Quicker than Many if Not MOST 250cc 4 stroke bikes of this Era ! ) (IE) When these came out these YAMAHA 175cc EANDURO's they were Fast Enough & POWERFUL ENOUGH to be "FREEWAY LEGAL" However, since then (IE) the since 1975 DOT ( Dept. of Traffic ) has changed the ruling to 250cc Minimum displacement for freeway Use. Again ...Please keep in mind these are FAR QUICKER 0-60 MPH) than Many 250cc Four Stroke bikes from this Era.
These are very easy to work on & parts are very reasonable _ & Very Available, I have many Great sources I will share ONLY with the New Buyer (SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS....
