The story of my 1976 Yamaha DT175 trail bike which I owned for a year around 1978 and 1979 including why I choose it, what was good about it, what was bad, how I nearly invented a whole new motorcycle category, a tale of when I pushed it too far and my feelings overall.
Illustrated with photographs from BIKE Magazine, my friend Jeff and Yamaha UK including a digital enhancement created to show what it looked like at the time as no contemporary photos exist.
This true story was written and narrated by Vince, filmed on an iPhone 14 Pro, compiled on an Apple iPad Air 4th Generation, using the Sketchbook App to digitally create an image, with the titles and other overlays created in the Apple Keynote App.
All photographs credited to their source.

Hi Tony, welcome back. I always liked the DT range but never rode a 250. I guess it had much better performance than my 175 and could make at least comfortable motorway speeds, all with not much more weight to throw around. Vince

Hi, thanks for watching my video and your comment. Actually the X7 was introduced in 1979, about a year after I had the Yamaha. I mentioned the X7 in my Honda CB200 video and the fact it may not have reached its advertised top end speed but it certainly was one of the fastest when released. No doubt seemed even faster with the addition of the L plate, although technically slower due to extra drag. If you haven't seen my Honda CB200 video I think you might like it. Vince

I agree. why did I never take a single shot in all the years of ownership? Probably because all I had was a fairly basic camera and had lost the enjoyment from it by then. I tell the story of that Kodak in another video on my channel
