Lets see your vintage ride

[byggern]

Here is my 1976 360 WR I have been restoring..

Bike looks good, but isn't that frnt wheel off a 125? The first 125's had those smaller front hubs, I belive?

Thanks, this bike is a WR which mostly use as a cross country bike (like enduros). I race this bike in the SoCal desert back in the day. Also that hub is designed for a speedometer, the motocross bikes had the smaller hubs.

I liked it because of the wide-ratio gearing (WR) for desert racing, most folks like the close-ratio gearing (CR) the motocross bikes over the WR's, they were basically ready to race with a few mods.

Here's my 76 Honda MR250 with 1400mi. Bought it stock and had to redo minor stuff since it sat so long including sealing the tank cause it rusted pin holes through the paint. Made a killer skid plate and put some hand guards on it. Rides like the old days (I'm only 4yrs older than the bike).

Darn sorry for the late reply, that hub came with all the WR's for the use of a speedometer for enduro racing. Also had wiring for lights. I use to race it in the desert back in the say I liked the gearing over the CR.

I don´t know, is a relic...

I want your bike, okay maybe one like yours:smirk:, love the old XT/TT's!

I don´t know, is a relic...

I know if you put many miles on it, it will just become another old bike in great shape. I like to ride my bikes, not sure I want a collector piece, though they are nice to look at.

Where did you find this bike?

[1976tt500]

I have no idea what i would do in a situation like that. Having a bike with zero miles!

I wouldn't ride it. So it would be no real fun, but i wouldn't sell it because i'd want to have it and wouldn't want people to put miles on it... HMMM

Maybe sell to weird museum or yamaha dealer though...
