Most everyone had that one thing as a kid that if they could just attain it, would establish them as THE coolest kid in the neighborhood.


Growing up, it was first the XR75, and soon to be supplanted a few years later by the infamous YZ80






I remember having a picture I put on my wall so I could stare at it and dream of riding my YZ80. It was my porn before I knew what porn was. All of my dreams would have come true if I could just have had that YZ80.

I'd rock those bikes now. Lots of 80's designs were questionable but Japanese bikes were the tits in the 80's

Man, I'm so old that it was a color TV, but the swimming pool trumped that.

YZ80
My oldest brother got a used one. My four-year-old self decided to gas it up with Coca Cola. Looked like gas, might work, right? Oops.

Still feel bad about that.

A friend of mine had one and he could pull wheelies for days, and it would climb anything like a tractor. Good old four strokes. Can’t beat em.
