!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Single cylinder 247cc two smoker with 29hp. No one tail gate you if you tuned the carb rich enough.
They only made 2500 of them. It has top speed on 80mph.
The kick starter is also on the left side, not the right side like most.,

That is a beautiful bike. I got to ride somebody’s Kawasaki 350 bighorn some years back... I have to respect anybody that could thrash a big 2 stroke like that back in the day!

My first bike was my Dad’s 1970 Honda XL500S and I still ride it sometimes. I love that bike

Old dual sports are some of my favorite bikes. I had a Yamaha DT175 for a short while that I got for free that I was really hoping to get running. After spending money on all the wrong parts I determined it wasn’t worth rebuilding and sold it at a loss. I did manage to get it to run but compression was nearly non existent and a new top end was going to cost a fortune (only NOS parts available). Now I’ve got an ‘82 XR200R (another free bike) which I’ve probably spent a little too much on, but this one does run and should be a good reliable machine.
Still though, I’d love to have an old dual shock, metal tank dual sport.

Cool! The left-hand kick is so strange and even more strange to use. I really like the 70's-era bikes.
My first dirt bike was a Can-Am ASE 250. Just like the one above. I’m not sure what they were thinking with the suspension travel. It was sooo tall for a dual-sport. Scared the absolute shit out of me at 14.
