[@michelegarrett8258]

Those of us fifty year old guys are going nuts watching this video Kenny!!!!!!!

[@aaronzimmerman1089]

A 52 year old guy here and the first bike I ever had was a 1977 Suzuki RM 50. Still love it to this day although I have upgraded to a HONDA XR 650 L for scooting around the mountains of Idaho. 🫵

[@caleroby9483]

​@aaronzimmerman1089 ... Scooting around OK, TX, Ar.... Right with ya Brother! 2021 XR650L here... Eventually up in the Montana and Idaho region I will be, scooting! 👍

[@93xcr440]

What gorgeous bike's I remember drooling over them when I was young

[@mikenimmick3920]

That XR 75...wow. I had an SL 70 as a kid, but always wanted an XR 75...never happened. Gorgeous bike.

[@Gr8thxAlot]

This is a dream for an 80's kid! What an amazing time for bikes!

[@joejustus3169]

Wow 🤩 thanks so much for sharing this spectacular collection. Really brings me back to my youth. Love the Honda XR75.

[@michelegarrett8258]

My first bike was a 1975 xr 75, what an indestructible bike!!!

[@Jeff-h9d]

I owned a 1981 Suzuki RM 80 when I was 12 years old. It ran better than I thought!

[@markschafer8275]

God bless America,,,,always my favorite part of your videos...

[@caleroby9483]

Mine too.... Honestly. Love Glory! 🇺🇲❣️

[@justmakeatrip]

WOW absolute beautiful bikes! THX for presenting!!!

[@ShaneVonD71]

Wow! I Love The Minis 80's. The 1980 RM80 Is A Gorgeous Little Bike. Man That Brings Me Back.

[@nicholastighe8450]

That's amazing ! All those bikes are so clean and fresh wow ! The collection of Suzuki RM's are super nice especially the 100 !

[@mxmarvin]

I owned a 1978 and a 1979 RM 80. I especially loved the '78 as it was the first real motocross bike I ever owned. The thing was a rocket. I kept mine stock and it would outrun the modified 80's of the day. I could sit and stare at that thing for days and is still my favorite bike I've owned to this day.

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

That’s awesome. I had the ‘77 RM100, and my friend had the ‘79 RM100. For some reason the ‘79 didn’t seem as fast in the low end. I road a ‘78 RM125 back then, and from what I remember, the ‘78s seemed faster than the ‘79s. Do you remember that? Maybe Suzuki mellowed out the ‘79s a tad? I had a 1980 RM80 that was a screamer though. Exactly like the one he rolled off here, minus the aftermarket shocks and rear sprocket. Of all the ‘70s RMs, the ‘78s were my favorite year.

[@AngeloRamirez-j4e]

Tengo un RM 80 es un cohete

[@blizzard71]

Omg ! as a collector and major Suzuki fan , this find has me envy ! I been lucky with my finds and my collection is top notch , but have been really thinking of collection all of the 80s from back in the day ! you just convinced me to do so ! thanks again for another awesome video ! Merry Christmas to everyone at Kaplan Cycle

[@KaplanCycles]

Very cool! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@schlottsseafood8781]

This is absolutely the cleanest get that you guys have gotten! That I have ave sceen! WOW!

[@ronald-c3t6t]

What wonderful memories , I bought a brand new RM 250 in 1977 with money I had saved up from my paper routes , I combined 3 routes into one. I used to have two bags of papers on the bars and one hanging around my neck , six days a week. I was only 17 when I bought the bike so my older brother had to sign for me , even though I had a handful of cash a motor vechicle could only legally be sold to a adult. GOD BLESS , love this channel.

[@pablocespedes5880]

Nostalgia! my second bike ever was a XR200R just like that one you brought out!!! I loved that Honda, I bought it new in Costa Rica back then in 1981.

[@scatpack440]

HOLY SHIT, my youth as soon as you opened the door. My RM80 was a 79 square fender. Wait, I spoke too soon, splooge!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@cubedmack]

The 79 RM80 was faster than 1980 RM 80 and the best looking one. Back then I had to friends that were brothers and one had a 79 and the other had 80 and the 79 would beat the 1980 all the time in a straight line. The 1980 handle better in the trails. I had a 81 CR80 and the 79 use to give me a fit on the street lol. The good ole days.

