    This was my first bike as a kid in 1981. Seeing this brings back some good memories

    You can tell Ken really loves this one. The way he talked about riding one as a kid, while caressing the seat and rear fender 😀

    That’s my childhood right there! I first craved a 1974 XR75 but then I discovered 2-strokes. My parents never would buy me the XR, and so I bummed rides on these - SEVERAL friends with Yamaha GTMX80s in my neighborhood - and then I finally saved up enough money and also sold my POS Montgomery Ward mini-bike, and when my mother divorced my father and moved me to another state (he was the real reason I wasn’t getting a bike), I finally got a YZ80 in 1979, and just built up from there...

    That's a nice piece!! I remember looking at one back in the mid '70's at Daly City Yamaha it retailed for $475 new. A friend of mine had a '74 it was silver we rode it everywhere!! First bike I ever rode with a manual clutch and 4 speed trans.... All up!! Great memories!! Thank you!! Keep the great work!!

    My buddy from Junior High had an MX-80. Had so much fun trail riding in the woods behind his his house. I had a 1980 XR-80 and he had the MX-80. I will never forget that metal front fender, the sight hole for the oil, and definitely that cool metal gas gap. Good memories, these guys do such good work......Kaplan America 🤘🇺🇸

    Nice! My first bike was a 1978 GT80. It was about 2003, I begged my parents for a dirt bike and eventually my dad caved and found one of these for 300 bucks. I thought it was the best thing ever until the next year when I got a KX60 and obviously it was a whole different ball game! My dad flipped that KX60 over backwards the one time he rode it trying to show off to my grandmother. Thanks for bringing back great memories!

    I remember sitting on one of those brand new at Ralph Strongs Yamaha when I was a kid. I was short for my age and I could touch the ground on the 100 but not the moto crossers. The YZ 80 was just a little too tall for me. LOL

    Amazing, if I give you my 2002 XR70R in perfect condition will you give me a shout out? The XR70R I have is in pure mint condition besides a scrape mark in the rear fender from wheelies, I have not looped it I just slam the rear brake down when I get 180 degrees up lol.
