My AMT 1/25 dirt bike kits arrived yesterday. I might build all 6 and try to replicate a few my dad had like the 360 DT. I was never big enough to ride it, but I was told it was a screamer. Not for the timid.
I would have sprung for the big bore IT but the 175 was within my price range. I was just out of high school. It was still drum brakes and air cooled for me.
I later graduated to this bike. It was the first big ticket item I ever bought. First thing that required a payment book. !t was a brand-new leftover from the previous year. Something like $1,400. Googled photo. I can't believe I never took any pics of my favorite bike. I literally was able to pick this bike up and walk around with it. ?
Coming along nicely Karl! Good to see you are getting back on this one. We had a '71(4-speed, small block) and a '72 (auto, big block) in the family growing up. Both had the van style doors in the rear. Both were 4x4.
2 of the 1/25 AMT Yamaha dirt bike packs. With one, I hope to replicate my dad's '74, DT 175 that I grew up to thoroughly thrash. Probably learned most on this bike.
