- The WORST dirt bike we have EVER seen | Can we save this DESTROYED YZ125?
Guys, we are stoked to announce our new company - MX Skill Shack! We are even more excited to teach you everything we know about building dirt bikes!
This destroyed YZ125 will be a super fun build. Not only for the sake of teaching- but one of our lucky winners will be taking this transformed Yamaha two stroke home when it's complete!
As it sits. it is easily the worst dirt bike we have ever seen. No contest.... but not for long! We're ready to save this neglected turd, and we want your help naming the project as well as helping us nail down "the look".
Sign up to MX Skill Shack below, and be sure to connect with us on IG for sneak peeks of these builds as well as in-depth MX tech tips.
Welcome to The Shack!

That thing has been through hell, hopefully it will get to see dirt again
Oh yes! This bike will shred again with its lucky winner!
Great video, my two cents. Make the bike perfectly bone stock. Wild 1-2-5 builds are a dime a dozen. They are always great, but when do you ever see a restoration to bring the bike back like it came off the factory floor? Never!
Great point, we hope you love the finished project!! And win it of course!
You should check out Matt Berger he does a lot of the off the showroom floor looks on his flips
I done a 96 yz 125 recently and left everything minus broken stuff as I got it in parts barely running for 750 £ kept colours the lot mostly minus basic bits rattle can paint no shot lasting or powder coating all done by my own hands etc gotta keep it minimalist I think to be better than the rest paying others going for extraordinary rather than attainment for most good luck god bless I agree 🫡👌🏴
Problem with that is you have less access to parts and lower performance, for more money. OEM parts usually costs more for old bikes than aftermarket. Alot more.
This is going to be such a sick series. Can’t wait to follow this build.
Pumped to have you as always!
That bikes actually not that bad, fasteners coming out easily with little rust etc. It's mostly cosmetic.
Pretty shocked, we’ll see what we find inside!
Y’all hilarious honestly! This content is great. Love the break down of the old beat up gems.
Haha thank you Nick! Stoked to have you. Will keep it coming and we hope you win this thing when it’s done.
Mucho grassyass
i think it would be hella badass to build it into a modern style bike, new suspension off an newer year model, just go all out in it. Make it look like a factory built race bike for modern times. love the retro builds but lets go all out and make this a new, old school two smoke. throw the book at it. with you and the mad bike scientist uncle tony i could see this this thing blowing everything outta the water. stay rad !
Huge thanks my man! Hope you like the finish result.
Ohhhh! But check dis 💩 out dough..
Thanks dude!
Man I'm Pumped, I'm definitely gonna catch you guy's over there, I seriously need a new bike brother, I miss the hell out of my old 450, I'm an open book so I was an addict for year's and got rid of mine when I was in some dark day's and have been clean now going on 5 year's and seriously miss riding so much, all I do now is sit around like a damn hermit staying clean but seriously need to take my mind off of things and enjoy the road and dirt again, hopefully I can win... *Great Video as usual Guy's* 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Man I'm in a similar situation but I bought a cheap roached bike and and have it all torn apart cleaning everything up before I put it back together. Once it's in your blood it don't leave. Braaaaap!! Good luck man
Bro, it sounds like the perfect outlet for you! Congratulations on five years. Next up, 10. For me, Moto is hands-down, the best exercise there is. Try to go to the gym every morning, but still nothing compares to hitting the track.
@@mxrevival Thanks man really appreciate it, as you know it's a daily struggle with the devil (So to Speak) and like you said there's NOTHING like hitting the trails or road on that bike, I try the gym sometimes but as you know it's after and that down time that's hard for me some day's, anyway appreciate the support and response and have a great thanksgiving man, you and the whole MX family.. 💯
That thing is absolutely rinsed…😮. Good grief.
Windham Replica. When Allie Semar burnt his hands swapping the pipe. Best era
I literally just saw that video for the first time the other day. Dude was screaming!
This!
Dude from one metal head to another i LOVE YOUR MUSIC INTRO
Huge, thanks! I try to make sure to get that djent slap or some good metal in front of every video 😍 definitely gets the juices flowing when I’m editing!
Hell yeah boys saddle up and hold on here comes mx skill shack ! I think you guys could do like a late 70s early 80s yellow throwback style bike idk it’s something different right? Lol can’t wait gents!
Yeah boi! Welcome aboard the new MXSS train
I've seen worse.
..AND got them running!
That thing is a diamond in the rough.
