You have the three qualities required to make a great KZread channel education, personality, and entertaining content. I know it’s going to be a blast watching this channel grow!

There’s a fourth one pal. A hot mom

The look of surprise on his face when it started on the third kick was priceless!

When the music started I wanted a huge pop up caption that said "team america F-k ya!"

Glad to hear Dan is still around too! We need his insight to guide the maintenance.

You know Craig I am an old Englishman I am an RTIB qualified mechanic and tookthe technics route I started rebuilding BSA A10s Triumph T120rs moved onto Japanese bikes, to many to recall plus I have had some strokes so doubly so, however your rebuilds have brought back so many memories I am a little envious I still remember the highs of hearing a rebuilt engine burst into life, later in life I became a locksmith and I used to get the same thrill from picking open safes. Any way if you want to employ a cheap mechanic I would fly over and see you, unfortunately motorcycles were resposible for some serious surgery and I am waiting for my other knee to be replaced which will make 24 surgerys, I would just love to be round the smell and grease again and have plenty of time on Japanese bikes, I am at the moment living vicariously through you, I loveed the IT rebuild. Keep up the good work and all the very best I just enjoy your rebuild videos so much, thank you.

craig is a gem, he deserves to have this channel to blow up!

bruh everyone on every KZread channel has a comment saying the channel deserves to blow up! just STFU already & stop repeating the same bs over & over & over wtf does this channel deserves to blow up even mean? mf has 123k subs what more do you even want? Dirt bike channels never have millions of subs not even the famous riders who have channels so wtf

Man I love watching Craig build some bikes. Not even a bike rider myself but I love to watch the process.

Best part is that you did the entire rebuild in one single video. Awesome video man!

You are so charismatic and natural in front of the camera, you were a diamond in the rough . I'm so happy you started your own channel.

What a brilliant video! I love to ride, but doing a rebuild like this would destroy me and the bike. Great work by Dan, too. This channel is going to grow and grow!! Well done, boys! Craig, you crack me up, mate!

Best KZread channel of 2023

This channel is what we all wanted from Craig. Your calling good sir, I believe you'll find prosperity here!

The seat on the bike is killing me. Everything else looks really good. Good job craig.

Craig certainly deserved his own channel. Always interesting stuff to watch!

Awesome video--this brings back some memories: my best friend had an RM 250 in the late 90's and he 'got on it' a bit too hard while taking a turn on a mountainous road. He woke up about 5 minutes later and the bike was hanging in the lowest branches of a tree, by its handlebars, as he had wheelied it into the trunk and that torque monster literally climbed the tree! He nearly broke his collar bone (for the second time) and sprained his thumb. He still isn't sure what knocked him out but he was impressed that the bike had climbed nearly ten feet in the air in order to lodge itself that way! He had a heck of a time getting it down and had to replace a broken throttle cable and then he was back on the trails! That bike is far nicer than his--I hope you hang onto it.

Glad to see you doing your own thing. Excited to see your progression

These type of videos of tearing things down and building them back up in a wonderful manner really strikes my interest. I usually watch vehicle engine teardowns and have really wanted to see the two wheel side of engine teardowns/rebuilds and this channel is exactly the place for that. Please keep uploading videos gentlemen!

This episode brought back some fond and terrifying memories for me! I went from a cat 4 hp B&S mini bike to a near new 74 TM 400 Suzuki like my hero Roger “D” rode. it just about killed me several times over! That bike was so far over my riding skill level and was known for its hard to manage handling and power band but, what a terrifying thrill ride. My next dirt bike was a new 78 RM 250 what an advancement in suspension technology. The RM helped make me a much better rider due to its much improved handling and tamer power band . My body reminds me every day of the multitude of times my TM 400 bucked me off of it! As always stay safe and healthy! Ron

Love watching people's reaction after they fire up an engine they just rebuilt. Great work, bro.

The mechanic in me is happy to see the rebuilding process for more bikes!

