Description

-Local sale, 722 miles, VA title, runs fine, clear provenance, not restored, original paperwork. $4200. This enduro was purchased at the Post Exchange at the Navel base in Sasebo Japan in late 1973 by a USN hard hat diver Commander for his wife. His wife was never fond of her 175 but managed to ride it about 650 miles. In 1976 the commander returned stateside to California, then Illinois in 1980 and finally to Virginia in 1983. This motorcycle was stored in his heated garage from 1983 until late 2021. I asked to purchase the motorcycle in 2018 as the commander was in a wheelchair. He declined. In 2021 he passed away and I purchased the motorcycle. The tank had some rust so it was cleaned and coated. The original battery, petcock, tires, tubes and rim strips were replaced. Engine and injection oil are fresh. The bike is entirely original with the exception of the items mentioned. In fall 2026 I had Urban East Cycles set the timing and go over the bike completely including verification that the oil pump and all lights functioned. The bike starts and runs fine. There are a few nicks but the 53 year old bike is in remarkable condition with almost no wear on the original footpegs, brakes, sprockets, chain and other parts. I am pretty sure the bike has never seen an unpaved road. The bike comes with the original purchase receipt, warranty hangtag, brochures and other supporting documents. The current mileage is just over 722 miles. I ride to the library every week or two. I have many spare parts and specialty tools that can be negotiated. I am asking $4200. Clean Virginia title. -serious buyers only
