Dirt Bikes

Anybody here like Dirt Bikes? Anybody got any? I want a Yamaha TT-R 125LE. Amazing bike, hope to get it in the next 2 years. But a dream bike when I'm older, I'd want a kx500. It rips and haven't heard/seen of many people to pin it all the way.

I have a crf450r collecting dust :/

The 500 two strokes are no joke but neither is a modern 450 4 stroke.

Atleast you got a bike, All i got is a piece of junk-welded together go-kart. I'd give anything for a Dirt Bike. But I guess it's something.

What about a ktm 150 if he wants a full-blown race bike. . Part of me wants a 2-stroke. Like the good 'ol saying if you ain't mixing gas, you ain't hauling a**(ss). I'd get a honda ATC before a quad .

Plan to pick up a crf50 for my boy for his birthday this year. I need a riding buddy.

I've probably ridden twice in the last three years

And just say no to katoom. I've had a few

I have a spot in my heart for Hondas too. I did have at one time a Triumph but found out that while I like working on them I liked to ride them too,the Triumph would have none of that. I understand that it would be worth some money now though. I still have my very first bike a 69 Mini Trail 50. I also have a 69 Mini Trail 70,a 74 TL 125,my favorite rider and a 76 MR 250. The most "modern" in the fleet is a 99 xr70. They all run and have the original paint.

I started out on a '74 Mini Trail 50 (back in '74). Moved up to a Honda 100. That burned up in a house fire, so I moved up to a '78 YZ125. That thing was sweet. Near the end, I rode the YZ on the ice more than the trails.
Now I kick it on this monster. I'll bet you can't hold on to this thing in third gear.   

Part in due to building and the noise it got to the point that we only
used them on the ice, here is my 73/74 CR 250

I was an SL70 kid

had my KDX200 till just a few years ago. awesome wudz machine after correcting the fat factory jetting and soft front springs.


However, Wife is selling her TTR125L. Bought it new for her in 2000
Used vary sparringly, gently,and some years not at all.

Took it apart and greased everything before it was ever used once.
BBR skidplate and chain guide, moose tool pouch, Acerbi hand guards

Its cherry, needs nothing but a new home.

Man I miss riding... This thread has bummed me out for the morning.



And Back when I still had riding buddies.... I miss these camping/trail riding weekends the most. I managed to have 5-6 of my good friends that I grew up with on dirt bikes in our early 20s. Most of them had never ridden but when I moved back from college they started riding with me. Not a one of them has a bike anymore.

It was all consuming for most of my late teens and 20s. Rode a little here and there growing up but my folks didn't really care for it.

I took an involuntary care flight at 28; had a mini-me, got a non-motorcycle related career to actually use my degree, and got married.... I've been on a dirt bike less than a dozen times since in the 5 years.

I've always said I will start riding again if my son wants to but I will stick to trails. MX gave me a nice limp in the mornings and metal in most of my extremities.

I had a Yamaha YZ490 for many years. Great bike. I did a lot of sand dune riding in Utah. When I moved to Texas, I sold it, as there were not many open-to-the-public places to ride. No real public land -- all private land.

Now that I'm back in Utah, I'm thinking about getting a new YZ450F...
