I can't tell what size that Husky is - is it a 250? 

Beautiful bike whatever the displacement

I don't know what it is, but I've always wanted one of these Bultaco's, a kid in the area I was growing up had one and I always liked the way they looked, the name and the apparel for that brand

bultaco06smI'd take one of these also

As a 12yr old at the time, I may have been talked into murder for one of these.

Those DMC Kawi's were essentially works mini's. Picked up where DG left off. DMC 125s were super cool too.

I had one of those TM 80’s.  Sold it to the TM guy about 2 years ago.  My buddy bought it new and had tons of spare parts for it.  Pistons, plastic, spare fuel tank, 100cc cylinder and more.  The bike ended up on motocross action cover.

Indian 442


I didn't expect to see an Indian on here but nice choice. I grew up with Indians as my Dad would buy ones not running and fix them up and sell them to buy another one. My first ride with him was when I was about 6 months old on a 1927 Indian Scout. Wish I had a pic.

I wanted a Schwinn Stingray so bad in the late 60s. Never got one. Had to wait until I was 53 to get one. It's all original except the rear tire.

When I was in 6th grade (1969) a guy in my class said he and his brother raced mini bikes. I didn't believe him so I got permission to go home with him one day. He takes me to his bedroom and there it sat. A 1968 Honda Mini Trail KO. He had trophies all over his room. Ever since then I wanted one. 

Then around 2008 I found a clapped out 1968 KO and paid way too much for it but thought I had to have it. Restored it best I could and loved the little bike. I  sold about 8 years ago. Wish I hadn't.

Awesome.  I had one then, and basically lived on it.  They really were that good.

McGrath,s bike & PC,s 1st #1 plate.  My 1st national was 91 Millville. The Peak bikes sounded Soo sick & hitting the square holes on the straight after the start. The bikes had a sharp pop at high rpm. My 1st dream bike was the 87 cr125   11-18-89 on my birthday I bought my dream bike . It had a NSR port job for hill climbs . The bike had a very strong & long mid into ovr rev.

I agree with you, great looking CR250!

I loved too the CR125 '92, the older shape plastics on fluor neon red, only this year.

The magic those Mini-Trails brought to little boys like me amazes me still.

I had a 93 CR250. Best 250 I have ever owned. That motor was amazing.

Ktm 350. I love my 450 too much to give it up, but if I magically came across 12 grand tomorrow I’d for sure pick up a 350 as my number 2 bike.
