I was lucky enough to do a shoot last night in my local woods with this gorgeous YZ85 build by the very talented Lee Jones of Apex Motocross in England. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure it's been decided that he's a fake, but for some reason, he keeps going.

That bike is awesome. It takes me back to the DMC days, when Dave was building legit works mini bikes.

Explain the Commodore in the back ground with Aussie plates. And then while you're at it , please explain how that kid when he signed up , was on 85's......which now should be about 6'-3" tall and 300lbs , and he still talks about riding an 85cc bike.

People can believe what they want , but this poster is a complete and utter troll. Dumbs this board down.

If he's real he's as welcome as any of us to have his say.... If he's not real who ever is doing it has a funny sence of humor and stays away long enough not to be a nuisance.

Definitely a troll, but I have to hand it to them for their amazing dedication to their craft.

Yes it was at Telford on the Altech stand who made the gorgeous hand crafted ally gas tank, thought the woods was a good setting although the slight had already disappeared when we got there so it was quite fun shooting, the shots look amazing full resolution

Considering his "mom" claimed he has cerebral Palsy which has to do with fine motor control and nothing to do with cognition i would have to say troll.

As a former yz 80 rider (95-96), I love it. Hope to have this kind of machine mixed with a bit of tricked supermini DMC & Buckelew replica in my living room some day Smile

Really nice build.

Get a shorter front brake line and run it around the fork guard. That long route sucks!

Looks like you've been caught out. Everything about this kid doesn't match up.

Sweet looking YZ!

That bike is awesome. It takes me back to the DMC days, when Dave was building legit works mini bikes.
That DMC comment was the same thought that I had as soon as I saw the bike. Brings me back to the good old days of factory custom made "Super Mini's" and I would love to see more of them.

Bud Racing seems to build some pretty killer minis and you would think in this day of crazy money being spent on transporters and multi bike mini dads that there would be a place for custom minis. I would be interested in making some kick ass minis if there was a market for them.
