Reminds me so much of my 1982 Kawasaki KE 175 trail rides. I had over ten thousand miles on it when a transitioned to my 92 Suzuki DR 350 that has over thirty one thousand miles of trails on her now. Very similar type trails in Montana. My 82 KLT 250 still soldiers on after forty two years service. Same basic engine seen here. Kawasaki / Suzuki quality is phenomenal. With a little T.L.C. They will trail ride for a lifetime 😊

hello Xtman, thank you for posting this. I am intending on reviving one of these bikes that is the street legal model, and once its running this helped me understand it a LOT. knowing what the bike was designed for, seeing it be used and getting an idea really helped me narrow down exactly how i will use it and where. what a nice machine that will likey outlive us, thank you for keeping yours in good shape! love this bike. fun fact, it made a star appearance in the movie "seven" (1979)!!

Great to see a new video, and it was great! I just got home yesterday from almost a week at my family's place in Colorado. I did not want to leave! That single track in your video looked awesome, I love single track. I did a lot of trail riding last week on single track and also fire roads just southeast of Salida in those mountains. We also did some riding on Rainbow trail just west of Westcliffe, and a bunch of good fire roads in the Wet Mountains east of Westcliffe. Anyway, man I would love to live up there!

mine is a 77 with same tank color and stripe. You are spot -on about it preferring to be on fire roads and not so much the muddy or root filled single tracks. It is a workout! excellent ground clearance and quiet dependable engine though. thanks for the ride on your to compare mine too. video quality was good too. thumbs up

You handled the mud drop eloquently in my opinion. No leg tangle followed by a sideways sack of dirt slap off the earth.

I hate that feeling, going up a hill and your engine coughs and sputters and dies.

I hate that feeling too! I had just passed a Mtn biker laughing at his struggling ass only to find myself dead in the water soon after! I got going before he caught up fortunately.
