My first real motorcycle was a 1975 Kawasaki 175 F7 Enduro. I bought it from my neighbor in 1978 for 500 bucks and that was a lot of money back in the day. It only had 600 miles on it. Sold new for 850 I think in 1975. I took my motorcycle test on it. I rode it all over hells half acre including lots of off road stuff. It was dead reliable in over 15K miles. I was so skinny back then that it felt like this thing would just fly. Ran an indicated 80 mph wide open on flat ground. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Boy, I sure miss those older 2 strokes.
