1971 Honda 350 Scrambler. $749.00 including tax. I still have the cancelled check. Rode it on a 13 state trip two years after I bought it. I'm not sure my body could do that now on that bike. 55 MPG Great time. Interesting sidelight.....In 1975 a friend of mine was on a trip we were in Tennessee at a scenic lookout. Two gentlemen pulled in with a couple of strange looking bikes. I went over, chatted them up and asked about their rides. They said they were from Honda and called Goldwings. They said the engine was 1000 CC. I couldn't believe it. I asked about the "thing on the front" and they explained it was the radiator since the bike was liquid cooled. I said, " you mean like a car?" They said yes. When they were leaving I asked them if I could ask what they cost. He said they purchased at the same time and paid $2900.00 each. I thanked them. As they pulled out I said to my friend..." it will be a cold day in hell before I ever pay $2900.00 for a motorcycle?...Famous last words, right?

Yamaha 250 enduro

Hello, your bringing back memory's now, got my first bike as a freshman in High school.

I wanted something I could and did take off road on occasion, it was a Yamaha 250 enduro.

It had the big knobby tires but was street legal, so it was great going to school/ work and for fun.

Thanks for the fond memory's
