I had a 1975 version of that same bike when I was 18. I'm from Oklahoma in the U.S. The paint scheme was slightly different. I bought it brand new and it was really a bullet proof, and very beautiful bike. I put a 1 or 2 tooth bigger sprocket on the front and geared it up just a little because I mainly rode mine on the streets and secondary highways. Once, however, I was in the woods and went down a super steep hill and lost control and fell headlong over the handlebars and hit my head on a rock. I was wearing a very cheap helmet and ended up with a concussion. Fun times!
This is a good ol fashioned video of what enduros were made for , my first bike when i was 15 was a 1982, DT125 i felt like the richest person in the world ! This is a Great Video 👍
What a beautiful bike. Where do you get all these fantastic classic bikes? Here in Sweden they are almost impossible to find anymore. Thank you for a great video. Really appreciate that you leave the original sound, and stay away from putting any music in your videos.
Over here in the UK, I have a Swedish 1982 125MX. Imported in 2019. From what I understand quite a lot of European DTs have ended up over here in the last 10 years.
Merci Micou pour cette belle balade aveyronnaise ! Visiblement tu n’as pas été gêné par le trafic …. Quel plaisir ! Belle livrée pour cette DTF identique au DTMX !
I have a 1978 DT250, its not road approved but thats not a issue as im in Canada so we have lots of goverment access roads in the beautiful rocky mountans! I also have a 2004 RM125 with 50-55 hp!
@@ericdrossart2371 Texas has everything. Tall forests in the east, brush and beaches in the south, desert and mountains in the west, prairie grass and big hills in the middle, and flat plains in the panhandle.
Oh really ! Nice i don’t know that !! When you think Texas in France you think first desert … and Colin Edwards, The Texas Tornado ridding a long time for a french team in Moto GP, Tech 3 !
Hello. This part of France is "l'aveyron", between the towns of La Canourgue, Séverac le Chateau and rivière sur Tarn, near Millau. This also on "les Causses" and les gorges du Tarn.
The power is lower on the whole range wit a 125 than compared to the 175. With the 175 cylinder, the torque is more pleasant, particularly at mid range. No need to ride at high revs.
I had the 1978…bumblebee yellow and black. Had monoshock rear suspension at that point. This brings back memories 👍
Classic 2-strokes, castles and amazing French countryside. ALWAYS a treat!
🤗 Day made! Itchy Boots is on hiatus, at least you have a new video up! That bikey looks a treat in every respect!
Beautiful countryside thanks for sharing
I'll be out on my Yamaha xt250 chasing that dream.

Thank you for another wonderful video of your lovely country on another awesome 2-stroke enduro! I live in the USA and have a 1976 DT175 in blue!
👍 Had this in the 70s. Same colour. Pure nostalgia!
That looks absolutely fantastic, the bike, the scenery, the terrain the architecture. Another great video, thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, LOVE these videos!
Merci Micou ! … On a toujours l’impression de rajeunir avec tes vidéos !
Awesome one of my favorite bikes

Bravo !
Great bike and great job.
Love your videos.
Toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos.
I had a new blue/silver/black 1972 AT125, with electric start... I wished I still had it...
Le Causse Méjean, un bon p'tit trail... tes vidéos sont vraiment un régal, merci !
You don't need a400 to have fun! Great video

Micou c’est le roi des petites annonces !
Cool, Micou is back, happy New year ! 😉
La classe comme toujours ! ✌️
Merci Micou ✌!
Awsome!!
Rica joya
Sympa tes pneumatiques. C’est du chinois ? J’en avais mis des ressemblant sur mon xt et j’ai mangé l’arrière en deux deux.
If you only had to ride it on the road would you change the tires so road tyres? Or are the "knobbly" ones still safe in the wet? Thanks
Hello. The 1976 knobby tires where not very safe on the wet. Modern knobby tyres are OK nowadays.
@@micoumeekoo thank you so much! I want this bike buy only for normal roads in the UK. I will get modern ones
What country is this. Nevermind just saw the tag. Looks like a cool place. Never really see French countryside
Soute or France, a department called Aveyron ! Beautiful landscape ….
@@ericdrossart2371 looks a lot like my area in Texas. Geographically at least. Perfect for raising sheep
I thougt it was less mountainous in Texas and more desert . In France you can have a lot of different landscape in a short perimeter

Where are those places? What's name of this part of France?

how is the power compared to a 175?
