I can still remember, being in college and virtually penniless, looking at the Yamaha DT1 ads wishing I had one to go out on the trails. IMHO Yamaha's 1968 DT1 gave the off-road motorcycle industry a giant kickstart.
The rest of the Japanese eventually got on the ball. By 1969 Suzuki had their first TS250, and by 1971 was totally in with their serious off road TS 90, 100, 125, 185, 250, and 400 lineup. Kawasaki had a nice little 90 cc Trail Boss in 1970, and eventually 125, 175, 250, and 350 models Strangely enough Honda didn't have any SERIOUS off road bikes(except slow plodding deer carrying CA100T models) until their XR series came out in 1979. It has been a fantastic ride for those that longed to get out in the woods.

Honda CA175, Honda CD175
Honda threw a curve ball from 1968-1970 on one of their 175cc engined motorcycle models. They looked like a cross between the "Dream" models, and the standard 175. They had flared fenders, and a single carburetor. However, even the Honda Identification Guide 1959-1998 seems to struggle concerning the proper identification for these models

If you are anywhere close to Tampa Florida, you must stop over and see Steve at Tampa Vintage motorcycles. https://tampavm.com/
(813) 215-2988

He has the best for sale collection of for sale bikes you are likely to see in one place. He is mostly Japanese, but covers a lot of hard to find Italian motorcycle and moped gas tanks.. If you want a classic bike, he probably has it. If you stop by tell him David at classicjapanesemotorcycles.com sent you.