[@piehole63]

Wow!!! I still have my 79 rm 80 . Ben restoraing it

[@cubedmack]

@@piehole63 Dam! That's amazing that you still have it. Every time I see a 1980 or 81 CR80 on KZbin I get so emotional because I had so much fun riding with my friends as a kid. Dude it was like a gang of us kids riding our dirt bikes in the trails.

[@fkwitme22]

Mine too. Kept right up with the 89 CR80!

[@tonybennett3904]

The first RM eighty is mesmerising.

[@staigerdesigns9334]

WOW!!! Just WOW!!!!

[@DCzookster]

I had a brand new 1979 RM125, that RM80 is amazing

[@RogerDiotte]

OMG so nice to see this time machine unveil! Honestly if my 1983 Suzuki RM 250 came off that capsule I'd have still been crying happy!

[@warrenhoare2852]

Those 80’s take me back. And what about that RM100. That class was only around for a couple of years. So wish could go back to my youth. ❤

[@honestjohn1129]

To work for you must be a dream seeing all the older dirt bikes that come through. I remember looking in a book when I was a little boy & seeing a blue scrambler - I can’t remember what it was ( like ts 100 or something like that ) that just left the image of a cool looking bike & still love the older stuff now. This would have been early 80s

[@joelatkinson2080]

God bless you guys for all you do!!!

[@angrytater2456]

That Kawasaki green POPS! That KX 80 and the RM 100 are by picks.

[@bps7209]

Dear Santa 🎅 Ken, I have 2 grandkids that would love these for Christmas! 😎

[@lawrencefoster5608]

The kid across the street had a RM80 and I had never seen anything like that. I started riding the next year I got a RM 100 for my 16th birthday January 1981.

[@RDEnduro]

Damn how did that 80 survive! Its time for some 12yr old to ride it! Maybe even a 50yr old one haha

[@scatpack440]

My 1st bike ever was a 76 MR50. This a super cool haul Ken!!! ❤❤❤

[@KaplanCycles]

!Right on

[@polaridoo1]

Wow!! All I can say. It's taking me back to being a kid.

[@mikellewis2346]

I love watching these videos. Blast back in the past. What id give to be your nabor. 😊 God bless to you, family an crew, i love what you do!!!1❤

[@more.power.]

I remember my first ride on a RM 80. I got on it thinking it was a toy after riding my 250cc yamaha. I wound the throttle open and up came the front wheel into 2nd and up came the wheel. What a beast for 80cc I absolutely love it. Thanks Ken

[@rockthesix1679]

Never got it, but i begged for the '79 RM80. The square fender look set it apart from the rest. How bikes like that survived is amazing. I knew plenty of kids back then that would literally destroy a brand new bike in one riding season.

[@eliterry3785]

Very nice video. It’s good to see these examples were respected and preserved. As a child we couldn’t afford such machines with the exception of the Hodaka. My father bought one off a coworker and I rode it like ABC Wide World of Sports was filming the thrill of victory part of their opening. I can hear Jim McKay echoing in my blue metal flake helmet when I see a toaster tank.

[@michaeltrower6792]

The 1980 rm80 was definitely a rippaa i remember those absolutely screamed

[@RealHooksy]

The Suzuki gods were looking over you today Ken😎 What a magnificent collection

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]

Ken ,i wonder if you truly realise how happy you make people when you introduce these bikes to your subscribers ,soon as i saw that XR200 it took me back to a better time a less stressful time in my life ,i still recall having to ask my older brother to help me unscrew that petrol cap and help me put a jerry can of petrol in ,my hands were too small to unscrew that cap and a full jerry was too heavy for me ,miss that bike and i really miss my brother ,god bless

Wow! Nice haul! This was the years I raced!

[@chrismoody1342]

Of that group of bikes I’ve ridden a few. The ‘73 XR75, the Wombat and the RM125. I’d declare all of them a hoot to ride, even as an adult. You send them they go !

