Omg, I feel like I’m 14 again watching these bikes. The Awesome memories of riding them and dreaming. That’s when being a kid was fun

[@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!

[@Jeff-h9d]

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

Lmao. They are all Japanese bikes. Lmao.

[@southeastoriginal5668]

My first dirt bike was 1979 rm80. I was born in 82’ so I was probably 12 but seeing this brought back many memories. Thanks for sharing

[@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.

[@RadioReprised]

The RM-100 kicks ass on all of them! THAT is what a Dirt Bike should look like!

[@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. ❤

[@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!

[@Gr8thxAlot]

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

[@mikeys7536]

Man, thank you for posting this. I’m 56 and haven’t seen bikes like these since I was a teenager.

[@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 !

[@mikenimmick3920]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@kenyoncomp4064]

I had a 1983 XR80 when I was a kid, my brother and I rode the crap out of it , never broke , always started right up. I’m 52 now and I love watching these old bikes especially the 480/465/500.. just awesome content.

[@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.

[@staigerdesigns9334]

WOW!!! Just WOW!!!!

[@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

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Wow! I had a '78 RM 80 as an 11yr old and loved it. Those XR 75s are simply ridiculous!

[@box1u]

I had that 1980 RM 80,brand new back in the day. That one is mint, thanks for sharing 👍

[@drywallisinmyblood]

My father bought me a brand new 1979 kx 80 at Kawasaki east on rt. 96 in Victor NY for $600 way back in early 1980. I’ll never forget it!! It is the exact bike you have

[@polaridoo1]

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

[@markb7067]

Oh my goodness. What a find. Those 80's are absolutely stunning. I think you just unloaded most of my early riding dream bikes. Simply spectacular.

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

[@rodneywright3370]

That 79 RM 80 was the first bike I ever owned. My dad bought it for me in November 78. It was 1 of 2 in the country (Australia) until early 79. I was the envy of all my mates. Loved the squared of guards. Absolutely unique for its time. I’m 60 now. Brings back great memories.

[@JoeCole12]

WOW. Had a photo spread of the 79 RM full line up in my bedroom

[@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

[@kevinsivertson5800]

Wow like many on here, brings back so many good memories. I had & raced a 1977 XR 75 With a power Pipe. To have 15 of us lining up full noise at the start, still gives me goosebump’s. Thanks for the video’s, made my day. Just going to put on Eddie Money’s I wanna go back & do it all over again 🎵

[@sheddwellinghermit]

Brings me back to my childhood in the early 80s ripping it up in the gravel pit or pretty much anywhere without pavement with all my friends on my well used 1979 RM100. The sound of the power band kicking in was like music to me. Thankfully I got to grow up in rural BC

[@terencesingerline135]

Such a beautiful find! That’s a 1979 Kawasaki KX 80..That was my 1st mini at 14 years old..All my friends and I owned these Suzuki RM 80’s from the 1978 thru 1980..Truly a truck full of great memories..Merry Christmas

[@bryansmith6983]

Im 54 years old and had that RM80 with the blue logo when I was growing up. Best bike ever! What a collection! My first bike was the Honda 50, with big bouncy tires. It was fun growing up during that time. Nice to see that RM80 again!

You and me both!

[@caleroby9483]

AMAZING......! Absolutely amazing 👏! Time capsules. That XR75.......😵‍💫 Never seen one that pristine. 🥰

[@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.

[@shawnslaunwhite2085]

Awesome collection. They are beautifully done! Nice job getting them! Your friend did a great job with these.

[@joebcool1981]

I still have my 1982 cr80.. the only thing non factory is the handle bars. Just need it to get restored like these.. Awesome find guy's 👏

[@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

[@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😊

[@johndeykers2622]

Wow ....this was great...with my paper route money...i bought brand new a 1982 XR80

[@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 !

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.
