This was a great mix between a 125 and 250. These bikes were meant to be light like a 125 but with power characteristics more of a 250. At the time, the PE 175 was the most technologically advanced. It still had twin shocks until 1982, but regardless the bike outhandled the Yamaha IT 175 with it’s “Yamahop” rear suspension known to mysteriously kick out over roots and large bumps.
