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. 🫵

Seeing these bikes just makes me happy!!! Thank you.

I just literally lost my mind watching this. I’m 57 and the memories came pouring back

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

As did mine! I miss my Suzuki RM 125. Had a lot of fun with that bike.

[@seatime674]

I'm 57 to I grew up on these early 80's I can't stop crying, I'm on my 2nd box of kleenex😢😅

[@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

[@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.

[@93xcr440]

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

[@ibzrgman9130]

same here. use to go to the local Suzuki dealer and wanted a RM, or DS 80 more then life!!

[@michelegarrett8258]

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

[@ShaneVonD71]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Jeff-h9d]

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

[@GearheadRob319]

I owned a 78. Man that little bike was fast!

[@justmakeatrip]

WOW absolute beautiful bikes! THX for presenting!!!

[@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

[@mikenimmick3920]

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

[@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 !

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

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

[@GearheadRob319]

Wow! Nice finds. Love the Rms and xr 75s. Brings back sweet memories.

[@box1u]

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

[@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.

[@schlottsseafood8781]

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

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!

[@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

[@Gr8thxAlot]

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

[@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!

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

[@RealHooksy]

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

[@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.

[@switzer1750]

Got to love the Wombat, had a 74, wish I still had it today

I’m glad to see a nice guy like you get these things. I love motocross. I’m 54,grew up in Swansea mass. I remember my all these. I would love to visit this museum. Mark ferry. There is your rm 80

[@polaridoo1]

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

Love those RM's and XR's.My first motorcycle was a 72 Honda SL 100, always wanted one of those XR 75's.My brother and I both bought 79 RM 125's brand new at the same time, that's still My favorite MX bike to ride!!👍

[@scottdavis9318]

I had a 79 rm125 and it was a blast on the trails. I think it was 1980 when I got it and only paid $900 for it. I loved every minute of it.

[@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!

[@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

[@flyfishincrazy]

I think you maybe the luckiest man alive! If I ever get to CT I’m coming to your place and get my eyes full! 👀

I miss my xr75 w the DG pipe and the carefree days. Jimmy Woods was my mechanic(father of AMA racer Jimmy Jr) My neighbor was pro motocross racer Jason Prater. Felt like I went back in a time machine watching this 👍👍

[@angrytater2456]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@wayneschenk5512]

Raced the RM 50 with my brother on the RM80 brings back memories.

[@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.
