Yea, not much wider, but longer. The advantage is that the big boys can ride it at the track, where as the little scooters they would have trouble fitting on. I would LOVE a Honda Mini trail, but haven't found a great deal on one yet. The madass will fit in the trailer sideways, but it is easier for me to just throw in the back of my truck. And when I say throw, I mean ride up a ramp.

A size comparison....hmmm maybe I should have shown it against a modern sized car.

Funny!!!

I ended up buying a use MY2000 Yamaha Jog with only 580 miles on it. It was owned by a former Porsche racer that has only used it as a pit bike. It's white and PURPLE...

How could I forget it? Gomer should have bought that bike. He looked right at home on it. I have a picture of him riding it sidesaddle from the same day.

That's a sweet xr75.

Nice. I found the pink metallic Yamaha in a credit union newsletter and got it for $75.

I took that pink Razz to several motocross tracks, and it was a hit everywhere it went. Everybody wanted to ride it, and I eventually sold it to a Pro/A rider in CO.

Nicely done, too. I started restoring a '78 model XR75, but one of my friends talked me out of it halfway through the process.

How far did you go with yours? It looks mint.

Thanks, she looks mint at 10 feet I had painted it red way back in the day to match my 76 CR125, now I wanted it back to original, seat recover, carb rebuild a little Simple Green and I am thrilled at how it looks and runs.
This is what I started with
