If there were a Minibike Hall of Fame, induction of the Honda XR75 would be a slam-dunk. More miniature motorcycle than minibike actually, the XR75 was introduced in 1973 and met with instant success, the next step for a generation of kids who had started dirt riding on Mini-Trail 50s. With a manual clutch and five-speed gearbox, making decent horsepower and suspended at both ends, the XR came along just in time for America's motocross boom. Many took to the track and soon an entire aftermarket industry sprung up around the making of high-performance XRs. This second-year XR75 remains in stock specification, a rare find today.
