MR175
« on: July 29, 2007, 09:18:37 am »
As you can probably tell from my posts over the last few months, I have an unnatural obsession with a piss poor little bike called an MR175!
   If anyone has one (or more ) of these little beasties ,let me know, as I'm thinking of starting a register of sorts.
   So, if you have one ,know of one, saw one, heard of one or know of a bloke who had a mate who heard of a bloke who thought he saw one,let us know!!!

I have a mate in Qld who's into these things. He has at least one concourse resto, another pretty close to that, and a pile of other bits n spares. I'll ask him if he's interested and pass on his details if so.

I had another mate who raced one in enduros in SEQ in the late 70s. I rode it and loved it, what a fun little machine. Pretty average suspension, but it went OK, light as, and steered pretty damn fine.

Doesn't look like you're missing much. :)

         I've still got a box of bits to go through but all I seem to be missing is the original headlight and number plate (light in pic is IT400) and an undamaged side cover (same as CR250 )

Bin a long time since I've seen one of those. Looks like a very practicle bike, specially in heavy going in thick scrub. Looks nice and light, maybe 95KG? You could use it for MX as well as a trip round town on Sunday morning.

have a mr 175 in the shed, still going and been ridden, when i get drunk and stupid. it still has the speedo and tail light and goes pretty strong for a bike 32 years old. there is also one down the road from the farm we own, but it has no lights or speedo. the guy who owns it uses it as a motocrosser. anyway just letting you know there is still some around.