We are ready and super stoked
Always love a 150 or 167 cc bored and stroked bad boy, built a few over the years, perfect vet bike!! How bought a k dub or dowdy replica plastic??? Perfect vet bike!!!
Doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it has rocketships!!! You guys are effen hilarious!!! My wife was even cracking up at your Shenanigans!!!
Haha want to do our best to be ourselves and have some fun with everyone. And just like Thanksgiving, this thing is getting STUFFED
@@mxrevivalspeak for yourself on stuffing ole roachy…
Cream puff. Glad your back with a new build Carnot wait to see the transformation
😂 we are ready to apply liberal amounts of jelly to this bad boy
Definitely need to be a resto mod, new suspension brakes, and FUEL INJECTION!! hopefully in ten years someone will look at it and see what you guys built as a marker in history.
Love it dude, and we hope you do too!
How would you make a yz125 fuel injected?
There’s got to be a way. I’ve seen videos of fuel injected turbo Briggs and Strattons.
Happy thanksgiving, and awesome content! I think you should call it the Frankenstein, because you are literally bringing this bike back from the dead and will be a monster. Keep up the good work
Thank you, we appreciate that! Hope you had a great Turkey Day too.
The Meth Machine…smoking the pits and the competition! 🤘☠️🤘 Built by Hard Luck Living and mx skill shack.
Looking forward to watching this build from start to finish! I'd call it Sunburn ....or even better... Poison Ivy
So good! Both fitting names! Hope you win this thing!!
What about Hawaiian tropic??
NICE!! I’m one of the OG MX Skill Shack subscribers from when you first announced it a couple months ago and looking forward to getting more time to peruse what you’ve posted over there so far…..
Maybe call this bike “The Blue Bomber”….
We really appreciate you. A handful of guys made it to the end of that video, and most people are only hearing about it now for the very first time!
Keep the good ideas coming!
A YOT inspired build with some newer trick parts would be sickkk🤘🏼
I keep seeing the dragon in my thoughts as well!
Can't wait to see where this mxss thing goes! Thanks to you both!
Stoked to have you!
@@mxrevival been following since thundrkrakr, love the energy you put into what you do!
Thank YOU!
In 1969 I watched from our station wagon as my dad road his new Ossa home..in 1980 he gave it to me..if you put a hot plug in it and pushed it for twenty minutes,it would run..it was glued and wired and welded…I just saw it ,the guy I gave it to rebuilt the piece of crap..he spent,five grand fixing it
Oh, sweet memories! That’s rad. Thanks for watching!
That bike all beat up sitting shitty sure has a golden history behind it…
Hands down Kevin Windham replica he was on a 125 in 97. Then I need to win it. Charles another awesome choice for a build.
I sure hope you do! Have an awesome Thanksgiving dude!
KW38 or 7 I can’t totally remember
Haha, I held off watching, but I'm glad I did this morning. What the heck is going on with the carb? Is the bore actually wider than the slide?
LOL at the chain. I love the motion pro pliers but that chain would have gotten the grinder without a second thought.
Runner up winnings pile! 😂😂
Larry needs a home too…
First off , happy thanksgiving. Stoked for MXSS to kick off. 💪. I think keep it period correct but with a twist of a modern touch. If that’s even a thing 🤨. When I built my 97 Yz 125 , I had a hell of a time buying “newer “ parts for it. I couldn’t update it basically. Had stay at that 96-97 year range. Looking forward to the rest of the build !
Thanks for being one of our OG members! We will never forget it. as for the build, that is pretty much what we’re going for. We know you’re gonna like it!
@@mxrevival hey man , I’m proud to be an O.G. ! I’ll support you guys however I can
I think the stock 1996 look is the best look of this era and would be a cool direction for the build. Maybe some gold rims...
We like the way you think! Thanks for watching dude
Since its the 1st build with new company - make it a tribute to company and call it " skillshack "
That’s actually a really cool idea
Welcome to Neature Bike. We want everyone to know how neat dirt bikes are, without just me and Tony knowing about it…how neat is that?!
YESSS!!! "Gotta pack a heat, uh pack a gun- pack some heat"
😂
If you can source the correct dark blue plastics i think a factory 97 yz125 look would be sweet. They werent as flashy as the YOT bikes but were still very clean looking. Could do a john dowd replica. If not you could go for more of an early 90s look with the white frame and retro style graphics with the purple and pink colors. Mimicking the 2024 retro yzs. I think people would be stoked on that. Plus you can get away with doing more trick looking parts rather than beeing tied to doing a replica from that era that dokt get me wrong were very trick but didnt really look it back then. All the works parts were made to look as close to oem as possible in that era.
