The exhaust sound on that bike is perfect. If that doesn't take you back to late 1970s mx nothing will. You guys hit it out of the park with that restoration. Well done!!

I once had tht very same model back in the day. I later on took a liking to the Euro colors of the White/Blue under a Local Sponsorship. BEST times of my Life ! I went on the 250 and Open class with decent results. Sadly due to Knee problems like Osgood Schlatter's I had to stop doing the one this I loved . Bob Hannah was my Idol back then. well till he left Yamaha.

Update these air-cooled bikes with disk brakes, electric start, and fuel injection top-of-the-line suspension, and they would sell to riders looking for an easy-to-maintain simple reliable machine. This would probably save weight as well. Especially for trail and enduro riders, you don't need 45 horsepower to trail ride.

Awesome yz125! I am a proud owner of 1980 yz250g, 1982yz490j, and 1981 it175. I like the air cooled 2 stroke bikes because they are easy to work on, less moving part that will fail over time, and they are so much fun to ride. The bmw would be fun to drive 6 speed? My daily is a 2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs 5 speed awd. Im happy with it and like that awd 5 speed.

B4 I moved from Texas 10ish years ago I built Bobber that I KNOW Sr. would have loved. Custom S&S motor abt 130hp/100ft lbs. of torque. Belt driven custom Sportster frame with a Fat Bob tank in Midnight Blue paint belt driven, old school spokes, and a 280 rear tire rear tire.. Sadly My now X wife sold it to some one at a 1/4 of what it was worth cause in Texas back then possession was 9/10 of the law. SO I sent her to get the registration/tag done while I worked. Need I say more. 🤨😒🤒 needles to say she tool me to the cleaners in a NOT so nix=ce way after we had agreed not to be trashy.
