Description
1977 Honda XR75 Project
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 ’77 Honda XR75 on offer here comes from a Southern California collection. In original condition, the bike was inspected to ready it for sale, and was found to have a bent valve so would need a top end engine rebuild before returning to dessert and offroad fun.
