Exceptional videos of exceptional bikes by Kaplan Cycles who knows well how to set up the sharpest bikes from back in the day .. !! Thank you Kaplan and staff for making it happen every time. Professionally super well done ..!! Rick ..

so glad I found this channel ! these bikes blow my mind !!

My older brother had that bike in the 1970s! I love the way it sounds!

Just a incredible job Ken and crew. What a machine. 💯👍👍👍👍👍👍. Same here my first bike was a GT80 too. My brother bought the last one from you Ken and I’ve riden it a few times. Just to let the chat know, when you get a motorcycle from Ken you will not be disappointed.

Listen to that thing for sure...what a classic!

God bless all of you at Kaplan Cycles and yes God bless the United States …!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome. I had the 1971 enduro version back in college.

I love that bike, reminds me of my dad's, i had the mini Enduro 1973

😎 whenever I see that it makes me miss my old 1971 Yamaha DT one Enduro 250 The only things I couldn’t find for mine was the stock turn signals but I even had a buddy Seat that is strapped on over the rear fender that came stock oh yeah and I also painted it black because I couldn’t stand the factory color

This is a very nice bike. The first year production was 1970 , I sold mine a few years ago, they are stock with a high metal front fender and the factory expansion chamber. Also the head spark plug holes (2) are configured from front to back which is different from the enduro head cause they are side to side. I still have my 1971 factory mx, run the serial number and it will come up as a genuine factory mx. Yamaha offered a GYT (Genuine Yamaha Tuning) aftermarket kit that you could install but it's only a factory mx if it came from the factory. Also I noticed the two different bikes had different two piece front fender brackets because the triple clamp bolts were in different locations.

My 1st geared motorbike was a DT 175 (mono shock ) was a brilliant bike

Thanks ken, you too god bless!

Sharp looking bike, with a gorgeous paint job!

I had 4 Yamaha DT125R s in 90s , you need one for museum

Wow!!👍❤️that’s like the dad of my JT60 mini enduro!

First year for Yamaha GT80 and GT180 was 1973. My Dad brought one home on my 10th birthday in July 73.

I had a DT1MX I'm pretty sure that my bike had a expansion chamber stock and was loud as hell !!!😀😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺

We had one just like that .called it the beast had a rear sprocket the size of a dinner plate lol.also had a 360 with a black tank with the same stripe cant remember it the 360 stripe was red or white .they both wear not as nice as that bike is .great job guys!!!

I wanna see that quadsport in the background they were so much fun to ride

When I raced them, the 3rd gear would always go bad if I fell on the shifter side..hence, the folding lever. actually got a hole shot my first race!.. very good pull off the line.

Sr. Always dresses for the occasion for each bike year.. Great build.

My Uncle Fred raced a DT1 in Las Vegas in late 60s early 70s.

The ole gyt kit. Back in the late 80's in my early teen's I didn't appreciate the old air cooled bikes of the seventies but I sure do now.

Knocked my teeth out on 1973 DT1 orange beast at 15 years old still miss my bike

wow. beautiful paint job!

Ken..Ken! I know things are hard to put down, but damn. Did you finally put it away!? I can tell you was enjoying that way too much. Good for you! 😂

Just beautiful 😊😊😊😊😊

That was my first bike in the day I was 14 years old

Nice cycle if I had the $ I would buy it in a minute . I would set and look at it more than I would ride it . Definitely would put it in my living room .

excellent

Awesome bike. The only thing that could be better is hearing the strait pipe gyt exhaust, they sound evil and run way harder.

This is if Wolverine retired and owned a motorcycle shop

It isn’t real missing the very rare STINGER EXPANSION CHAMBER. I have a real all original Dt1 250 MX never restored bought brand new in 1970 from Shawmuthills Yamaha in Grand Rapids for $586 bucks

Snowy in NH you guys get any flurries?
