Guy Cooper's 1990-

Mike Kiedrowski's 1991-

Steve Lamson's (like his 95 and 96)-

awesome man. I had that gear and my first blue YZ back in 96, I remember idolizing Kdub because we were the same age! I guess his Moto career turned out better.. haha.

Is that the rider helping them work on the bike? Wow times have changed so much over the years.

Cool pics as always FTE, thanks for sharing. Is that Rahier in the top Suzuki decal pic? It looks a little tall for him, maybe Watanabe?
The Suzuki 125s were so trick in the Barnett and Myerscough era.

I don't know why, but Lechien's #224 Yamaha always looked like it was going fast just sitting there on the stand, for some reason. Nothing has ever looked that fast to me.

That is a different bike but thanks for that link none the less.Thanks man.

I though my eye spotted something different, as the bike looks like it has 2 carbs and the cylinder is too off the the side to be a single. That must have been the most wild and expensive works bike ever. I can remember reading an interview with Johnny-O saying that was the sickest bike he had ever rode. That thing must have sounded insane. I wonder who has it or where it is now ? As it would be cool to take a look at.

Nice photos. Don't think that would be Lamson's championship bike. CR125 did not have aluminum frame in 96 (at least not the production bikes).
