I wanted one of these so bad as a kid but my dad got us the xl instead… it was really nice but I just loved the look of the xr’s. I used to sit and drool over the photos of it in the Honda brochure…lol

Amazing. I had the K5, which I think was the 1979 model? At first glance, I was looking at it thinking how old they look now, but then after a few minutes, it brought back all the memories that I had as a kid dreaming of owning one. I worked 5 paper round jobs, 2 in the morning at 3 at night, plus Saturdays cleaning trucks for cash. I started at 10, and had it at 13/14 years old. The bikes of today are great, but they do not capture the imagination of a young kids heart like the good old old XR75. My son has had 3 bikes, and never lifted a finger to get any of them......it's amazing how things have changed. Great job on the restoration.

Valve adjustment needed maybe but sounds more like simple cam chain adjustment could fix rattle noise. Bike Should be quiet and silky smooth idling like a sewing machine if adjusted properly. Just need a flat screwdriver and 10mn socket wrench and ten minutes and chain is properly adjusted. I have an beautiful original 1979 Honda xr80 and it sounds/runs like brand new. It rips! Engine never been into. I take my dog for walks riding it along side him and opening up on fields. Awesome fun.

Handle bars are supposed to be chrome, 1978 had silver hubs and front engine bracket should be Tahitian Red, other than that its almost perfect.

Hi just wondering did you happen to purchase this bike in the mid to late 90"s from a guy in Carrum Downs vic ? We sold it to a bloke that fully restored it and came back a year or so later to show us the bike ! Have a hunch this may have been my first bike i had ... Cheers Dan

Does anybody know a good place for parts for these? My dad gave me one when I was younger and I just found the same exact bike that was given to me the exact bike I use to ride well now it needs a lot of work and I would absolutely love to see it restored so I can give it to my kid one day thanks in advance on helping where to get plastics, stickers, exhaust, wheels

Terrible vavle clatter. The engine looks great from the outside, but is ailing on the inside.