As a kid I wanted a '99 RM80 so bad, I love Honda, always have, but something about those late 90's Suzukis just made me want one.

This guy know what hes doing and being so entertaining at the same time GOLDEN! We love you Craig!

Thank you Craig for bringing back that 2 stroke

What I rode at HighPoint in 96 at the Nationals. Never have I ever been so muddy in my life. 🤘

craig, guys, by far this is the best automotive/motorist channel today. You guys have such great chemistry, while also getting stuff done and being entertaining (aka funny as hell!) at the same time. thx is not enough!

Nice!! I had a 95 RM250 and a 98 RM125. Cool to see you bring this one back to life!

Great restoration. Motocross development advanced so radically after my motocross days were done in the mid-1970s.

Finally a Craig channel. Yes please.

To take this bike from where it was to where it is in one video is awesome. Great guy, great mechanic. I think I'm going to like this channel. I guessed 3 kicks too lol.

I started watching Craig when he was the mechanic from the bikes and beards channel about six months ago or so, then I figured out that he had his own channel. Never looked back. I love how he brings a realistic funny aspect to working on bikes and still keeps it very informative. Keep up the great work Craig, I look forward to every video you come out with

Always wanted a Craig channel 🎉🎉 I like the style, can’t wait for more and to see some cool new mechanic tricks

I like this because its not like all those other over the top builds you see on youtube where they never even ride it and it just sits in the garage. 😂

So happy to see you doing your own thing, keep it up Craig!

This channel seems great and continues the legacy of bikes and beards

I had a 1998 RM250 in the early 2000s that bike was So fun. I used to ride it all year round even in the winter time In the deep snow in northeast Ohio.That bike never like to start In the cold even with a new piston and rings! I had it out in my shed I would put an Small space heater right against the engine block for about an hour Before I would go ride it .Great video brought back some good memories Keep up the good work!!

The IT175 behind you is my dream bike ..fun fun fun ..

Dude love this format! You took the time to explain things, Dan got great shots and made a great montage. Keep it up boys and this channel is bound to grow,

Awesome video. BnB and now another descent channel for me and my 2 young boys to watch together. Good job guys

The only Ridgeline owner that actually uses it as a truck. Usually, Rodgeline owners carpet the bed under a cover and use them as some kind of station wagon. 😂

Sweet, glad to hear Dan the man stayed.......

Thank goodness Dan was there. Saved the entire project. Very best of luck with the channel gentlemen.

I had my doubts when you were going on your own, but this content is fantastic.

Craig finally has his own craig im so happy for him

That bike brings back some great memories. Super sad day when I woke up one morning and found it missing 😢 i’ll never forgive the person that stole it from me.

Good job! Love to see you guys do a chopper from scratch. Love to see familyman do things that keeps them young. Keep up the good work.

Great Video, Craig you have such a genuine personality and are a natural in front of the camera. Keep this up and I predict this channel will surpass Bikes and Beards one day. Its rare that I watch any youtube video without fast forwarding through at least a portion of it but not with either of the two videos you've released so far. Keep this up, truly exceptional content you're producing here!

I love watching you fix things up!! Inspiring

I love the sound design on this video.

What a gem bud I love me a mid era rm!! Takes me back!

Amazing Craig well done again!!!! GREAT old bike well worth saving.

This is why I like this channel, fresh build and didn't go crazy on it when it was first ride, people really don't know what break in is and it's good to see it done properly, Awesome job

Good morning, I really enjoyed watching this video. The sound of the bike firing after the third kick took me back a few years . Keep up the great work putting these enjoyable videos together. Thank you

I had to subscribe as I couldn’t lose out on Craig content.

Great craft on resto and thank you for giving this bike a second life.

Fantastic show! With Craig’s personality combined with high production quality this will grow quickly. Congratulations!

