That is a '72. I have a '73 250 right now. I bought my first Enduro new in '71 and it was a 175, too. The 175 is a great size for guys that don't weight too much. I had a '73 a couple of years ago. Over the years, I have had a dozen or so Enduros, mostly 360s. But my last 360, a '72 got to be too much for my knee. The 250s are considerable easier to kick. I keep an eye on Marketplace and Craigslist for them. Ever so often one will pop up and if I am in the mood, I will pick it up, fix the problems they always have, ride it a bit and then sell it. The 250 that I have now wouldn't stay running so the guy put it on Marketplace. Nobody was interested in it since it wouldn't run long at a time. Bad points. Looks like they only last 50 years or so.
Kinda like our Mopars, some parts are readily available (some even from Yamaha) while some must be sourced used. Here is a few sites that I like and use.
