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


The ‘81 RM 125 was my favorite. I love the look of that ‘84 RM though.

Very nice! This, and that Husqvarna WR250 from Page 1 are my favorite bikes in this thread so far. Nothing screws up the 80s look like modern pre-printed fancy-font accessorized numbers. This ^^^ is what real world bikes looked like in the 80s.
Thank you for posting.
Thanks, it's definitely a rider. I drool over some of these build threads but I just don't have the patience for it. I enjoy working on it, but then I just want to get it back together and go riding!

^^^Great photo! Where were the other pics taken? Feather river?

Any chance you could send me the largest size version of that pic? I'd love to color correct and make a couple minor tweeks.

I have had a sneaking suspicion up unto now that I may be a vintage bike lover (I grew up racing in the 90's but secretly think 80's and earlier models are sick) After seeing everyone's posts I know I love the old bikes. Diego Kawi Lover your KX125 is a thing of beauty.

Love the Cagiva’s and have been looking for a good 125 & 250 like your for years. The Sinisalo gear is on point, love it!

Spectacular lineup, I have a 90 YZ-80, 125 and 250 so I guess I will need to work on getting the 490 at some point. Nice collection, very cool!

Old pic, not the best looking (either of us), not the fastest, but very easy to go very fast on. 1980 RM400T. I won a lot of Int/Exp races on that bike.

Since I'm on a roll... My '89. I've never gone faster on an open two stroke than this one. It wasn't easy though. Haha
