I wonder if my old YZ80 is still alive somewhere. Sudden wave of massive nostalgia.

My father sold all of ours when we had out grown them. I have got an '89 KX80 we restored together, which the kids aren't allowed to ride.

Nice. I had an 86 KX80 then a 91 KX80. The 89 was the model before the wacky 90s graphics came out!

A 2-stroke race bike is fun at any age. My RM100 still thrills me at 185lbs.

I’ve got a 200lb friend who restored his 87 KX80 and has a ball on it.

91 was my fave, until the 96 came out.

All great bikes back in their day. I’m trying to source some 92 rm80 parts to do a resto. Buddy of mine he’s a few years older then me has done a great job of finding some very clean late 80’s 80cc bikes. He found very clean 89 cr80r /yz80/rm80 and currently looking for an clean 87-89 kx80.
