Not really that controversial... But the real beauty of 2 strokes is that they make the ordinary weekend warrior feel like a damn hero. That's what's missing with 4 strokes - the illusion or the hero factor of being more than just 'Joe Blogs' the Plumber etc in the week - to bad-ass with 'special secret skills' even your friends didn't know about on the weekend. It isn't nearly as convincing on a 450. Ass on the back of the seat, screaming the RM 125 in 4th down a straight away makes you feel in that moment like more than...

Back in the early 80’s, my GF and took the bus (too pricey to fly !) from West to East and as well as doing a few laps of Bathurst in a rentacar (too young to hire a brand name car so I had a lovely Sigma Wagon that kicked down to first to get up the mountain !), we travelled to Orange to the home of The Rat. I was expecting something flash, but it was an industrial unit with no showroom like I was expecting. Anyway, Vince was there and he gave me some posters, I bought a...

Aussies will appreciate the return of this much loved old brand. It was the gear to have in the 80s.

It’s taken a while, but my MC350 finally showed up. I put money down on it in May so I’ve had a while to accumulate parts… Here’s the rundown on what all I have to bolt on: Cone Valve forks (will revalve stock shock) X-Trig triple clamps with phds mounts Ti front engine bolt CMT carbon engine hangers Renthal fatbars HM Designs graphics Warp9 rims Akrapovik Slip-on Pro Carbon radiator covers Blue silicone hoses More planned such as chain and sprockets when I settle on gearing, replacing the oil circulation gear (stock is plastic), manual can chain tensioner, and other...

Built this bike up for the World Two stroke race at Glen Helen, but have never actually raced the bike. Front end has been converted to a ktm/husqvarna front end and has Aer forks with Mx lucky tech conversion. Triple clamps were custom made by Emig racing and are the standard offset for the Kx 500. Has Brembo front disc and caliper. steel braided front brake line. Gold Excel rims front and rear. Top end recently rebuilt with two hours on top end. The entire bike was torn down to the frame and a gusset kit was welded to strengthen...

Just finished up with this 94 Doug Henry replica CR125 - uploaded the pics into Bike Checks for those interested in the details! Cool to get a couple of comments and messages from Doug himself with his approval. Has some cool stuff including a NOS original Bills pipe and lots of HRC goodies. https://www.vitalmx.com/community/chuckdavies,15159/setup,92659

Hey Guys, I just wanted to share some pictures with everybody. I bought the bike when I was a teenager, I worked cash under the table at an oil change shop before I was old enough to legally work so that I could buy this. I rode it and raced it for a while, but then sold it because I wanted something newer. All these years later I tracked it down and was able to buy my exact bike back. Here's a few pictures, it was lots of hard work and multi millions (ok, maybe not quite millions, but it...
