With all the new bikes being unveiled I thought it would be cool to find out some of your favorite bikes ever. Mine is the '03 kx 125. Some how I rode better and got the best results on that bike.

87 CR250 felt like magic back then however I doubt they are as good as I remember them to be.

96 yz 250. There was a few bikes I really liked back in the 70s 80s, but I don't think they would compare to a modern bike.

'83 CR250 until Yamaha made the '98 YZ400F. As a four-stroke rider from the '60s and '70s, those were an answer to my prayers!
Modern 4strokes, with good suspension, are the reason I still motocross at age 55+.

Same here ! No one crashes more than I do, and all my Zooks took the beating and kept going. My '97 RM250 was a great bike also.

2005 RM250 - hands down best ever

1980 RM400. I had a lot of really good times on that bike.

Truth is that it's not nearly as good of a bike as my 03 CR250, but the good times had on the old RM were unmatched.

81 RM 80 built by R&D.

I had a 84 RM 125 that had the equivalent of todays kit suspension. That bike fit me like a glove. 84 was the same year that the Suzuki factory 125s were junk but their support bikes were bad ass.

Bill- I have owned several years of CR500s. I called them my "Ditch Witch" cause I always started a moto in 3rd gear.

#3 2002 KX 250
I won the most races on my 02' KX 250, but my favorite was my 84' KX 125. the 125 won the bike shootout that year and had tremendous low end.... for a 125.
My 05' 250 is definitely the fastest I've owned
