Seems like I am not the only one who loves the 80's Hondas! Bring back blue seats!

My 87 is currently in full rebuild, but here's a pic from last year when I first got her.

This is my 1980 YZ 125. Rebuilt frame up, but to race, not show, so mechanically sound, but not perfect looking ?

I've restored and sold a few bikes the last few years. The Husky is the only one I still have.

I'm working on a 1994 Husqvarna 125 right now, it's pretty much the same as a late 80's Husky/Cagiva.

1983 WR 250


1983 KTM MX 250


1987 KX 125


1981 RM 125


1984 RM 125

Just the swinging arm, the tank needed some brackets to be fabricated to fit, and the brake arm needed to be cut down slightly. I love it, best classic race bike I've had.

Do you still have the RM? Those number plates back then were huge. I'm surprised they didn't offer some sort of wind resistance and rob horsepower.

No I do not.

It was a single side Twin Air Airbox.

Mounted the Shock Reservoir on the opposite side and put the Boost Bottle in the Reservoirs original location under the tank.
