Now back to the topic:
80 KX, really unstable & bad position comparing to the YZ or even the old CR.
125 RM 93. I still wonder if the front touched the ground.
Gas Gas 98. That conventional fork was just not dialed in.
Best:
250 YZ 1988
KX 125 1994. 10 seconds a lap faster than on my 80 YZ, from my 3rd lap, including a 33 meters table top. (overjumped 8 meters, oups, and the bike did not even move...)
Anyone alive from riding a CR 125 1998 or CR 250 1999 deserve a medal.
The Shop
It just looked so right for that time period, still looks rather sexy if you ask me.
Worst.........maybe good for the day, but the Yamaha DT1, a death machine.
Built in the Moto Islo ("is slow" LOL) motorcycle factory, Mexico.
Yes it has great lines but after a couple of dates the sex was bad and the personality sucked
Now this is a horrible bike. 1974 CR250M. Overrated at the time. Horrible handling. Not fun to ride. Owners wish they bought the Maico, Bultaco or Husqvarna. Narrow power band. Rear wheel swaps around no matter what you do. Sound like fun huh!
Like to add.....hard to turn. The bike resists turning. Total bummer.
I thought this looked awesome, but when I owned one, it was horrible! Was supposed to be the first 125 that had 40hp, but it really wasn't that fast... All around quality was very poor as well!
1987 YZ80
1990 YZ80
1991 RM80 (the exception)
1990 YZ125
1991 YZ125
1993 YZ125
sigh
This second worst was my 2006 TE 510, great engine but chassis and forks were abysmal
most fun bike 2007 Gas Gas 200 trials bike
Loved it when I had it, because I didn't know any better. Had bad reeds (didn't know) so it fouled the spark plug EVERY time I started it cold. Was a ritual. Start, would die in 5 seconds, change/clean plug, then go ride for 2 hours. Same thing the next day.
Pit Row
my 2003 CR125's.. sooooo fucking slow it wasn't even funny. i actually sold my '03 YZ125 and picked up a ride with a Honda shop that gave me bikes. halfway through the year i wanted to give them back and buy another YZ, they were fucking horrible.
The worst bike i have owned and ridden that i bought new is this piece of shit 2009 KTM 250sxf
It was impossible to keep on the track. constantly broke down and parts were double the jap bike prices. Motor was all top and the suspension was HORRIBLE!!!
That said I really liked all of the suzikis i have owned
1994-1997 RM80's
1997-2001 RM125's
1999-2002 RM250's
The only shop close to my house was a Suzuki only dealer so thats what we ran. Ended up getting sponsered by them for many years and getting my bikes for dealer cost. I guess my opinion could be biased a little though. It was awfully nice to get two brand new bikes every year for the price of one
The worst bikes of the last 10 years are a tie for me. My 01 cr125 is slow as fuck and I've done everything to it. And also had a 2004 rmz 250. I overheated both bikes regularly and I sold the rmz cause I knew it was a ticking time bomb. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with my 01 cr125. Haha
1980 Can Am 125 MX-6
Two broken frames. No low end, no midrange, no top end...really smooth pit cruising power. Changing the air filter required $30.00 worth of tools and 45 min of your life. Great mud bike...oh, the brakes didn't work when they got wet.
I have to agree that gen of KTM250SXF was really nasty. My buddy had a 2006 ver of it. Nasty evil handling machine. It was such a pile of crap!
The S90 when the chain snapped.
The Rat when the ring stuck.
The CZ400 when my pant leg got caught around the kick starter and I fell over "Laugh In" style in the middle of the town Parade.
That same CZ 400 when packed with snow the slide froz wide fuckin open and the brakes were too wet to stop it even with dumping the clutch in 4th gear to attempt a kill only to have that evil possessed rock thrower wheely out of my hands up a side cut throw a mean scrub and roost wildly back at me giving me just one last chance to Karate kick it into submission or at least I thought I had when I wet soaked glove ripped the spark plug wire out of the monster for a kill... but it kept screaming at the top of its lung until finally turning off the petcock and it sickinly ran out of fuel......AHHH!
Geeze... that was just my first 4 bikes and still but 16....now 40 years later and a thousands plus knobbies....better leave it at that.
I thought the monoshock was the future in suspension, man was I wrong
