Old MX bikes

[Jimbo]

So, I'm pretty sure the KX420 damaged the rings (maybe the piston) while doing 70mph or so across a field. I'll just have to park it and see if anyone still makes a top end kit for a two year only, thirty year old, oil burner. Ah, the joys of old two strokes. The damn thing was fast as hell on its last couple of rides, lol.

I'll call him this weekend and see if and how much.
He's had the thing since the late 70's, it is in outstanding shape.

My first dirt bike was a 1974 Honda Elsinore 250. I got it for $500 when I was 12.

It looked exactly like this one.

here is what my '88 RM125 looked like:

A friend I used to ride with had one, nice bike. I couldn't find any pics of my kx 125 I had at the time but it looked like this, but with a bitchin el cheapo DG pipe, lol.

the KX. i have been 6' since 7th grade. i did not say i rode it on a track. it was more of a cow-patty cross. i did have to get it rolling to kick it over.

yeah I have to do the hard lean over to kick this one. Thats a lot of bike for a 14yr old, respect or fear, maybe both are necessary, new 4strokes are way faster, just not as hairy, lol.

The KX or the CR? Damn, you were a big 14 year old. I had a kx125 and thought it was big enough, lol.

Thats awesome, I rode a friends old XL and really enjoyed it. I bet its actually nice to ride.

I've never owned a oil burner bigger than a 250, this 420 would never do, as a around the farm bike. All the material is gone out of the can, so between the noise and the power delivery it makes putting around nearly impossible.

It is a blast. I have no issue getting up to 50-55 around the farm before I run out of room. Any kind of jump sucks though.

Not a 2 stroke or motorcross bike... but I put around the farm on a 1982 Yamaha XT250. Has just over 1000 miles on it. It is kind of rough looking though since it sat in an open face barn for years with no protection from the sun. Still a blast to ride.

Looks just like this except no turn signals and taillight broke off thanks to brother in law.

here is what my '88 RM125 looked like:



I remember the first race I ever raced on it was at Mosier Valley, the gate was about to drop and it died on me lol, man, talk about good times.

yea before I got that 250 this kid in the neighborhood had one of these YZ80s that would beat every 125 in our area:



he said it had all sorts of work done to it, and it did, but he finally went down when i got my 250. That thing sure put the fear in me though a few times- good times.
