    Yamaha DT1 and Hodaka 100 because these bikes basically started the dirt bike revolution

    Well you gotta have the first YZ water coolers with the radiator up on the front number plate and their safety seat.
    And there seemed to be a big number of the IT200's around in their day, must have been something about those little bikes that the 200EXC seems to have filled now.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    The PE175C and the IT175 should find a spot in there somewhere...I can still hear them fighting it out up in the clouds. Oh and the IT490 for it's killer powerband.

    For 4strokes definately the TT500 and XR500R.

    My old XL250 Motorsport was bullet proof. It leaked oil from every seal, had a leg breaking kickstart, weighed a ton of chrome on it, handled like a pig in dirt, yet took me to school reliably every day, rain or shine, even with a back wheel buckled so badly the bead was coming off, bent bars and a broken clutch lever. Legendary bike.

    As long as your not thinking of the old twin carb (hand grenades) had one of those went well for a while.
