85' RC125? I wonder how it would do in the last 125 shoot out with all the brands (2003 or 2004?) I hate to say it, but I think it would finish last. But as a kid, that was the best bike ever, my dream bike!

Oh man, what a beauty! I used to dream about that bike as a young kid. The seat going all the way up to the gas cap, the long radiator on the other side....works of art!

That bike looks like the '85 RC 250. I think all 250 class bikes and sx 250 class used white back grounds.
If that is a 1985 it must be Jonny O's SX bike since he was SX champ in 1984.
I think that is the greatest bike of all time we are just now catching up to it with current tech.

the winking smiling emoticon typically means someone is kidding....and I might as well explain the humor > its funny because most people who are nostalgic about things think they are the best ever, and nothing will ever be better, so its a bit of poking fun at old guys like me who think the 80s are still "it"

An awesome bike for it's time. I wonder what year it was that production 250 two strokes finally equaled it's performance? 1990? 1995?

Yeak, I'm not so much in to the fat chicks, either. Based on what I grew up seeing, there is no reason we aren't all riding sub-200 pound bikes.

The OEM's sold us all a bag of goods.

This is what all champs bikes should look like when they win the title the year before. Enough with the fugly red backgrounds.

I was always a fan of the blue background with yellow #1. Did we see that combo on anything other than a Honda??

thin number makes the bike nice an sleek and gives it a light weight kind of look,fat number looks bulky,almost fat and heavy looking.

Then again... Stewart's #1 here looks pretty damn good too. Again, no red backgrounds makes it look 100x better.

The thin #'s are designed for two strokes.

Of course it would get dead last in an 04 shootout! LOL so funny. i have had works barrels and pipes on my bike before (i know some people) and they dont run that much better than a ported stocker or a PC pipe.

Jeff Ward carried a fat #1 pretty well...





I'd say the fat #1 looked good on Antunez's 80's:



and then... you can barely see this #1:
