    its crazy a few years back if a dirt bike looked like that with numbers you would walk away, both of them look like they have been rinsed their whole lives but now guys are falling over themselves to get one...anyone anything will do. i am surprised it had such good compression my next thought would be the gearbox is funked as bikes with good compression like that are usually still being ridden

    They are money pits ! I just completely restored a '96 KX125. I spent way to much money and time on that bike, and after finishing it March, I hated it. I guess I'm spoiled riding modern KTM's so I sold it a couple weeks ago at a loss but enjoyed building it. No more old bikes for me.