Like you ke a lot of these were on my x mas list ! Out of this world !!! A testament of the reputation you all built. They are cherry!! 🎉

[@MarkZauner]

Back in the 70s, my hero was Roger DeCoster and my dad bought me a Suzuki so I could race it at a young age and then he turned around and bought the 400 Widowmaker that was one bad motorcycle back in the day. That’s why they called it and you had to respect it the Widowmaker😊

OMG what beauties!! my first Bike was a 1978XR 75 and BOY did I ride that thing into the ground man I wish I would’ve just garaged it and kept it all these years to give to you guys to mint it out

[@comedyash]

Trailer full of NOS motorcycles, xmas has arrived at Kaplan Cycles! What a sight to behold I love seeing a full load of barn fresh bikes rolling out but this is something else, those Suzukis are so darn clean what an incredible collection! Love the colours on the XR75, and the hotrod XR75 is super classic looking can't beat the red, gold, black combo. Museum looking fresh with the snow, thanks for sharing.

[@triipn]

I had a 74 XR75, rode that thing as hard as I could for 2 years straight and the only thing that broke on it was the pipe right where the muffler starts. Hit a big ol jump and when I landed it just snapped. Next was a 76 RM100 the only year the 100 had the down pipe. It was the same bike as the 75 RM125 just down 25cc. Then when I turned 15 I went and bought a brand new 79 RM400 that I still own. Love that Bike and will never sell it. Maybe I will someday if the moneys right. Seeing those bikes come off the truck gave me many flashbacks, good and bad ones. Good times

[@KaplanCycles]

If you ever decide to sell it give me a call 860-916-9784 text me a picture of it

Dam, it's crazy that back in 1980 when I was 10yrs old I had friends that had 1980 RM 80, 79 RM 80, 80 KX 80 and both Honda XR 75. I had a 1981 CR 80. Back then you would've never thought these bikes would be classics especially the XR 75.

[@jeffreyenglish2413]

That Kawasaki KX 80 is the first year for Kawasaki I had one is a 5 speed and you notice that the front tire was I think a 17 inch the only 80 with that size my parents paid $749 in 1979 I was 14 years ago Wow 🤩

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

Those KX80s seemed rare. I wonder what the production numbers were for those first two years. In my neighborhood all you saw were RMs and YZs. That’s all that was available, except for a CR or two. But I remember seeing team green in Dirt Bike magazine and thinking, “Alright, all four are battling it out!” I rode several RMs back then but thought the KX looked amazing too. Gorgeous bike.

[@jeffreyenglish2413]

Yep let me tell a story about the KX80 A1 it had a 5 speed while the YZ 80 had a 6 speed and we would race each other I would always get the hole shot because that KX had a ton of low and midrange power the YZ 80 hard more power top end and the 6 speed It’s amazing how far they have come the 85 today in 1979 the 80s were making between 16-17 horsepower power now these 85s are making 24-26 horsepower 😄🏁

[@alexcrudello3672]

Most of my dream bikes, my buddy had a 78 RM 80 in a straight line it would leave my 78 YZ 80 in the dust, and keep up with all the 125 and 250 for 5 gears. Unreal May Walter Deitz live in Peace. ✝️

[@jamesmcnamara1619]

Wish todays bikes had seats like the ones from the 70s

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

You’re killing me! I also owned a ‘77 RM100, it was my first new bike. Mine didn’t have the fork booties, the gas cartridge, the fins on the number plate or the silver S on the engine case. Is that one a ‘76? Waiting for you to roll out a ‘74 TM125. That was my first. Nice to see the ‘80 KX80 too. I don’t think the ‘79 RM100 had the leather hand grab. I don’t recall it either. My favorite ‘70s model RM was the ‘78 models. Friend had a ‘78 RM125 and it was fast! The ‘78s seemed the fastest overall. Thanks Kaplan! Memories for sure!

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

Ha. I want to know the price of the RM100, the ‘78 RM80 and the ‘80 RM80. I’m not sure which one I’d buy. I owned all of those except for the ‘78, which is the one I always wanted the most. Probably that one, but the ‘80 is sweet!