Really loved this comment. Thanks for dropping some killer feedback & ideas. THe white/ purp is getting a ton of votes in the comments!
I think it would look amazing as a 1997 noleen Yamaha with the red rear end 👌
So badass!
MysterYZ125 lets go! Can't wait for this build.
Thanks for being a part of it, as always, my friend
This is gonna be Good to see the End Result,that bike is Cooked !!…but You & Tony have a Beautiful Sickness & No task is Too Tuff for you guys🦾🔥🤘
Damn look at that beauty. Really awesome mews hearing you and Tony made a company together
Thank you,m my dude, we are stoked and ready
Make it period correct!!! I have a 2000 YZ125 project going on, and this is a super useful video. Thanks guys!
We promise not to restyle it!! Welcome aboard my friend!
@@mxrevival Rock on!!!
cant wait to see it.. you should use the 97 style plastics on this one!
if we can lock down a good dark blue tank, we might!
Do a Tim Ferry Team Noleen bike from '97
Since I'm an aussie, I've never heard of him or the team.....I just googled "1997 YZeeeee" and that bike popped up...lol.
I also love the euro and aussie spec white/red YZ's we got from the 80's.
Great to see you two "working" together and looking forward to this build.
You and uncle Tony's humor is on my level....which is good !!
Haha we can all be nerds together..... "1997 YZeeeee" 😂 Hope you love the finished project!
Tim ferry and the Noleen bikes both ruled
Happy Thanksgiving, this is a fun bike to ride this will be so cool when it's finished 🤘👍
Same to you, thanks for taking time out of your day to be a part of it!
Man that's sad. The 96-01 plastics were the nicest looking, but this thing is beyond beat. Lol
The more I look at it, the more I like the old body style again.
This new show is awesome I subscribed.
I’ve been up all night smoking a brisket waiting for this to drop. Happy Thanksgiving boys!
Back on our 5 AM drops! Thanks for being a part of it as always
The collab sounds great, no doubt us plebs will learn a lot from you guys. I have over the past couple years. Im throwin in a potential candidate for a the name, at first i was thinking crabs, cause damn! Looking further at what you guys started showing, man, its got it all...its straight "VD"...it's short to the point. That's a nasty looking bike. Can't wait to see the resurrection guys. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
😂😂 don’t share a toilet seat with this thing! Same to you and Jacob, Albert!
Lol!...I'm hip Charles...that's one crusty bike, can't wait to see the transformation. Looks like I'm going to have to join Instagram now..lol.
My initial thought here. Is dirty Uncle going to convert to zoologist? I mean we have baby elephants, Larry the catepillar, spider-nest, dead bats lurking.
And Charles acknowledge the stiff chain, it’s true Uncle likes it stiff 🤣!
Telling ya, some mxskillshack love and she buff out good. - Cant wait to see the old crusty 125 extreme makeover Chuck & Uncle edition come to life!
Hahahaha going to have a zoo of dick-shaped sharpie animals before long 😂 Thank you my dude
@@mxrevival I can vision the different shapes we see through the many present and future projects 😂
@@mikebrown41182next up. Giraffes
Good to c a bike that is really down like my bikes and restored them I just wish more 70 MX were rebuilt on u tube
Thanks for hanging with us dude!
“Fusion of soul patches”
😂😂
jokes aside I’m about it. Keep putting out great content!!
Hahahahahahahaha!!! 🙏🙏🙏🫵 It’s just like Rick James , and Charlie Murphy said… #UNITY
Love this content, i love dirt bikes, I'm trying to get my 1991 cr 250 running, held up trying to find someone to weld the cracked case, after Christmas.
Call it "crusty phenix"
Stoked to have you! That’s a tough one, super desirable. But you already knew that… keep your eyes open, I know you’ll get what you need for her. Been looking for transmission parts for my 97 RM250 and finally found a missing gear in Sweden…. Stuff does come up!
In the process of a 03 yz125r rebuild. It was roached but not that roached lol looks like about the same year model bike I think. And I thought I was in for a long project! I'm doin it a little at a time. I need help getting my clutch side back together, if I get beat by it when I try.
Nice! You can do it man, slow and steady wins. The race is always a good thing when you’re doing a build you really really care about.
Having that pile dropped in your lap to deal with, should be called the "why me 125" lmao
😂😂😂 good Juan!!
Funny part though, we chose this, ugh….
