The split fire Kawasakis from the 90s are the baddest looking bikes of all time!!! I'll never forget seeing Ricky on his 125 it's just a historical masterpiece what you have done brother!!!💪
The bike looks and sounds awesome. Wish you had ridden it on the pipe so we could hear it the way it’s supposed to sound. Remember 2-strokes aren’t meant to be ridden in the low and midrange, the top end is where all the power is. Beautiful build, hope some of my KX projects turn out as good.
Thanks dude! I was still being easy on it since it was still being broken in and the jetting was a little lean. But also, let's be honest, I'm not pro status either 😂.
Thanks dude! I was actually pretty excited to put the stock plastics on to see how it looked. Almost like a "factory" oem look. I dig it. And yessir! We will be seeing the Whiskey Throttle Media video down the road 👍🏼💨
Man if you are local to Miller motosports I’d love to get both P/C builds out there and run them! I wish I would known you were there! It’s an hour from my house
Let's just say it takes me a little longer than that to get there ;). That would be epic though! Totally down for that. Super fun track. Shoot me some pictures over IG of yours, I don't think I've seen it yet💨
Thanks Luke! Yeah man, wanted to make sure everything was A OK before letting someone else rip the bike. Always stressful when it's not yourself riding it, you definitely don't want anything to happen 🙌🏼💨
Right off the bat I feel like this motorcycle is more stable than the 07. The 07 dances around a little more. This has a little bit better bottom end I'd say as well. The 07 is more "flickable". I would have loved to really ride them back to back
@@jakeresnick2669 I understand that, the guy I got it from bought like 7 from Texas when he was working. Want to say it was from an auction and had to buy the lot as a whole. I’m not complaining by any means, I got it as a project as this was in the video. I’m just glad I didn’t start buying up parts being misinformed. Just glad the 99-02 are mostly interchangeable with most components.
@@GregHitchko I did last night when I got home from work. When I picked it up, it was late and last minute. I found the deal and jumped on it while on the road so I didn’t have time to do some real research. But it’s a project just as this one is you did. Just glad I didn’t buy parts before confirming. I did already buy a owners manual and good thing the 99-02 are all in the manual I got
Hey man I have been following you for a while and have been to Miller moto many time! I didn't know you were so close. Would be awesome to meet up one day and you can check out my builds too! I'm in north Alabama area!
What a tit let the man rip it after spending an absolute fortune an time on the bike. He already said pings gonna rip it keep up the great work greg awesome❤
@@chrismartin9436 hopefully I can film him in the bike 😂🤦🏼♂️. Typical vet guy over here spending thousands to look pro and go slow haha. Thanks Chris!
Oh shut up man, show some respect.. The engine is freshly built, and each to their own skills. Greg is great Project builder and a good weekend warrior just enjoying it. You want to see a pro level rider, well wait until the whiskey show as stated in the video.

Thank you dude! Yeah man Ricky ripping on the 125 was just so fun to watch. Good stuff!

Btw, the sprockets and suspension will need to be tuned based on the top end power, not low or mid.

I am a sucker for the original graphics. Just looks so good to me. Great job with the build. Are we going to be able to see Pingree testing it out?

Bike looks and sounds great!
Thanks Dustin!💨
Nicely done man. You must have felt so good after that ride, all your hard work paid off! 🔥🔥
Thanks Derek! Yeah man it's an awesome feeling finally getting to ride a build after doing all that work. I bet you're itching too haha
Great bike great build I have a 2003 same engine feels great
Right? These KX engines are super fun to ride. The 03 is still really similar to the 99 in terms of construction. Big fan

@@GregHitchko love it! maybe I can catch you there one day! your kicking 2024’s so far man! Keep up the hard work
Gotta spins some laps for Pingree puts a hurt on it! Sounds so good!
Thanks Luke! Yeah man, wanted to make sure everything was A OK before letting someone else rip the bike. Always stressful when it's not yourself riding it, you definitely don't want anything to happen 🙌🏼💨
How’s does this compare to you recent Stewart Replica you built a few years ago?

Finally did some digging and found out the supposedly 2001 kx250 I bought is actually a 1999. Glad I didn’t start ordering parts yet lol.
Oh dang!! Did you confirm it with the VIN number? Good thing those years are pretty interchangeable with the parts 🙌🏼. What's your plan with it?
😂 next time check the vin numbers on frame and motor numbers simple people lie all the time on what they have forsale
Only difference from 01 and 99 is the reedcage

if you went down, would you try to save the bike, or try to save your body????😁
Haha I'm still saving the body all day. When I was younger, bike for sure 😂

Heck yeah!! That would be so epic. It was my first time there since I'm new to the area. I'd definitely go back for sure🙌🏼🙌🏼💨
Your not even on the pipe super nice kx😊
Yo!
Haha you caught another one! Glad it's notifying you now dude 😂
Get someone on there that can actually Ride for Christ sakes !
