Simon46 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Look on the bay 35 miles on the clock since 1977. Woman bought it and left it at the dealership.
Moderator Cynic Posted January 31, 2016 Moderator Posted January 31, 2016 What use is it other than in a museum. Dry seals, hard grease, it would need rebuilding before you rode it away.
Simon46 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 You wouldn't want to ride it. Bubble wrap heated garage etc.
Moderator Airhead Posted January 31, 2016 Moderator Posted January 31, 2016 Why would you want to spend £5g on a DT175 let alone an import !...it's not going to happen is it !, It's just a fishing exercise and what the clock says is what the clock has done 3
KevtheRev Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 For that kind of money I'd be after an IT 490 air cooled ! 1
Tommy10bikes Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Rather have a nice XT500 , i do have a TY50P with only 1 mile on the clock and never registered. I cant use it and its only an ornament but still looks good. TTB 1
blackhat250 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I had two mates [ 1977 THAT WAS] had them TY50P"s , my they were slow, [ legislation] one rode to Aviemore [ 90mls ] on it, I had my DT175C.[ like Nayruff"s ], and at the campsite we saw a DT400B, we thought it was massive, we were all 11 stone then , Happy days,,,,,
Tommy10bikes Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I had one when i was 15 and yes they were slow, slower than slow, still had a charm for me though.
Moderator Cynic Posted February 2, 2016 Moderator Posted February 2, 2016 Cool, I had the DT50m, basically the same bike but without the pedals and mine was a long way from slow. Well for a 50 (possibly cough 60) cc
