[QUOTE="DannyMoto07, post: 1185322, member: 76870"] Ok, ok... let's not turn this into a flame-post for Yammi's... I have a 93' RT180, Yamaha ran them from 93' to 98' and they were pretty solid. The main reason they stopped making them was that the TTR's started gaining popularity, plus... nothing was really interchangable off the RT. Yes, the motor and electronics were adapted from the 70's DT175 and Europe/Mexico actually have DT180's that are identical to the RT180, only they have lights and speedo and are dual-purpose. The RT180 was marketed as a trail bike.. and that's what it is. I think it's plenty strong, really easy to find parts for, the parts are cheap, and it'll go anywhere you want it to. The RT100 was kinda pointless... Drum brakes, short seat height... big minibike. My only quarrel with the RT180 is the rear end. The monoshock rear suspension is soft, barely adjustable, an in-frame design. Due to this the rear-swingarm is HUGE and snags a lot of branches and high grass in the crevices. Kind of a pain. That and the drum brake is pretty much useless unless you have brand new pads in it. But as is... it's solid. I'd love to own another one if I could find one cheap. I dunno like Mox said, maybe racers find these early bikes slow and clumsy, but for us average joe's... they're fun and affordable :) It serves it's purpose :). Dan [/QUOTE]
