fairly original bike from the collection. don't have many water coolers in the collection but this is one of my favorite KX model years. mostly original except for some of the plastics and rear tire. nice tight and quiet motor too.

A ton of time and money went into the search, acquisition and restoration of this Mugen ME360
1981 KTM 495

This is one of my favorite open class bikes in my collection. It is also the exact model that was setup and tested for top speed (123 mph) back in 1981 by motocross magazine. Of course they changed high gear and sprockets to accomplish it but this bike is still a rocket ship bone stock.
1977 RM125

This bike has been totally restored. Rebuilt crank with new rod kit, all new seal and bearings and a fresh bore for a 2nd over piston kit. All the hardware was replaced with OEM or re-plated, powder coated frame, swing arm, pegs, etc and gas tank professionally painted so it would look just like the day you saw it on the showroom floor.
had one growing up. that thing will put a lot of hurt on you if you get on it and don’t know what your doing. some would ask to drive it but answer was always no😂😂
Agreed!
I own 2 of the 1983 490 spiders. I shouldn't have sold them 😢
Dirt bike
My Dream bike to have in my collection…. Still looking
😊
I'd spit me off fourth gear. I'd find a 80 ft double.fourth half throttle
They are a hand full
i have this exact bike just not as nice and fancy as yours
Very cool model!
Man those rim has seen some time in the sun,, sure it is a low hour bike? They are more yellow if they are new.
Actually I think in eighty four they went to more of a champagne color gold. I could be wrong though
Rare gem.
One of my favorites😊
That was the first MX bike I had seen, back when I was 12 years old in 1976 in rural Michigan. A neighbor of mine had one. I have been hooked on the sport ever since,---and even after engineering degrees and a lot of dead end jobs, I port little 2-stroke engines for a living today.
Very cool the first RM I saw was my friends new 1975 RM125. Great memories. Check out my other videos
Unicorn ❤
😊
Had the stock 79. Crappy breaks,, But the engine was brilliant. Best looking dirt bike ever made.
Had one (not Mugen) ... Loved stepping off to kick start it.
😊
My God, I'm 15 years old again! Thanks, friend!
Glad you like the video. I feel the same way 😊
I started on the TM 75. Slow,,,,Poor handling, extremely sluggish,, But so cool... I loved it. The dumbest design flaw was the front finder. What front fender? Also the oil injection was useless. I just mixed the gas.to get the right mixture. I also got rid of the spark arrestor. That silly thing took and already slow bike and made it slower. But,,, AS far a fun,,, and youth,, I had more fun on a TM 75, than any of my 20 bikes since. I will never forget the smell of mixing the Castrol race oil in that slow little engine... Brings back great memories...
Good memories. We grew up in a great era
@@kingdebary Yes we did. It was pure fun.
@@kingdebary I also had a 79, CR250.. That was a great bike.. It hit hard for a 250, but it was still fun.
I could never get my brakes to work properly
Any ideas where to find the kickstand ?
Just keep looking on ebay. That's about the only place to find it
Nice bike,i bought one brand new in 1980 for about 1500 dollars in Australia and just got my hands on one again recently in great condition for 7000 dollars
Montesa capra 414 ❤❤❤
@@user-ie3op7hi5v they are very cool bikes
I had one just like it. I was 8. So much fun.
@@EvilJester666-13 they were rockets
Does not seem that loud surprising. '83 cr 480r is the loudest thing on the planet.
Your right. I do have an 83 cr480 video on my channel
Go for a rip in the hood.
You light that up in the driveway and heat be coming for sure.
😊
What's that white sedan in your driveway?
@@hackd6959 😁
Ich hatte die 82er GS . Tolles Motorrad. Bin damit Nordd. Gelände Meisterschaft gefahren.
Fun bike to ride
Do you take your bikes to a local track? How many bikes do you own? just curious.
Use to race vintage. Then got into woods riding on modern bikes but hung up the boots after breaking my femur on my kx500. I still have about 45 bikes in the collection
@@kingdebary Wow, 45. Good riding, bad luck with the bones, but you gots good stories and quite a collection, thanks for the infos..🤠👍🇺🇸
Best mono shock of all time.
It was a beast
Absolutely beautiful bike.
Thanks!
I had one. Great Hillclimb bike. Would come right off idle into the band
