[@jackdempsey85]

are you sure this is 1984 because that honda and the kawasaki are both water-cooled!

[@leppape1]

+jackdempsey85 trust me,it is -84..they are factory bikes!

[@jackdempsey85]

+leppape1 so where can I see a standard 84 air-cooled 500 race because I've just brought one and I was interested in how it went

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Any of them that are not factory bikes in 84.

[@gregmaggio5217]

Except Broc's OM 490, air cooled, but he was used to riding antique treasures..

[@robertrishel3685]

jackdempsey85 works bikes! It was one of the greatest things about motocross up until they started the production rule in the US in 1986. They still have works bikes in the All Japan series and The Euros got some really trick stuff up until...well I guess the four stroke era. Sad sad sad.... the factory riders got some of the coolest equipment! Those mid 1980’s Honda’s though, wow! Honda developed a twin cylinder 125 two stroke for a few years...it just SCREAMED! They also had a few really trick works bikes with the Ribi-Quadralateral front suspension; DeCoster developed it for a time, just prior to his retirement from racing. My favorite works bikes though, were Evert’s and Watanabe’s early twin shocked, water cooled Suzuki 125’s! Mark Barnett and Brian Meyerscough ran them in the US in 1979 I think. So cool! Banning full on works bikes was the first nail in the coffin of Pro-moto...the second nail was handicapping two strokes to allow them to be beaten by lawn mowers (four strokes)..... and so it goes.

Okei.

[@devonwesticles]

i like how they all got stabbed by rose thorns lol except #5...the other two got it good though

[@boerplaas388]

Those were motocross bikes. I rode a Maico in the early eighties. Today’s bikes are computers. Total rubbish and too expensive.
