Wish Suzuki was still this passionate about MX. Maybe someday. Love the rear fender from this era. Also, the 2025 RMZs come with graphics kits from each decade. The “70s graphics are green for the TM. Pretty cool. Too bad that’s all they’ve done this year.

thank you for sharing. letting one in a couple days

I agree with 99 things he said during this video. But he saying he didn't like when late 1980s they went to blood red. Shhhiiittt!!!! That's the best looking cr blood red plastic 🤘🤘🤘👍💪👏👏

Eu já tive uma 93 e uma 98 e acabei de adquirir uma 96 que pretendo reformar completamente.

Just bought my 5th KDX. First had a 92 which I rebuilt with my dad and then found an 87 and fixed it for my brother. We rode them pretty hard and then I sold them to buy my now wife’s engagement ring. Fast forward a few years and now I have a fully rebuild 94, an 89 parts bike, and just picked up a destroyed but saveable 97. Very excited to dig into my H series and have probably watched this video like 5 times at least.

Bro can you make a video on rare and limited edition 125 bikes

I owned a 1975 Suzuki tm 125 back in 1997. I purchased it restored Riding condition. Purchased it for $450.00 from phil pummel out of bowersville Ohio. He was a former ama motocross rider and he raced over seas on grand prix bikes. He had restored the tm 125 and put a newer rm 250 carburetor on it. I purchased the bike running test ridden in obviously it was wicked. At the time of purchase it came with a full tank of 113 octane premix 🤘 loved and miss that tm. It was wicked and was like a light switch!😯 It was on or off Phil would say. Unfortunately Phil left us late 90s r.i.p. Phil pummel. You were a good guy towards me far as i was concerned.

I like that you consider 450s open bikes... I do as well.

LOTS of fun back in the day as long as you didnt drop your feet!!😂

love your channel and all the information you supply. Here's a suggestion for a future episode, The history of the Honda cr125r.

I really enjoy watching all of your content,i grew up in Maryland riding and racing at alot of the tracks i have heard u mention.we lived about 20 mins up the road from Budds creek,and also raced big berm,antietam,Dunkirk,white Oak,Dylwynn and lake sugar tree to mention a few i have found memories of,we moved to Southern illinois in 1977 but i was able to return to East coast a couple times to visit an did a race at antietam in 1981.i met Jim Oneal's sister when i had to have surgery at a st louis hospital,she was one of my nurses and i was watching a motocross race on tv when she came in my room.she asked me if i ever heard of O'neal racing gear and thats when she told me Jim was her brother,thats my O'neal story tony,lol.i actually wore the Griffs pants from 1979 to 1984,then my boss at The yamaha shop gave me a set of O'neal gear to match the 1985 250 YZ i Was racing,made it thru most of that year untill a first turn pile up ripped a good sized hole on the pant leg,but overall i thought it was decent stuff back then.

Do you have anything on 1998 250 shootout?! I’m trying to find the magazine for it to keep in my shop! I have a 98 KX250 that looks mint

GREAT VIDEO'' THANK YOU'' 👍👊

Loved the video! Very knowledgeable and informative. Was curious what the last year was the dual purpose 250L for US models. I keep seeing conflicting information on that.

02:32 Unknown INSIDE the US market...?

If the reason you’re saying is true about its discontinuation then why did the Yamaha banchee get the go for a few more decades.

I bought one brand new in 81 of course the bike was a rocketship great powerband,all for 8 or 900 buck if my memory serves me.

My daughter has been waiting 6 weeks on a shirt from your store. What’s going on? Are just busy with the holidays?

I had to thank you for this great video! I was 16 in 1982 and I bought a standard model brand-new just for trail riding and loved it like a family member. I could wheelie that thing right through sixth gear and I never had a single issue with it. I miss it to this day 😢 I’ve bought a few basket cases through the years to fix up and ride just for the nostalgia

The RM was the best bike for the average motocross rider out of the box.

Great show and information

love this video. i had the YZ my brother had the RM That RM was so smooth and easy to ride!

Thanks for the upload.

One of the best toys ever, had a 1977 FL250 and beat the hell out of it for years. Only thing that ever broke was the rear axle, snapped it clean off.

