Does anyone else have an old xr75 out there? These bikes are tough and a blast to ride. I've been having this one for just over 30 years!!! It sat for over 20 years in the garage completely neglected but protected from the elements. I just reciently got it running again with new points, coil and fuel petcock. Also did a ring job on it. It runs like new and is looking pretty good after a good cleaning.

Having trouble with the pics. Will upload later... sorry

I've got a beater 77, a KSI Marty Moates replica project (YZ60 mono chassis), and a bunch of 75/80/100 motors. I love the upright little buggers.

Here's my 1976 XR75 I'm working on right now. Giving it that vintage racer look. Motor is the last thing to get rebuilt. Putting in a Powroll 80cc kit and adding a DG repop pipe.

Here is my 1978 xr. It was an xmas gift in 1977. All stock and almost 100% original parts (new tires, rings, exhaust pipe, carbuerator and fuel petcock).

i had one like razzo's for a long time and finally sold it to a kid a couple months ago but it was no were near as nice as his. you gotta love those lil 75s they just take the a$$ whooping and keeping going

nola_fiddy · 03-03-2008, 08:25 PM

Very nice bike. Looks brand new. I am tempted by powroll after market parts as well. Just can't seem to get myself to mess with such an old stocker in good shape. I doubt it has over 200 hours on it. I will most likely track down another xr to do the modfications on. I will most likely look for a 73-75 model. Good luck with your project!!!

That's a beauty! Makes mine look like crap. But then again, daylight makes mine look like crap

Dude, that bike is nice. It looks brand new. Do you ride it much? How do you keep the motor looking so good?

Actually I never ride it, maybe once a year I'll rip it around the neighborhood but mostly It sits in the garage.
My brother is doing a 74 that's absolutly sick...

Here's another old pic. This was taken on xmas day 1977. I just saw the bike for the first time. You can see my old 1972 Z50 Mini Trail in the background. This is the same bike I have today (see pics in this thread).