You need to think of motorcycles as ageless! Not old! I was 26 when that bike was in its prime. It served a purpose that it was built for. Today's motorcycle is also built to do something more! Travis Pastrana showed what could be done with the bikes you call old and helped create the bikes that are more capable today! Besides, every second hand bike is new to the purchasers. 😊 I used a shop rag to rotate my circlip out of the bottom of the crank... Separating the crank to retrieve it was not happening!.. 😅 Great job, it looks nice! I knew by the 3rd kick it would start, I had faith in the build because you did everything I would have done. Also, thank you for the fork centering advice, using the front brakes to let it find the equilibrium!

Craig is the best advancement to KZread viewing since since that other whacky bearded motorcycle guy😉

Old school "Basket case" that is so cool, another vintage motorcycle resurrected from the dead and saved from the crusher. Once it's gone it's gone

Great job Craig. Congratulations.

Love the story with the build. Hopefully more dirt bikes to come. Good luck on the new chan!

Yet another epic build, thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to see what you get yourself into! Go Craig!

I have watched almost 2 minutes. The quality of the video is amazing

So happy to finally see you with your own channel!! Keep pumping out the content, can’t wait to see what you do on your own and with B&B!

Awesome, thanks Craig!

nicely done! this turned-out EPIC, Craig!

That bike looks insane!!! Immaculate work.

Glad to see you finally have your own channel. Hope it blows up love the content it's authentic!

Hurry up with more vids. Love watching while I work. Glad you have your own channel now Craig!

So satisfying to watch. Nice build. Thank you.

Craig for the win , good luck in your new adventures.

Craig is the man and can't wait to see more content!

I love my 96 DR350. Wish they still made these bikes

Wow what a overhaul!

Brilliant job Craig, looking forward to seeing more of the same content!

Another really really enjoyable video. Well done Craig.

What a truly satisfying video / build, Craig and Craig's side-kick! Thank you, and keep it coming like this. Great success to you guys!

Beauty of a bike 90s were best years of motocross

Box of motorized thing. My favorite!

Geeeeeeeeeeeezzzzus man I love the 2-stroke sound. Next one ya get I wanna BUY it.

I watched his other video first, he had just over 21k subs. Now he has 24k+. He’s gonna do well! 👍🏻

1995 RM 250 2-stroke was my first full sized dirt bike and will always have a special place in my heart. Thing used to scream and go through spark plugs (the sparkplug issue was probably user error and not a whole lot of bike knowledge on my part). I loved that bike.

outstanding content..... great build... I love dirt bikes from this era

brother really went and restored my dream bike

Love watching you put stuff together and am looking forward to what else you have in store for us!

Love watching Craig wrench on bikes and Dan adds good chemistry! You guys have great content!

Just found your channel great mechanic for bikes and beards. Thank you for continuing to come up with great content

That is beyond amazing. Wow. Well done. 🫡

I had a 94 rm 125 I loved it alot of years, YEA CRAIG YEAAAA!!!!

Fantastic video, love watching rebuilds like this

Your my hero!!! When I grow up.... wait, I am older than you. Anyway, well done.

great video, love how he explains everything it notice that he loves what he does, Dan must draw on that knowledge

Cool, I remember having posters of this bike on my wall as a kid. The YZ, RM and CR we’re legendary!

I know I'm behind on your videos but I'm loving the new format. I like getting to see more of the wrenching. Great work, man!

Craig, If I had one tenth of one percent of your motorcycle knowledge, I would be a very happy man.

I need more of these rebuilds from craig

Great work guys, this is a great format!!! Bring Dan in more is awesome too

Craig, you are awesome! I just recently found your channel and can't get enough of it. Bravo! 👏

Awesome build, really liked the backstory as a Suzuki rider myself!

Why do i like this? Even though the beard is sprayed on... it feels down to earth and not edited too much.

Been a fan since the "Amazon Dirt Bike Torture test" video on Bikes and Beard a few years back, and you've been helping make top quality content ever since. While, bittersweet, it is great to see you doing your own thing now. Off to a great start, Craig!
