GOOD COMPRESSION as well !!!
"THESE YAMAHA "ORIGINAL SERIES" 1969 up to 1972 ENDURO's HAVE BEEN RAPIDLY GOING UP EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES" ! ! ! (Please Note a 1974 & later etc YAMAHA 175 ENDURO is worth FAR LESS (IE) a Fraction (I think about HALF of What a 1969 to 1972 YAMAHA ENDURO J.D. POWERS + NADA.com Blue books for !!!
" M/C Enthusiasts Unanimously Agree THE ORIGINAL & Early SERIES (1968-1972) YAMAHA ENDURO's Are the Very BEST & MOST DURABLE + MAINTENCE FREE ...OF ALL of the Original YAMAHA ENDURO Motorcycle's "
Also, " Many Enthusiasts feel that the "ORIGINAL SERIES" YAMAHA 175 CT-1 ENDURO etc. is the Very Most FUN + Trouble Free + Most Reasonable & Easiest to Maintain + By FAR the EASIEST + MOST FUN to Ride" with almost "Perfect Balance" ! a Truly Great All around M/C to Learn & Advance Your Riding Skills on !...& these are BY FAR THE VERY MOST DESIREABLE OF ANY YEARs as compared to the later (1974 & Up 175 ENDURO's ) ! ! ! ! !
PLEASE NOTE: Again, If You have some basic mechanical Skills you can "Make Out Like a BANDIT" with these Wonderful 175cc YAMAHA ENDUROs !
the 1969-1972 YAMAHA CT1 is BY FAR the Most Desirable on ALL of the EARLY YAMAHA CT1 ENDURO' 175s (PLEASE NOTE: SHE IS Hands Down One of the Very BEST & MOST COLLECTABLE & MOST POPULAR VINTAGE ENDUROS that was Ever Made) & I am Letting This Beauty Go for only about "10 Cents on the Dollar" ) ...So YES she has been in relatively Dry Storage for many years (IE) They Need some very basic maintenance clean out the carb etc etc etc (Also, Her inside of Her Gas Tank looks GREAT ! )
I Know someone will ask:
So Again "NO" you will not be able to ride her home & Again YES! she will need some basic relatively minor work before she will be able to return to service again & again these are Very Mechanically Basic & Very Straight forward& Easy to work on...+ Parts are Super reasonable ...
These are as POWERFUL + are VERY QUICK (IE) as Quick as many 250cc Four Stroke Bikes of this Era ( YES ! Lighter + Better Balanced + Quicker than Many if Not MOST 250cc 4 stroke bikes of this Era ! ) (IE) When these came out these YAMAHA 175cc ENDURO's....BERLIEVE IT OR NOT: 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 ONLY (SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS).