The 1981 yz125 was really just as fast and alot of them were sold i had one..but the mono-x sukked compared to the floater..atill alot of people won in 1981 on a yz125..the rm was superior though..green and red bikes were really bad in 1981

Would you mind sharing a pdf copy of the original brochure? I just picked up and 86 250 for restoration (Christmas) with my son and would like any information I can get on it to assist and add to the collection. Thank-you.

I know you are a Honda guy but you should review Suzuki DRZ250 AND DRZ400K. They are superior to any Honda XR and you have done many XRS. Don't forget the WR450F

Sweet big bore❤❤👍💯💪😁🍻

Loved this video. Always wanted one. Nice to have a year by year breakdown for a certain bike. Do more.

1986 YZ 250 would be my ultimate rebuild machine. Si, Christchurch, NZ.

I bought both 1985 and 1988 Kawasaki KX 125's. The 85 had a faster, more powerful engine that kept pulling on top but the suspension, brakes and handling of the '88 was far better than the '85.

I raced my XR400 in b class hare scrambles. Had to race open class, but it did surprisingly well!

Sorry for all the CR lovers,but jeremy said it wasnt good at all ,the frame probably good for nsr's but a failure for mx,honda never recover at 2t after this,no comparison from 96 and back,i v riden a 98 for a season at trails,it was just ok after full sys upgrades 😤 probably the last version was much better,but check what the people ride(jap side)- RM 'S and alu YZ's mostly. for a reason.

I can. Remember when Mr George eth ridge Mr George brought a trailer full of new Honda dirt bikes out to Indian dunes it was 1974 he had a xr 75 a cr 125 and a250 that was a good day I got to give my 1971 mini Enduro a break that day my dad didn't get me a xr 75 he got me a alll sport steen with a hodaka. 100 motor it ate up the yz80. And xr75 for breakfast

Where the banshees. U mentioned tri z its 1st year but done skipped over daddy 2 Years running... I'll never watch another video of your. Ur fake news but just with the history of quads

U seriously skipped the 1st ass.woopin honda even got the 1987 banshee... 😢

I kinda built the first one I guess! Back in the IT days I raced for Yamaha Europe when they pulled the plug on the race team leaving me with a contract but no machines. I worked as a custom frame builder then so they said okay, build something to replace the old monoshock 465 and maybe do something with the 4 strokes. I already raced a 680 comverted XT500 in MX so grabbed an old XT250 engine, built a linkage single shock frame the bored the 250 to 350 using a Suzuki 370 piston and rode it in the British enduro championship. It was a weapon in the woods but the lack of top-end revs was the biggest problem (they were two-valvers), it was fast though, we built it basically as a 125. End of the season it was sent to Japan and I went over to the 490 again.

The 88 rm250 was faster than the 89 and 90, made more power overall.

Honda as a company is way overated

4:39 Having 16.5hp was incredible at the time. A Yamaha gt80 only had 5hp.

Awesome review

The other manufacturers stopped building race quads honda built last quad before ban and others never got to improve theres cause of ban and then 10 yrs later 2000 ex came out but could beat a 250r and then a championship racer doug gust put a drz400 in his 250r frame (walsh frame) and made people look at 4 strokes for racing then he helped design z400 then manufacturers started making race quads again in 2003 z400, 2004 Yamaha 426,then 450,2005 honda 450r ,2006 Suzuki 450r by 2009 there were 8 race quads to choose from .was the best racing and should have been on tv lije mx !

I would love to see a video covering the later model LT250r and also one for the LT500r Quadzilla.

Had a 85, removed the ATAC manifold exhaust reducing sleeve. And rejeTted carburetor & mixed premix 50- 1. Installed a 53 tooth rear sprocket

WR450F was a better choice. It had an electric start in addition to the kickstart it also had headlight/tailight 18 inch back wheel so you can stick a fat tire on it and side stand The only better thing on a YZ450F is it was uncorked from the factory it was race ready to go where WR you had rejet and rework the carburetor to open it up.

I have a 05 450x. Would you be able to do a video on the 05-17 run?

Yamaha was the most refined and i owned 3 of the 4 in 1992. Honda way overated kawi just a little slow, yam was perfect. Fast without the scream...she moved.

I thought these were cool when they came out. I see them pop up for sale every once in awhile on marketplace and I fantasize about buying it but never do
