Description

This 1986 Yamaha DT175 is a raw, engaging little enduro that puts fun ahead of refinement. The lightweight 171cc two-stroke and six-speed box deliver a lively, responsive ride and the kick-started engine gives a mechanical, connected feel on country lanes and around town. Its compact chassis makes it easy to flick into corners and enjoyable for short spirited runs.

Practical and characterful, it’s a low-mileage example with cosmetic wear that suits a sympathetic restoration or regular weekend use. The simple mechanicals mean maintenance is straightforward and parts are widely available, so it’s a great choice for someone seeking classic Yamaha thrills without modern complexity.
