This week's Classic Steel is on the awesome 1996 Yamaha YZ125!

1996 Is classic? I am starting to feel really old. I remember MC and Windham throwing great whips on the 1996 YZ bikes.

MC throwing whips on the 1996 YZ's? I'd love to see that video!!!

Sorry, that was more toward 2000 wasn't it? Sorry. He was still on Honda then. CRS sneaking in.

That bike brought me back to Moto after a 4 year hiatus back in 97.. I was like damn, bikes have changed, this thing is awesome !!

Windham even had the matching helmet

Good read tblazier finally one on my bike always look forward to classic steel. Did the magazines back in the day add a tooth to the rear?

That bike was awesome! I wanted one so bad coming off 80's.

I bought a new one and didn't even start it , pulled the motor and sent it the RPM and did the 167 kit. Most fun bike I ever owned.

Had one and loved it.

That was my first bike coming off of the minis. I remember how easy of a bike it was to ride, even though I broke wrist during practice for my first 125 race.

Fond memories of that bike though.
