It's amazing what a restored XR75 is going for today. Had lots of fun riding one around the farm growing up.

I had the predacessor, a SL-70. Bright red. First bike I ever raced. 1st place, still got the trophy. Second place went to a Yammie Mini-Enduro. Good memories.

I had the 1975 XR75 grey one. One time we were completley out of gas, drained the lawnmower, buddies lawnmower everything we could find, still a couple hours until dad gets home. We spotted a can of lacquer thinner in the garage and thought, kinda smells like gas dump it in. It never went so fast, for about 3 blocks. Kids.

I'm not from that era but I do appreciate the Vintage.

Billy Liles has been doing alot of Vintage mx races this year and is having a ball doing them.

Honda could re-release it and it would be the best pit bike in the world.
It was my first bike. Still have it. I bet there is over 1000 hours on that bike with 1 rebuild. Because of that bike I have purchased 37 honda motocross bikes and would never consider anything else.
