Nice picture. Funny thing is I still got a XR75 kicking around my farm. Just goes to show how good the japs can make a dirt bike.

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

I had the exact bike at what looks to be about the same age as you. Loved that bike. It was one of the seeds that grew into a lifetime passion for motorcycles.

Any UK people get a huge “Kick Start” / “Junior Kick Start” memory from images like this ? Never ridden a bike myself but I could tell how hard what they were doing was.

My first bike was an XL125 in 84 when I was 13. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block, great pic!

Nice bike!

I learned to ride on a Honda 50, then moved up to an SL125. Practically indestructible trail bike. Your photo reminds me of many great times…

Nothing beats the feeling of being a kid on a dirt bike. Was like my real first taste of being free an in control

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.
