Absolutely fantastic video! WOW, I'm impressed! Rode Kawasaki since 1975 and love all these bikes! Again great job!

Love the 89s, the 92s, the 96, 97 and 2001. I had 92 and 2001 KX250. 89 KX80.

I had an 85 kx250 and I still have a 1990 kx250 I bought new in 1989. This video brings back memory’s. Thank you!

Just picked up a 1985 KDX200 a few weeks ago and I luv it great bike for trail riding very torqey

Great videos man! Please keep them coming. We all appreciate them

The 1994 KX look is the best for me. My dad bought me a brand new 94 KX80 big wheel that year.

I'll always love my first brand new bike. The 1984 KX 125 is still my favorite.

1990 definitely my favorite

The 92 125 was Awesome. I loved how they flatten the the seat out where you slide to the front of the tank better when going around turns

This was awesome!

5:34. It is amazing how you can see a picture from 40 years ago from a magazine, in a vid today, and it feels like puberty all over again. :)

I loved the look's of my old faithfull 1987 KX 125.raced mx and hare scrambles and it never let me down once.After it was stolen I got a 1991 CR 250 but to this day I only miss the KX125.

I had a 1985 KX 125. Still remember delivered to my house for $1983.00 from our local dealer. I was 15 years old at the time. That year it was the fastest 125 available. I loved that damn bike.

I had the 1985 KX80, the 1993 KX125, the 2006 KX250, then the 2013 KX450F. On a 2016 RMZ450 at the moment though haha. My personal favorite changes every year around June haha. I recon every year they bring out a bike, it's a dream machine 100%.

I've been following you for about a yr now...Your channel is 1 of a kind and awesome. Your collection is 1 that has to be worth a lot of $$ somewhere. TY for always giving us a walk down memory lane. My fav bike was my 1982 YZ80J as it was my 2nd bike & what I learned to race on. I had 3 of them, all set up different.

I always liked the 89 kx 80s, not sure why just loved they way they looked. A little before my time it wasn't till 91 before I was on a new kx60.

'90 to '92 KX Range Still looks Great - Had '91 KX250 with Blue Forks, Loved the Perimeter Frame, Wish they Made the 500 with the Perimeter Frame, That would be Sick! -Cheers👍😉🇦🇺

87,88,89 were the golden years for KAW

Great video mate! Would like to get one of this green 250 two stroke monsters😂💚 Kawi fam🤙

Being I'm an old MX'er from the 70's, I got one of the first 1974 KX 250's and again in 1978 one of the very first KX 250 A4's. I still love their old, but good looks... :)

The picture of the 85' 125 first person on the track, I remember that ad! Great memories...Loved the 85' KX's....I remember when the 1990's came out and being amazed at what Kawasaki had done.....1990 was a really bold, the perimeter frame really set the standard and we still see it today...Question, Did the reliability of the 2006 KX improve over the 80's and 90's KX's ? I remember even the bolts would just break on their own in the 80's.

The colour purple is regarded as supremacy in Japanese so maybe this is why they used the colour purple great vlog

Really? I thought it was just a 90’s thing same with jet skis all the brands just made really colorful stuff

84 kx125 is my favorite ever. The 83 KX I like cause it's different

Nice video.

My two favorite years are on here...years that I also was lucky enough to own. Had a 1985 KX 80, and a 1990 KX 250. Both amazing bikes that I wished I still had.

The 1996 Kawasaki KX's with the purple tanks are like the most sought after year of the bikes. Especially these days when all the 80's, 90's stuff coming back in style. I also happen to have a 1996 KX60 with the purple tank & shroud. I love it. Great little bike, with some mods.

The 1990 KX 250 was the favorite bike of "The Chicken" Jeff Matiasevich too.. He almost one the series on that bike..really like to have one of those myself..

1990 KX Range #1 👍😉

Those '81/82/83 kx models looked futuristic, uni track suspension, primitive disc brakes up front, crazy bodywork with the rear numberplates; I ended up riding Hondas , they had more parts availability

Me too I miss the green frame two stroke 250 Bring it back Kawasaki please ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I had 1988 kx 500, 1989 kx 250, 1990 kx250, 1994 kx250 ( best kx and mx bike I ever owned, brill suspension, smooth engine and still wish I never part ex it for a 99 cr 250 ) Ps I now have the 2016 kxf 450 and love it also 👏

Yamaha 1st honda second with better build quality,kawasaki 3rd and a deserved last Suzuki thats my take after owning them all.

I definitely want a last gen kx125. That bodywork is my favorite. Otherwise I like 87 88 and 89. But I agree that the 88 and 89 rear fenders are messed up.

You can play Lacrosse with that KX "number plate rear fender". Loved in Europe. :)

I know mine is not the popular opinion, but the green and gold '82's with rear fender number plate is my all time favorite, followed by the 79!

