It is light weight, maneuverable, and all around a really fun bike to ride. If you're experienced, this is a really fun bike to take around the city and even head off-road. It is an Enduro bike, which means that it is meant for streets as well as off-road use.
The bike is a Two Stroke, which basically means it kicks ass. Though the engine may be 175CC, it really has the power somewhere closer to 300CC if you want to ride it that way. It also is Oil-Injected, so you don't have to worry about mixing oil and gas together as you would for some two-stroke bikes. The bike is a kickstart-only bike and starts right up after one or two kicks and it idles just fine. The brakes, front and back, work as well. The headline has a high-beam and low-beam and the lights on the "dash" work just fine. Not only is the paint original, it also comes with the original toolset to fix the bike incase something goes wrong. I also have the manual, spare spark plug, and battery acid as well as a lock for the bike so you can lock it up when you're leaving it on the street for a bit. I know what you're thinking: "This bike is so rad! It's got a killer look to it, a classic American bike. But are there any issues?". A fair question! Currently, the bike has no mirrors or turn signals, but that hasn't been a problem. I just use my hands for signals and turn to make sure I'm safe to switch lanes. The horn doesn't work but I am told it is an easy fix. And that's it! I hope you enjoyed the post and are interested in the bike! I can ride it over to you if you are in SF and want to check it out or you can come here. Totally cool with test rides too. Check out videos of my starting and riding the bike below!
