This is a nice 1974 XR 75 core bike. It has been in storage for a long time.Engine has great compression.Usually starts on the first and runs great. This bike is fast even with my 210 pound butt on it! It has a New wire harness and I also sent the stator out to be completely refurbished with a brand new condenser, points and pickup coils (see pic). Below I will go into some details about the bike but if you have additional questions feel free to contact me. This is a nice bike as is and can be made even nicer! If you are an XR guy you know this is one of the most collectible years. (I am open to taking a part payment for this bike as long a it does not go beyond 8 weeks. We must discuss this prior to purchase). ** SEE LAST PICTURE - I am including some other parts with the bike Frame (# 1124969) - - - - clean, straight and no repairs Motor (# 1125016) - - - - clean, good compression and usually start first kick. The entire ignition system is new. (PLEASE NOTE: I noticed in one of the pictures there is only one screw holding the point cover on.I do have the other screw and will install it). I also installed a new aftermarket Carb. It runs great with the aftermarket carb but you will also get the original carb as well. Wheels: rear rim chrome is nice, front rim chrome has light pitting (see pic), tires are almost new Body: side panels, fenders and tank were professionally painted base coat/clear coat. No dent in the tank and tank was sealed. There is a scratch on the rear fender but it is behind the frame loop so its not to noticeable. Decals are new and there is a new petcock on the tank as well. Seat: cover & pan are in good shape Muffler: appears to be stock. small dent in rear and neck had a professional repair (see pic). Most of the early XR's don't even have the original pipe SHIPPING: costs and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. I don't mind holding the bike for a while once it is paid for. I realize it takes time to make shipping arrangements and I want to make this a stress free experience for the buyer. I do have a pretty good list of shippers I would be happy to pass on to you. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - I have several Over sea's Shipping services that I can refer you to that will crate and ship to countries like Australia, New Zealand, UK as well as other country's in Europe if you require those services. PAYMENT: Deposit is nonrefundable. Balance payment is due within 7 days of the auction ending. I will accept the balance of payment in the following ways-Bank transfer, cash in person, Bank of America cashiers check or USPS money orders.
This is a good project bike for someone that is mechanically inclined and is looking for a good core bike to build on. Its up to the new owner on how far they want to take it. It ran well when originally purchased but it has been in storage for many years so tank will need to be flushed and carb cleaned, maybe air filter as well. If you are a vintage Honda XR75 fan you know this is the first model year and very difficult to find in decent condition. I will go into detail below but if you have additional questions do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to answer any questions for you. Thank's for looking! *** There is no title for this bike but the new owner will get a Bill of Sale. Bike details:Frame - frame is straight with no crushed tubes and the paint is very nice.Bodywork - front / back fenders have been repainted and it was not a good job. Side panels are in nice shape with no dents or creases but there is a scrape on the ride side panel. Tank bank I am 95% sure is original inside of tank will need to be cleaned out and probably flush the petcock as well. Front number plate is in good shape.Suspension - forks are in nice shape with no leaks but there are a few pits here and there.Shocks work fine and should clean up to look decent.Motor - When I purchased this bike the motor ran fine and shifted as it should. The bike is currently not running because the carb needs to be cleaned and the tank flushed. It will start with the choke on and run for a bit then stall. Kick starter is original and in nice shape. The center case gasket leaks as well.Exhaust - Pipe seems to be original and is in nice condition. The pipes are the hardest part to find for these old XR's Wheels - rims have rust/pitting all over (see picture). You can buy new ones along with spokes if you want to make this bike look beautiful. Tires are new.Seat - seat is in overall very nice shape. .Controls - throttle ,lever's , perch covers, bars , kill switch and Grip's all work.
