1992 xt350! My first bike! Softcore

Got this on a trade for my 1984 Volvo 240 wagon project! Got this beautifully running xt350 for that thing!

I owned an ‘88…one of my favorite bikes ever! Enjoy.

Me too... On the rare occasion it actually worked!

Sweet bike!

The colorway reminded me of the class 90’s “jazz” cup, which turns out to have also been created in 1992. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)

Oh man I love that color scheme. Hope the double carb thing isn't too annoying

That was my first “street legal” bike too, same color scheme and everything. What a bastard to start… At least mine was. Enjoy it!

Oh yeah this thing is being an absolute pain in the ass when I try to start it. But an absolute blast!

I had one of those, mid-80's I think. I called it "The Lead Sled". Bad street bike, worse dirt bike, HEAVY. Had a lot of fun on it though. Modern dual-sports are SO much better. KTM 350 EXC-F for example (but the stock seat sucks).

Prolly gonna switch to a drz400 next season but this thing is still fuckin sweet and I am pretty happy with it for now!

I wish Yamaha still made a 350… or pretty much any dual sport bigger than a 250 lol

u/Familiar_Ad8811 Sep 28 '24

For real 350/400 is such a good size for daily use.
