    My first motorcycle was a 78 YZ125 back in 81. I even had the classic Bell Moto III helmet your stylin in. Great memories

    Damn you bring back such good memories for me. I remember Bob Hannah very well he signed a couple of autographs for me over at Unadilla motocross track, back in mid 70's . Love seeing the Cycle again. You Rock Sir. :

    In the unlikely event of a water landing... your seat can be used as a floatation device.
    That seat is huge!

    You're absolutely right about that bike there's no reason why you shouldn't win. Except for the fact that would crash that thing out so hard now, same as I did back in the day. Just remembering when....👍

    I had a 1979 YZ125F. The bike fit me like a glove, and was easy to jump/fly. The chain rollers/rubbing blocks were kind of goofy on these, and the rear shock would heat up and fade, but I loved it. Of course, I wish I still had it...

    When I was a Kid walking home from school daily I'd see this same bike leaning up against a tree in some Yard , I know it was some Japanese owners house it was New then , I watched it Rot away for 10-15 years later , across the street was a 68 Chevelle sitting in the yard the same thing probably sat there years before I was born , Japanese owner that I asked the old lady who owns it she said her Son's car , lots of people ask she said he doesn't want to sell it watched it Rust away since the 70's -90's , Strange

    Those bikes are fast! I had an 89 CR 125 and this kid had an 81 yz125 and I was like the kid to beat in my area he said he would beat me in a race and I was talking all kinds of shit I have a new Cr that old pos isn’t beating anything now this kid was like 300 lbs so it was a drag race and when he finally came with that old yellow beat up yz he had me by if I remember right like 2 bike lengths I was shocked so we switched and it was noticeably faster I was 12 and I remember getting a little scared cause the Cr was the biggest bike I had rode at that time.so I did the logical thing made his fat ass come to the track where i put a hurting on his feelings .That shut down any talk of his bike being faster even tho I knew it was.That was a big surprise and the reason I was so sure I was gonna smoke him was because the white yzs when they went liquid cooled had nothing for the Cr matter of fact I think they were the slowest of the big 4 back from I guess 86 into the 90s. But I am still to this day a bit intimidated by those yellow yzs funny how childhood stuff stays with u.
