Irregardless of year, if you could snap your fingers and get any moto bike to appear in your garage. What would it be?

I’d love a mint 2005 Kawasaki KX125…

1974.5  400cc radial Maico.  Can’t tell you how many hours I wasted thinking about owning one of those as a teenager.

        1974 Ossa Phantom. Fast, and beautiful. I’m assuming that a trailer load of cash comes with it, to keep it running !

For practical purposes? A varg. 

To protect from downvotes, for nostalgic purposes, probably either a 1996 CR125 or a 2001. I had a ratted out 96, but my first bike was a 2001 XR80. Having a bike with those clean nostalgic graphics that I could actually moto down on would be cool as hell.

1978 XR75. My first “2 wheeler.” Was my step dads pit bike at Ascott and AMA District 37 desert races.

1973 CR250


I have an 07 CR250 (last year 2 stroke) and a 2023 CRF450 anniversary edition. Having a first year CR250 would be epic.

I have to agree with ML512 on the 2005 Kawasaki. Except I’d get the 250. I was & still am a big fan of Bubba. Still one of the best looking 250 two strokes this day

1991 KX125 still holds a special place in my heart. The bike I wanted but never got.  Went a different route and think I would have been a better rider had I chose the 125 over a 1991 CR250 at that time.

Can't really choose, but I grew up in this era and I had the YZ replica at one point in time.

2001 KX250 - RC Replica

2004 YZ250 - CR Replica

Irregardlessly speaking (and excluding unobtainium factory Hondas), I'll take that one too. So many great motos on that bike. Profresh approved.

Husqvarna CR 125 from 1999 to 2005, sexiest bike around.