Rusty 2 Dusty. Awesome project can’t wait to see the ending
How about Rusty to lusty? 👀👀😍 stoked to have you on board.
That works just fine by me. As a big Yamaha guy I just want to say thank you for saving the 125 it deserves a new life of fun
Project harry Larry. Make sure he comes with the bike when it’s done 😂
🤣 he’s included for sure!
Kiss Racing would be rad!!. Every kid wanted that beauty on the shroud 😂😂😛
I need to Google that!
@@mxrevival sorry I meant to say “Skin Industries” not kiss haha!
Awesome video!!...since this hunk of junk "killed the Bat" y'all should name it Joker and do a '95ish throwback with purple frame and white plastics!!!
Hahahahaha that’s epic! We totally get the reference too. Check out “ college humor, Batman.” on CZcams. Absolutely hilarious spoof on the newer Batman movies.
@@mxrevivalI wear a leather suit
Should call it Project resurrection because it's definitely going to be brought back from the dead with you 2. That's one serious POS haha. As always looking forward to the build.
Hahahahaha thank you so much dude
Well with a few Austin Powers references it should be Gooooolldd.(frame) With sharks with freakin lazer beams for graphics.
Hahahahahaha SCOOOOOOOOTTT!!!!
I dig! Lower the GLOBE
You guys should give a shout out to Cam, he's had a rough go of it but appears to be on the mend.
We love Cam, very close friend. One of our first giveaway bikes was in order to donate to him and we have a live donation on our site for him to this day.
Proud to call Cam our buddy. He’s really a megabadass!
This is sick keep up!!!!
Promise! Thank you!
Love it, but sad to see an old yam stuck to a vine. Call it the CRYZEE cause the before AND after will make you cry. 🙏
Hahahahah solid!!!
@mxrevival Keep up the good work 👏
Great video. Good luck with that, the results will be great. Last year I bought a RM 125 1985 in that condition. I am rebuilding it but everyone tells me that if I put it on the track it will break because of the iron frame. Is this true?
We’re super excited to transform this one for ya 🙌 dudes we’re doing super gnarly stuff on the 1985 RM 125, no need to worry! Just inspect your frame and make sure you don’t have any cracks and you should be good to go
I think you guys having matching landing strips is cute!
Hahaha should see them covered in Maxima!
@@mxrevival mmmm maxima tastes just like chicken!
I think it would be awesome to make an angry 125 out of it, smart carb and how to adjust it maybe show how to restyle it to the 2023?
Yeah the boys 👌🏻🙏🏻
Ready to do work!
Happy Thanksgiving guys - and congratulations on the skillshack ! Love it - all bikes deserve a second chance at life and what a life this one will get 😂 glad you guys are back and stronger than ever 💪 hi uncle Tony - way excited for this next creation
Thanks for all the support, Mikey, we really appreciate you
Hi Mike! I’m here 😂
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BOYS !! 🦃🍗🥧 That bike though 😳
Haha!! Happy Thanksgiving, my man!
do a 98 factory 125 look, an definitely keep those applied clamps theres some sweet old school parts on that thing
We really wish we could find some lowers as well, but back then I don’t remember them actually being a thing! We all had the sweet Applied upper triple clamp on our bikes…. 😍
I bought a brand new 97 yz 250 in 97.it was the darker blue but side plates and front plate as well as front fender was white. Don't remember the graphics much cuz I replaced them soon as I got it home. In 98 I updated all plastic to the new blue. Great bike. Still riding yz 250 today
Can’t argue with a classic! I wasn’t sure if 98 or 97 was the last year of the dark blue, so thanks for clarifying. I like them both, so it will just come down to what we can get nowadays I guess for plastics
1997 was the last of the dark blue. It actually came with a dark blue front fender, dark blue shrouds/tank, white side-plates, & white rear fender. 1998 lighter blue color looked way better.
Looked way
@shawntblin5423 it was a long time ago but I'm pretty sure front fender was white. Could be wrong tho. Cuz like I said I was constantly changing to up date. I was what you call a support rider on a team. Not fully sponsored but got all the kick back of the team. They were all on new bikes every year and I just kept updating my 97 up to like 99
@shawntblin5423 You are absolutely correct Sir. Like I said the minute I got it home new graphics that included rear fender and front and all. Front fender graphics was white on the team and back was blue. Just looked in same old pic's
@@s.w.e.racing3704 Yeah, the 1996 had a white front fender. You could have certainly put a white one on the front of your 1997 to change it up a little.
