- Check out this classic Honda dual sport! I have had this for nearly 20 years and enjoy taking it out every few weeks to run some gas through it and relive my youth.
Your bike is so clean! Respect you for that
I had the same bike in 1985..Great video. Got mine out of a junk pile..Put fresh gas in ran with it and dumped the clutch in 2nd and it fired right up. Later replaced the broken kick start and drove it for a few years..great bikes! Hang onto that:}
Gorgeous 🏍 bike. Cheers Dean (Monkey Dix Adventures)
Nice video! I'm restoring a 1973 XL175 and was wondering how fast yours went and what gear ratio you are using? Thanks!
Tanner, the bike topped out at 62 mph, was geared pretty short. I no longer have it, so I am not sure of the gearing. It was likely stock ratios. Earlier bikes like your 73 should have a little more power and capable of higher speeds. The last couple years of the XL175 were kinda doggy. The XL185 was supposed to run a lot better, too.
My 1974 Honda XL125 with a 144cc big bore on it tops out at 77, and if there is a tail wind 90. This is with a 42t rear sprocke.
no way even in a blizzard it wont do 90mph. not even close.
awesome video I got a 77 in my yard ex RCMP bike lol I want to rebuild it for a gravel road cruiser out camping or an emergency vehicle if I break down 200km from the nearest house on the logging roads (which sucks I've been stranded for a week before with nothing but a knife and the clothes on my back in -15C there was a cabin nearby I walked to with a couple cans of soup but another means of transport would have brought me home that night)
Sweet little ole bike but im shocked its top speed is 62 ? my 1973 Suzuki TS185 would sream upto 80 mph , but i would cruise at about 55-60mph :) good old times
Maybe it was 67, not 62. I sold this bike back in 2016, so my memory is even foggier. Even when I shot the video, it had been a few years since I had done any top speed runs. I do know the little thing was absolutely screaming, so maybe that top speed was limited by gearing. Good times, indeed. I wish I had not sold it.
Just subscribed. Looking forward to watching your videos. Cheers Dean 🐵👍
Have u ever broke the kik start off? They were bad for that.
May I ask Sir, How much is your insurance rates for it? Here in Canada insurance killed my riding days..Last bike was a 1982 Yamaha 650 Maxim..Can't see one of these being to dear to operate..Likely why I want another endure like this..
I had it insured through a collector vehicle insurer for $100 per year with total loss coverage.
it's that or a Honda foreman 400 but the bikes lighter and leaves room in the box for gear
Do u still own it? If so I was working on mine and I forgot how the exhaust pipe goes into the engine could you send me a couple pictures?
Keaton Weeder did u get yours fixed ?
I've been working on a 78 xl17 the last couple months.
two more pieces to go (silencer and muffler shield) and she'll be ready for summer.
