Dt175 Enduro Appraisal

Yamaha DT175 Enduro Motorcycle

This is a vintage Yamaha DT175 Enduro motorcycle, likely dating from the mid-1970s. The bike features a distinctive blue fuel tank with white '175 Yamaha' graphics and a matching blue side cover labeled 'Enduro 175'. It is powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled two-stroke engine with a high-mounted black expansion chamber exhaust. The physical condition is poor, showing significant neglect and exposure to the elements. Notably, the seat vinyl is completely shredded, exposing the yellow foam padding beneath. There is visible surface rust on the rear dual shocks, frame components, and exhaust pipe. The wheels are spoke-type with knobby off-road tires, and the front fender is a high-mount plastic units in faded white. Elements such as the round chrome rearview mirror and instrument cluster are present but show weathering. The 'Yamaha' brand is clearly stamped on the engine casing. This model represents the classic 70s dual-sport era, designed for both street and trail use. Its current state suggests it would require a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration to be roadworthy or collectible.
