      Chris Tsouras 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ how old are you? Cause i was old enough to remember when obama and the epa set regulations on 2 strokes as soon as he was in office. 08 which is why they never made an 08 2stroke

      Mr Gov euroman .China bought the tooling for the yamaha dt230 lanza and called it the tse250 that was thire first go at making a 2 stroke & that wasn't long ago that they did that its ashamed we dont follow & start re making 2 strokes instead of crying about climate change but we all live in a world where they would like everyone to be boring & do has your told if it was upto me I'd ban all the electric shite they make nowadays

    I’ve actually ridden a brand new one as an adult in 84(managed a dealership) and, like Sr., was blown away at how FAST it was. Crazy fun, couldn’t believe people actually bought them for kids though. Scary fast.

    Oh man the memories. My first racing dirtbike was a cr 60. Powerful little bike and won my first race on one in the summer '84. 125cc was as far as i went but the sound of the little cr 60cc took me back over 38 years. Thanks for post this video👍

  • @rabbitohsrule121
    @rabbitohsrule121 Před 3 lety +7

    That's just insane that a little 60cc rocket going that hard with Ken on it. It is just an example of how good 2 strokes from the 80's are. It's a criminal offence that that little beast is so iconic. The only thing that gets close is the KX 60. But wow how times have changed, cause mini bikes of today suck compared to this little monster.

Its been so long since I had the bike that I sometimes doubt my memory on how badass that bike was. Thanks for letting me know it wasnt just all in my head.

    Daaaanngg!! Killer machine!! Wow, wish I was 12 years old again. Man that brings back memories. I had a 1980 yz50 bought second-hand and then later bored out to a 60. That is a little screamer!! Beautiful piece of work. Keep up the perfectionist mentality there at the Museum. Nothing too good for those old vintage 2 strokes. You guys bring a lot of joy to us middle-aged old timers that used to ride those bikes back in the 80s. Keep it up!!
