  • I found this garage find legendary 1981 RM125 when rescuing a vintage Vw Beetle a while back. You guys asked me to save this classic dirt bike so I went back and bought it. The 1981 RM125x is an ICON and one of the best Mx bikes ever produced. Will it Run? The revival continues with a refresh and first ride next.

    I only paid $150 for mine, but it came in boxes. Piston rings were hanging out the exhaust port... Spent more money and finally got it running though. Lot of fun! (not for the neighbors)

    Nice to see you back, that bike brings back some memories. I had a 80 rm 125 in the late 90s. It was air cooled with dual rear shocks. That thing rattled my body so bad I could only ride 30 mins tops before my hands would go numb. Can't wait for updates on this. Keep the vids coming

    Dirt bikes are not my thing but I like to see you figure out what is wrong with them and get it running. Really satisfying when it bursts into life, I love your impression of a two stroke engine. Good to see you Jason I was only thinking we hadn't seen you for a while and yes I know people say that but it is true. Spring is almost here so that puts a positive spin on things. 👍👍
