Great memories! My late brother (1956-2015) had the 250 version of this bike which he bought new in '74. Since I was only 8yrs old at the time I only got to ride on the back and push it when he was exhausted after a moto. That bike got me into bikes. If I had the means I'd buy this bike and ride it! God bless you for saving these machines. Rest In Peace big brother R.J. number 44

I was riding a Suzuki TM75 in the mini-bike class when this bike came out... And Roger DeCoster was the shit...LOL!!!! Looking at and listening to that bike, brought back some good memories for me just now.... The only thing missing was the smell of Blendzall or Klotz!!!!

I had one of these as young lad. It was a tad quicker than the cb90 I learned to ride on.

That’s a lovely 74 kx. I have the 76 125/250/400 great looking bikes and rare your right a great investment my 125 is worth at lest 3 times what I paid for it. You don’t see many like Ken said kids rode them into the ground and never looked after them. I’ve seen 2 for sale in the last 10 years. I’ve still mine from when I was 13. Cheers

very nice i had one a while back sweet classic example of a vintage motor cross bike how could one not like it another thing about that suspension i feel that although it's not a real lot of travel that suspension is very durable i was jumping some unbelievable huge jumps with one of these bikes but i was weighing about 150 soaking wet it did all i needed all and all i liked it super cool bike
