contiki Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Hi. Thanks for all the excellent TY info here. I used to ride a Bultaco in some of the local vintage events, but that was 20 years ago. I recently bought a pile of stuff that should yield one fairly complete 250, and tripped over a TY175 last week. One of them will be my new machine. I can't wait to go ride with all the other old guys. Personally, I'm hoping the 175 works out. Although they seem to be pretty popular in Europe, I don't know if i've ever seen another here in the states. It is a cool little machine. If I get a minute tomorrow, I'll post a couple photos. pretty solid bike, although there are a few odd things to sort. I may also have questions to post tomorrow...

lineaway Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 The TY175 is the most popular vintage bike in the states. I would never ride one, but they are a dime a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