I’m sure I’ve missed out on naming the bike but I figured DIRT DIGGLER was a very fitting name!
🤣 we love it! Thanks for watching and we hope you win it when it’s built back up again
It’s like if a crackhead morphed into a moto. Can’t wait to see what direction you go with it.
Hahaha YZ from the streets 😂 Thanks dude!
I like how windhams bikes looked back then in 96/97.
So do we. That probably has the most votes in the comments so far.
Nice proyect 👏🏻👏🏻 💪🏻😎
Should be fun! Thanks buddy!
Anyway this is the average motorcycle that I have to restore every time but not the worst.
I expected much worse, we got pretty lucky
@@mxrevival it will be a beautiful bike. These Japanese bikes have half the parts compared to the Aprilias that I currently restore and you will always find spare parts. Shame I'm so far from you, it would be funny work together.
What about old/new and put on 2018/2023 plastics, tank and seat with retro graphics. Newer model suspension with the newer yz wheel set and big bore kit for all the power. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Great ideas, you’ll love this: czcams.com/video/svQ_3hbXOeI/video.htmlsi=G-4GHBejleyE0f9j THANKS FOR WATCHING!
“Bane” born from the darkness, bat killer
I freaking love that movie
The previous owners sale post said no low ball offers and don’t BS me I know what I have 🤣
“Vet owned”!!!! 😂
Happy Thanksgiving guys!!! How about project Dirt Bag?
Same to you brotha! It is indeed a dirt bag!!
You too! That’s a good’n
DULL BATTLE AXE
I think y’all should keep it period correct and use all the killer colors the 90’s had
We like where you’re going with this…
Keep on plugging away. 🤠🇺🇸👍
Party time, my friend!
@@mxrevival oh yeah. 👍
Without full on sponsorships this bike is a money pit of bankruptcy but hey at least the front wheel rotates.
Thankfully we are well-connected these days! Otherwise, we’d go broke just like you said 😂
C’mon Rob, the rear spun too…. A little.
Name-The Master Clapper 😂
Wow torched by the sun... just alittle
Thing is on another level of char!
Project Tony's Tingler!
Edit! Chaz what you said about If you want to do something in life just do it... That's the realest shit you have ever said and I hope everyone is listening! Good job Chucky boy!
Thanks G, it’s to to uncork the real personality a bit more on the channel
@@mxrevival solid life advice that I wish I learned a lot sooner in life!
Thx, nice Video ;)
🙏🫵
Ive got the frame guards on my 03.
Nice!!!
The Wheely Mammoth 🦣
At least some baby elephants somewhere on this bad boy…
Check dis 💩 out dough
A Chicco Chiodi '97 replica would be pretty sick and very fitting for this poor bike! 💙💨
I had to Google him & I was not disappointed. What a rad look!!
@@mxrevivalthose Italians….
That's a dried uterus if I ever saw one.
Not sure of the size or time but Maybe a dark blue Miller bike livery
That would be cool
Thoses old plastics does not look good. Its not old enough to be vintage or nostalgic. I would go with white 2024 yz 125 and 450 front fender/ numberplates and the 30th anniversary white, blue, purple pink theme. thoses colors are rare. Would make a nice powdercoat color combo.
I was telling Tony that the 2024 front end is so round again, that it might actually look good with the rest of the 97 body now
What's the intro song called??
Project Crusty Demon
An era unlike any other!
you gotta name it rusted nut
and you should make it a dunes bike!
Rusted & busted!!! 😅 dunes are fun as hell
Clean period correct, oem + style
We got you! With some twists of course…..
that bike got violated!!!
Bro! Yes! 😅
Call it the "Soul Patch"
😂 that’s one thing Tony, myself, and “Larry” have in common
Code word - Cat 💩
"Wife's making me sell, just needs carb cleaned, never raced, no low ball offers"
“I know what I’ve got” 😂
This thing is a “Crusty Demon of dirt” if I’ve ever seen one. What about doing a throwback to the Crusty, LBZ, SMP free ride🖕era of the sport? This bike is the right year for that. Anybody remember Brian Deegan’s Moto XXX’s gold glitter race bike?
you should name it "Lary's bike". because you can tell he has rode it for the longest.
Literally laughing out loud right now 😂
Go Larry!
Alright hear me out... that thing had a southwick tire on it so how about a John Dowd factory replica!
I'll google it!
@@mxrevivaljunkyard is a baddddd dude. Still probably top 10 at the wick National as a 50+ year old
What's the intro song?
