Movie Info: Bottoming out a Yamaha DT 175 on a small(ish) motocross jump with a 65kg rider on board. Coming off the 1st table-top the speedo was reading around 60km/h (glancing at it previous lap). Its a great trail/play or even short-distance Adventure mount. Seat height approximately same as a ttr125 or drz125 etc. but with heaps more power and road legality. Front disc brake, very reliable and simple to rebuild engine compared to a 4 stroke. Taking off pillion pegs, helmet lock and a few other bits and pieces and replacing the huge standard indicators with lighter (out of harms way) ones saves around 2.5 kg. I've taken this to places where my road legal DRZ-400 E would have been a total nuisance. I lost the front around that corner on previous lap thats why was so tentative and slow here.
