    Wow. Great bikes. I too had the mx 100 and 175, rode the crap out of them everyday. They never gave up. Those were the days.

    My brother got one brand new and he still has it. The entire family rode it and it is IDENTICAL to this one. All original and unmolested. Thats a factory Aluminum gas tank as well....

    The YZ 125 is sweet but the 175 is the hot ticket. One of the coolest bikes ever made.

    I had one in’77. A sleek narrow little bike . It had a VERY narrow power band so you were constantly rowing the shifter. When you were off the pipe it made no power. The last year of the beautiful aluminum tanks with a nice two stage paint job and the only year of those funky air tanks on the front forks. My only mod was a UNI air filter. The stock air box was flimsy and leaked air. I was 5’11” at 137 lbs and this bike was perfect for me. A great bike and I was the only kid on the block with a YZ175. Bought it from a guy that rode it once, it scared him and sold it to me, minty fresh. I drove it until I wore it out. Next owner rode it for two weeks and had to split the case and replace the main bearings.

    Yamaha was way ahead of their time.

    Ahh the memories, these were the bikes I dreamed of owning, instead of getting my older brothers hand me downs.

    Those 175's were interesting engines!

    Less aggressive rake makes these stable at any speed you are willing to go, they were excellent woods / trail / farm / backroads bikes, put many many hours on a YZ 100, and YZ 125 back in the day...

    I loved that bike as a kid! It was a fantasy to me! It was a special era for Yamaha and I'll never forget the looks and the sounds of that time. Just enough silencer!

    Este Modelo expetacular yo vi correr en motocross la modelo 250 con esas pesas en el manurio y me impactada el sonido grave al acelerarla .por el sonido tan power tremenda

    The 76 YZ175 was the bike l've always wanted in those days , an older guy that l later rode with had one & kept it on his front porch , l was the paperboy in town so l rode my 20 in bicycle w/ aphangers to carry my bag of papers past his house every day & l would just stare at it , l was saving my route money to buy my lst dirtbike & as a kid l wanted a motocross bike but dad said l'd hurt myself on one but would agree to let me buy a new leftover 74 Yam DT100A so l just never ended up getting one or any YZ , turned out l was an RM guy & my lst real bike was a 77 RM125B , but l still think of that YZ175 to this day .

    That is one gorgeous vintage motocrosser. I wasn't aware that Yamaha made YZ 175's. I love the vintage black and white block graphics on the gas tank. This bike will sell very quickly.

    Absolutely beautifull when the competition smelt so good

    The lord Jesus Christ and his father rode those bikes back in the ‘70’s…what amazing historic pieces these are!
