Your top five bikes you've owned
« on: June 22, 2015, 03:36:57 AM »
If you could have five bikes that you have owned and/or do own to take with you to a fantasy land of dirt bikes only, what would they be?

My Top Five (in no particular order)

2003 KX/KDX Hybrid
2004 KX 250
1987 Tecate 4 - man I regret selling that one
1985 KX 125
1983 KX 80 - my first race bike

Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

03 KX 250/88 KX 525/2017 KX250F - Goliath
17 KX250F/04 KX250
04 KX 250 - Lunchbox's Bike
05 KX 125/144

Only 5... man this is a hard one...


1) KX500 duh..
2) 2000 Husqvarna 125 <3
3) 1996 Husqvarna wxe 360 What a bike....
4) 1996 KDX 220 The worlds fastest slow bike
5) 1996 Beta Techno 250   It's fat and slow but you can only go fast for so long  :-D


Sure I could have picked the 14' Beta or the 14' KTM but there only modern bikes for now... Difference in the 14 beta 300 and 14 ktm 250? nothing... the air pressure in the tires... the grips... nothing. The difference in the 360 vs the 500?!? the 220 and the 125? ^ 5 bikes that feel soooo far from each other yet you can still have the same amount of fun, variety, that's what I want in my fantasy land.

K5
K5 big wheel
86 cr500
Rally twin, ninja 500ex powered dual sport
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147747
& a "new" 300 beta or ktm

I think the variety idea is great, so many types of terrain or adventures

I'm an idiot, like that's news. Stuff you've owned, duh.

Building the rally twin so that counts right :roll:
AFKX550, rocked, tight to work on small fuel tank but excellent bike. Working on helping it get shipped to Thailand for the friend that bought it.
86 CR500 Got it still, Magoo telling Honda more power :mrgreen:
1983 YZ125 , Just a fun bike
1995 RMX250 Gets no love yet just goes & goes

3 outa 5 were dirt bikes!

In the realm of fantasy I would have one of the carbon fibre framed bikes with a bored and stroked k5 out to 640cc to push it along with a motard setup. A KTM 300 for bush bashing. Talent, I really need talent still haven't found a shop that sells it though.

'83 CR125...couldn't kill it, period!
'88 KX250...my 1st green bike, that unfortunately got stolen 2 months after buying it brand new.
'91 KX250...waited for the 2nd year of the new generation chassis, for the bugs to be worked out.
'93 KX250...the bike I turned "A" rider on.
and my '95 KX500 I presently ride.

I had several KX250's in between, but these were my fav's.

Well played sir.  I guess I would have to be younger (and thinner) as well, otherwise I would crush that 83 KX 80.   :-D
