The TWO (2) Best All-time Dirt Bikes

I'd have a hard time arguing with those.

Chalk another one up for the xr 80.and XR 200.

1. Honda mini trail of course

2. Suzuki RM100 (1976-shocks laid over, down pipe, aluminum tank-you know the one)

3. Favorite bike ever-1978 RM125

4. 2nd fav bike ever-1999 Yamaha 400F-best powerband on a big bike.

5. I cheated, i know-sue me!

1972 kawasaki g5 100 rotary valve. ripped the lights off slapped on a front number plate and a 73 tm125 rear fender. rear knobby, changed a gear, notched out the rotory valve and had many hrs fun on that thing.

second bike 73 tm125 suzuki. if you had it or the silver and red yz125 with the tank straped on it ,you were the shiznitty!!!!

Im a honda dude, but i had a 2002 yz 250f for 4 years and had a hard time getting rid of that bike. I swear i could corner with that thing like bubba. lol

CT70 for sure!!! I had more fun on that sucker than all my other bikes put together.... could be 'cuz it was my first bike...

That was my exact era rupert. I still remember how drastic the step was going from the pw50 to the kx60.

1975 Suzuki TM 75
1982 Suzuki RM 250 (not the 81 or 83)

1987 cr250r best handling 1998 yz400 best engine

1976 YZ 125, PW50

I had a lot of fun on my QA 50 as a kid! haha.

96 kx 100 the bike i had when i began to ride properly

2000 yz 426 blew my mind as it was the first new generation four stroke i rode.

I didn't have a kx60, I started out on a yz50 and when I moved up to kx80's, the kx60 was born. The kx60 didn't seem to change for many years until they introduced the much tricker 65cc version.

The 84 kx80 was trick, it had a front disc brake, was water cooled and had uni track shock. I think that era changed mini bikes forever.

try again (i do get sick of trying to work out what system you upload photos with the various forums)

these two?
guess what shocks is on the pw?

A buddy of mine used to have one of Bubba's old PW50's, unfotunately got burned up in a garage fire....

Agreed, my buddy an XR 200, sunk in a pond, still ran. Somehow got some Kerosene ran through it, still ran. Honda built some tough bikes.

Ditto, I used to woop up on xr75's with that little 2 stroke 50.
See photo to the left.

Ha Ha,. Newark, OH huh. Born and raised Hubbard, OH

In my era when I was young,

1.xr75
2.74 125 Elsinore
3.77-78 RM 125
4.1981 RM 125 Floater

bike I learned on was an XR 100

Measured in rewarding experience / $:
1. PW50 - Buy one of these for a son (or daughter) for Christmas and stand back - its gonna change the next 15 years of your life
2. Hodaka 100B - Perfect bike for everything from teaching how to use a clutch on up
Both stone reliable, low maintenance, and an absolute blast to ride

rupert
My son Joey JB19 didn't mention that he rode both the pw50 and kx60 twice at Loretta Lynn's

XR80 for sure. Bulletproof.

1986 Honda CR125- reliable and fast, handled great. Gold rims.

For Nostalgia:
These got me hooked:
MR-50 - I'd pay big bucks to find this bike
XR-75 - This bike taught me how to work on 4 strokes, I never had to bring it to a shop did it all myself and it ended up being almost a full on JWRP replica....button mag baby!
CR100M (sleeved 125) - This bike scared me!

These got me fast::
YZ100E
YZ250G
RM250X - turned pro on this rocketship.

For Historic Importance:
DT1
CR125
The first Huskys Edison brought over.

my son started riding a few times on the tank when he was months old. then he rode on the tank all the time on a z50 he was like 1 and 2 years old and all he wanted to do was ride around the yard all day on the tank.
at 3 he got a pw50 at 5 he got a cobra cm50 at 6 he got a kx65 at 7 and at 9 he got a kx85 then a kx125 at 12 or 13. he dabbles a little on one of my 05 kx250's

I started riding when i was 9 on a freinds yamaha 60 then my brother got a tm100 i used to ride it when i was 10..I remember getting the speedometer to 30...man that was the funnest the bike was so big it seemed.
then i got a 77 rm80 i rode it all day in my yard...broke the frame every other week and my dad would weld it back
then i got a brand new 83 rm80 that thing was fast and i rode it so much that i would end up having to push start it because its top end was so worn.
then my parents couldnt afford to buy any more bikes so that was that until i got in my 20's..