Yes, they pull hard
Rode one of these back in the day and then the Yamaha IT 200 stormed onto the scene, spelled the end of the MR sadly. Fun back to go bark bashing with however.
They were fun bikes to ride
I was 14 in 1989. My mom liked to garage sale Alot. She called it 'Sailing'. One of those times I wasn't sweating in the back of a station wagon in the middle of the summer w/ her she brought this home. As the story goes some elderly woman had a small shed in the back of her property that butted up against a large creek. It rained alot the summer and flash flooding caused the shed and its contents to be dislodged and swept away. Her things were recovered and the original owner grown and gone she decided to put it in her garage sale. Im sure she was asking more but my mom was a shark. She got my surprise bike 1980 cr80r for $80 and brought it home. Now I know she was gambling on this cause $80 was alot of cheap garage sale nick-nacks for her but she knew I had a knack for fixing stuff. She brought it home and I filled it with gas and it fired right up but I shut it down right away as the river slammed it into rocks apparently and cracked open the side case. I was motivated at this point and thanked my mom with joy! Long story short I rebuilt the bike from the frame up with all new seals and parts and paint. Thanks Dad for the many visits to the Honda parts shop..after $550+ in parts he was asking me "son are we almost done yet"? ;) Took me a year but at 15 I was rippin' shit up on the trails and I was hooked. I'll never forget that bike so thanks for the restored memory in visuals and sound from my past. 1980 cr80r for $80. Thank-you. 48 and still twisting the throttle <3
Great memories!
79? Put on your Regatta De Blank and pleasure Principal records, finish off your home work in jr high, grab your Cycle World magazine and dream about these plastic motor cycles. 😎👍
Good times
Had one of these when I was 13 y/o. I remember the big 40mm carb, and how I had to "keep it on the pipe" if I wanted to climb a hill. Since I was in a residential area, I used existing and abandoned rail rights-of-way to get to different areas. I can recall riding in top gear on the stone track beds, doing maybe 45-50 mph, and having to watch for the occassional hills that would allow vehicles to cross the tracks. Hit one of those and you'd be jumping at that speed. It was bullet-proof engine. Just had to keep up on the maintenance - chains, sprockets, tires, etc.
They were great bikes
2 more years until the rm125x...with full floater .. .yayyyy🤪🤪
23 inch wheel?
Yes, only in 79
@@kingdebary lots of math got us wit the 21/18...19 wheel combos..ain't technology swell?🤪
I have a 79 YZ250 unpredictable Power Band though I dig your white and red
Damn that bike sounds mean!
😊
Nice
Thanks!
@@kingdebary i love motocross
Perrona😮
My rm 500 would push 90 mph,truly a great bike
One my favorite models
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I have a very sorry one of these in my garage which I want to re-build with my son. Do you know if there's anywhere I can source parts for these bikes? A lot of the original parts are now discontinued.
You can get nervous aftermarket plastic from Maeir or DCPlastics. You can still get motor parts from Honda and Ebay is a great source as well. Be sure to check out my other videos
The mountains echoed in the summer with rm , yz, cr, and carabella motorcycles, i had a dt, a mt and ts. 1982 got my 125cr husky. What a time.
We were lucky to grow up in that Era of motorcycles
Absolutely beautifull loverly aluminium green tank
Them fins on the engine look so good man
Thanks!
I love the kawasaki kx series, I had a air cooled 82 kx250, and then a month later got a 85 kx500, I should've made the 500 road legal, 😢
The Kx series bikes are great. Be sure to check out my other videos. I belive I may have anv82 kx250 on my channel along with a 78 and 79 as well
I've never seen a dirt bike hooked up to an I.V before lol
it had the flu
ooo full of envy
😁
👍👍👊
😊
I went from a mini bike to the TM 75 as my first dirt bike ,learning how to shift with a clutch, man the fun I had on that bike!
Great memories!
When in doubt.........go full throttle!
😊
Same goofy rotary valve as Kawasaki KD
As a kid that didn't matter. Just owning a motorcycle at a young age was a thrill
@@kingdebary Oh for sure. I couldn't get enough of them. I've owned an XR75, KD80, RM80, DT175, DS125, TT250 and many others.
