1974 Honda XR75

More miniature motorcycle than minibike actually, the XR75 was introduced in 1973 and met with instant success, the next step for a generation of kids who had started dirt riding on Mini-Trail 50s. With a manual clutch and five-speed gearbox, making decent horsepower and suspended at both ends, the XR came along just in time for America’s motocross boom. Many took to the track and soon an entire aftermarket industry sprung up around the making of high-performance XRs.

The motorbike offered

The ’74 Honda XR75 on offer here comes from a Southern California collection. Painted in a funky custom ’70s paint job, the bike remains in original mechanical condition, the bike was just checked for basic mechanical condition, including compression, to ready it for sale, but will need recommissioning before returning to regular, reliable use.
