Raleigh Burner BMX(Night Burner)

[@MinecraftChester]

I was getting cheese for my mum from the corner shop in Chester ~1985, when mine was stolen from outside. I'm still not over it hence why I'm here. This is immaculate and lovely to see it's got the right original Oakley F1 grips.

Thanks buddy, I bet that was devastating. She's flown the nest now, I sold her about 6 months ago, to a guy who will look after her, he has about 10 old school bmxs. 👍

I had this as a kid. Beautiful bike. BMX was all the rage back then, and most my friends had one kind of BMX or another. I saw the Night Burner in a shop window and my jaw dropped. Eventually I got one for Christmas, and so did my sister. To this day this bike looks beautiful to me.

Hi, nice night burner 👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@wayevs]

That is mint. I had a regular blue and yellow burner as a kid in mid 80s I loved that bike unfortunately I never knew what happened to it , Id live to get another burner for nostalgia!

Back in my 12 Y old in south of france....I'm 50 now...seems yesterday with my friends, liked the super genuine aspect including the carbospec 23 sticker still there... crazy

This brings so many good memories 🤩🤗 I used to have a piranha xl with alloy mags on it the night burner was the nuts.

My dad worked on the rigs in the 80s and had a good year according to him in 83 . So xmas 83 i asked santa for the basic burner. On the big day i couldnt believe i had the NITE BURNER. I was the talk of the street an soo lucky. My dad passed away due to cancer the next year,, damm i wish i had the chance to know him as a man, rather than a 13 year old nite burner rider.

[@kristofevo]

Mate, id forgotten how much i liked the nite burner....the red anodised parts and rims were so cool, to an 11 year old me! I had a super burner and the “gold” started peeling off after a few years.

In '81 I had a BMX which in the Netherlands was branded as Surfer BMX which were very similar to the Mk 1 Raleigh Burner including the gusset (with a different cut out) and loop tail, the welding was a better finish than the Raleighs though. geometry was not brilliant but at the end of the day that was the best I could afford for my spending money! Over time I did upgrade many parts and raced on it locally and regionally. In the Mid '90's I did own a Raleigh Burner Aero Pro, which was one of the best BMX's I owned, the other was a TNT BMX which I loved too, neither of which I raced but enjoyed just riding around.

[@kidda74]

Exactly the same as the one I had! 🤤

[@trashcompactorguy1710]

Cheers buddy, I do love having a bmx ........ but I may be parting ways, with this particular bmx ...... I still have one in reserve. 😂😎👍

[@rob-24971]

I had one of these, but mine came with black skyway mag wheels.

[@charliecharliecharliecharl8554]

Really good bike I never liked style of handlebars knew someone had cromo burner

[@HarryBunnGRVOTV]

Whilst most kids wanted the mag burner i wanted the night burner, i think it was about £130 and never got one but i did get a blue grifter, i’d love to get a night burner & a grifter now!

[@andrewmeadows2596]

Wow I had a blue Grifter it weighed a ton. I had a later red and black one aswel

[@noodles169]

Would be awesome to put a rear hub motor on it