Well put together brother. Hard to go past the 94 for me

stripped a 93 today. frame resprayed , piston in the post. shocks rebuilt. power valve polished. You know the score on what's coming next don't ya

1993>1992 and 1994. The shroud graphics with the cartoon smoke are iconic now. Also, I loved everything about the looks of the last KX two strokes, especially that rear fender.

WoW, i owed half of these...

2003 KX 250. Best of the Best

I had a 1990 kx 125 back in 93. I wish I had it now.

I loved my 1989 KDX200- weapon! Could you do an enduro clip? I'd like to see one on the 1997 ktm 250 exc 2 stroke. I still own one of these and it ia still a really nice bike to ride

I like the 94 95 Kx. But I do like the all green on the 20 20s.

Great video! Grew up om Kawasaki and KX guys stick together.Team Green and high 5 s in the pits.My 2002 kx 250 with the Pro Circuit pro am team graphics looks the best! Last set of graphics and seat cover I have.Owned the bike since 2003.Old Earl May bike and I could not guess how many thousands I have in it.My old 94 kx 250 actually had more raw horse power.I remember my little brother's 1985 kx 80 was faster than his 90 kx 80 big wheel.So many posters of kx bikes on my wall and school locker.My 1987 kx 125 works replica was ugly compared to the 88 and 89 models I raced against.I get compliments all the time on my 02.Have the Transworld mag on my identical bike.Green Envy.Thanks for the video.Black wheels suck!

The 1990 kx 250 was a good pick when that thing came out it was the hottest bike on the market it made the other bikes look ancient. But you missed a few the 83 and 84 kx 80s were so cool looking it made my 82 yz 80 irrelevant over night and that 84 kx 125 looked just like wards bike still love that rear fender. How about those first kx 250s 1978 79 they were cutting edge with the green shocks and gold swingarm. I also love the looks of the kx500 1985 i wanted one of those bad as well as the 1992 500 it was the desert king looked like a baja bike to me just needed a light. I also liked the 82 kx 125 first disc brake water cooled and for some reason back then i liked that numberplate fender it looked European to me.but tha #1 pick I bought a 2015 kx450f right when the 2016 came out they were sitting side by side and thought the 15 looked better not to mention it was way faster.

I personally think the 97 250 was the best looking because I had one. But in reality of all good looking MX bikes, Kawasaki does not leave you the best to choose from IMO. All through the 70's, 80's and half the 90's, it was one or two of the other colors that turned the most heads. It made Jeff Ward a bit of a loaner.

Green frame kx looks good

Do some videos of the Enduros!! Like the RMX and KDX Bikes...and I have a Question....Who in the heck started this hard, narrow, straight Seats???? I hate them! Love the saddle seats...

My favourite looking bike is the 92 kx

You didn’t mention Kawasaki self cleaning rims and why they stopped making them due to buckling?

1992 and 1993 kx line was the best looking to me. The 1994 also looked great. The 1990 and 1991 honerable mention for such a big overhaul from the 80s bikes

2016 #4, 1985 #1, KTM &Husqvarna have a more unique look than the big 4 IMO

If you trust Kawasaki’s Dyno numbers, the 2003 KX 250 has the highest HP motor ever produced. 55.74

I loved the 1990 models big change and the 2006 models

Why did u delete most of your vids?

03, all day

The only thing worse than that KDX style rear fender is when people change it to a later fender, and it points upward, like an erection.

91 kx 80 or 125

I have kx 250 2008 because im from italy in europe last year of 2stroke japan bikes its was 2008 .4me 2008 model its most beatiful of kawa production dirtbikes.bye

I love ur reviews bro, but you put tooo much weight in stock graphics. Most only last an hour anyhow

Coin toss for me of 90, 91 or 92 for best looking..

Second place bike. The Kawasaki kx250 1990.. I think in my opinion it's ugly and beautiful at the same time. The front looks to the future when it comes to motocross bikes. But the rear part is still stuck in the 80's. Just compare the side panels to the shrouds! I mean it's years apart!

99-02 wasnt even on there and theyre the best looking bikes of all time from any manufacturer. You sir need glasses.

Shane Williams Sorry I was never a fan of that particular design in stock condition at least. The 1999 pro circuit bikes and Ricky Carmichael‘s factory machines we’re both amazing looking but stock I was not impressed.

The KX450F Was a sex machine 2016-2018 and this year it came out ugly

The Kawasaki's with the purple were the worst

The number one Bike is waaaaay Ugly!and its 4stroke! Bla!!!!!!

The purple is awful

I kinda like the 125s with that single radiator back then. I truly hate Kawasaki's. I remember in the early 80s Team Green was giving bike's and parts to every local fast kid in So Cal. In 83 I had a support ride with Honda racing the 250 pro class. I got hurt late in the year and did not receive another ride in 84 because I wasn't heald by the start of the year. Kawasaki gave me bikes and parts and they were such trash I gave them back and bought my own Honda. Kawasaki = Trash. Look how many KXs are on the gate at Anaheim 1. Next to none.
