I moved up to a Suzi RM125c after the SL70, and my god the power.....<br />Still love the SL's though, and a friend is restoring 2 in his shed :-)Mike Scandretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923264294054748743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509981265565102811.post-60088122537936184662011-05-25T04:03:56.950-07:002011-05-25T04:03:56.950-07:00Hello,

It felt huge compared to the Trail 70. I loved that SL-100. Great little off-road playbike. In '73 I got an XL-250. Superb play and trail bike. It was the best 250 dual-purpose bike at that time. In '74, I bought a lightly used '73 Yamaha RT-360 MX. Fast as Hell. Nearly 40 HP. The Yamaha was the most fun of all my off-road bikes. I so loved blasting around on it. Full throttle acceleration was addicting on the 360 MX. Your photo of the Green '72 SL-100 brings back so many wonderful memories. I had turned 14 that year. I so miss those days....<br /><br />AdiosHawk44Gentnoreply@blogger.com
