My very first bike was a brand new 1970 Honda SL175. I've been wanting to get a "second" bike, like a lot of you folks, and got to thinking how nice it would be to find another SL like the one I had. So, I thought I would throw it out to all of you folks in case you may know of one that is for sale. Here's a link to what I am looking for. This is also the color I had/want. This one is already sold however---boo hoo. http://www.marblesmotors.com/HondaSL175K01970-3.htmThanks, Paw.

I often think I would like a 74 Yamaha DT360 enduro like I used to have. That was a fun bike on or off the road. Thing had some grunt.

Paw, that's a great looking bike! Good luck on your search, and I hope you find the right one for you soon. I have to say, I love the older Hondas  - I have a 1982 C70 Passport that I am restoring and my (other) pride and joy, a 1987 Honda "Super" Magna. The Super is such an amazing bike - 80hp in a 700cc V4 -

Wow - the green version of the Honda SL175 was my dream bike in 1970. Never owned one though. It was like the first high-set dirt bike - in my world back then. I hope you get lucky on your quest.
Cheers, Richard

Everybody misses their first bike. I hear it every time I go for a ride and stop at a gas station or restaurant.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
