Bailey I think, I remember it but didn't see it often.
The DR's were Ok but the Honda's seemed to be better.

On the Honda advert mono in the office was it a XL 250 saying The Wildest Trail Bike to Hit The Streets was that for the red 1979 models , is that ad on youtube any where , who knows more on that ad, I used to love seeing it. Remember I think a cleaning lady had to get out of the way as the bike went down the stairs. :)

I was about 8 years old back then, my cousins boyfriend had a XL185 at the time, we thought it was such a hot bike, now we realise that the kid who was ripping around the street on a YZ80D probably had about the same power at the rear wheel and half the weight..
