i am unsure of the exact year.
most likely 1976
i remember them as having Marzocchi suspension
 front and rear.
air cooled Rotax 2 stroke 175cc
my present ride is a 1990 ATK with the
 250 Rotax.  love that engine. i think 175cc
 is the smallest Rotax they made at the time.
just want one
most any condition
have done enough Husqvarnas.
Pentons are out of reach
looking for something new

Rare. You may have more luck in Canada finding one of these.  Great Historic class bike though.
