    My first bike was a used XR75 that I bought with my money from cutting grass. I was eleven years old. I miss the 80's.

    My younger brother had one of these, funist thing I ever rode and I’ve ridden much. If everyone in the world had one the these there’d be no more war or worries. Thanks for sharing. Ciao.

    This exact model was my first bike, I was ten, I have owned lots of bikes but this one was the best bike ever never let me down so much exploring fun, and an absolute pleasure to ride.
    Sounds amazing.

    My first bike was a 1978 Honda XR75. It went from me to my brother, then Service Honda and then it went to Dick Burelson, and he is still riding that bike today from what I understand. Mine had the DG downpipe and it sounded great and you could hear it a very long distance away😇😇😇

    That bike is beautiful especially with that nostalgic pipe. I had a 1984 xr80. Looking back I prefer this 1978

    I had one as a kid back in the early 80s,, mine had a cut off pipe with a little can by my right peg,, it sounded awesome,, best 100 quid I ever spent! I think mine was a 76 bike!

    I knew a kid Loyd who lived a block away with this bike and he used to wheelie dragging his feet just like that. One day he was doin his thing down my street and he looped out....
    Yes.! Even with his feet down and when he let go the bike scraped the back fender bout 10 feet before it fell onto its left side and stopped about a foot away from my sisters brand new car. I’ll never forget my Dads face as he stood raking leaves with his mouth open......... it’s amazing the stupid crap you remember.......

    You guys are just tugging at my heart. I had a XL70 about the same year. Mine was blue. A buddy of mine had a XR 75 about the same year. Man, sure brings back some great memories! Thanks for sharing! GOD BLESS !

    Great little bike would have sold my soul for it as a kid. Ken senior sort of wheelies it like a Sunday afternoon stroll but with a very cool edge on it.😁👍

    Bikes were just so cool back then, now what are we stuck with? Chinese pit bikes, or late models that aren't as good as the old classics. I miss the 80's also.

    These little bikes would definitely fly I had a 1980 xr80 which was the 2nd year after the model changeover the 79 xr 80 kept the same upswept style exhaust with the small pipe coming out of the end to where the 80s had the newer redesigned snake around style up and out to the larger pipe behind the right rear shock I loved all those little bikes I use to love to ride mine in the fields and on the trails in the woods even after dark with a bright moon in the summer was always fun.
