So beautiful ❤

Had one .and they are great and really reliable 1st year of the watercooler ..the kx models in those days were not built well but kdx was

Cylinder should be black

Great restoration I ride it’s big brother.

Still wish i had mine. That thing was fun. Even better when i found out it was an R and had more than 4 gears. Sold it to a friend before leaving cali and miss it every day since.

Wow, nice work, very tidy

Man Jimmy, this thing is incredible! Beautiful job.... Greetings from Muddy Creek, TN!

Great job jimmy done well on this beauty,👌 looks like a work of art

Very beautiful job on the bike. I had a 88 RM 125, my friend has a 86. Wonderful memories.

Hey man I have the same bike and want to swap a 89 kx250 swingarm, is it possible to your knowledge? Cant wait to see it finished!!

I've noticed you do not differentiate Between the word on and own. You use the same pronunciation for both words. Weird dude.

Got the same bike. It sat in my parents shed while i spent the 90’s and 2000’s in the military overseas. Then got married and kids. My parents moved and i needed to get out of the shed. It had an 1/4 of dirt on it. Air filter was disintegrated and a lot of dry rot. Just started ordering parts for it and they are hard to find, especially that carb boot and a boyesen rad valve! nice work and I subscribed!

I see a knee replacement coming soon

What is that frame color?

Sold mine restarted 100% mint and running for 500

I was wondering if you could help a noob; after months of weekend wars I rebuilt the bottom end of a rm65 (exact same as kx65). It's a 2003 and ran super strong until it wallowed out and froze up. That ended up being the crank shaft roller bearing going to pieces from sitting for about 5 years. Split case replaced fast fwd its all back together. However I can't for the life of me get the bike to start now. I have gone in circles checking compression, spark, timing, fuel... even with the carb out of the way and starter fluid into the cylinder; I can't even get a single pop (sound, a boom, a fire off, an explosion). So probably something really dumb (some little thing somewhere) is happening? Any ideas?

Nice score, she's a runner. I remember i was riding my 79 IT175 in the trails one time and came across a guy on a brand new KDX 200, i want to say though maybe air-cooled bike still. Maybe this was 1985 or so, first time i saw one in person and we ride together for a couple hours. Fun times the 80's were, i actually still have my IT to this day. This will be a cool build! Sounded good too...

Nice bike, but i think the rear fender isn't orignal. I've got a 1990 kdx 200 great Bike! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

I 100% think you can get this bad boy fixed dude. I'd love one of these bikes!

Great bike. I bought a new one in 1989

This is the nicest classic era Kawasaki kx 125 I've ever seen. It looks like a factory bike. Great job brother.

My father had a 1996 kdx 200 back in 1998 and obviously it was a new bike. That thing surprised me how powerful and smooth it was. Strong bike and very reliable. But the people that had that kdx in this film prior to the man here those guys ran the hell outta that thing. But this man seems like he holds value in things that bike has a good home now. Good video buddy.👍

Man what a joyful project!! You wont believe it but I have similar bike projects. When mxrevival started the rm250 project I was doing mine, it was a big surprise when I saw you finishing the suzuki (mine is still on process) and then some weeks ago I bought a kdx 220 from the 2000s here in Spain and some days after I saw you bought one too in the first kdx video. I hope mines ends as awesome as yours! Cant wait to see how this project goes! 🤘🏼

the only question that matters/what did you pay for it?

One of my favorite looking bikes. Other than old Honda Rs.

i’m sorry to tell you this, but that’s not alligator. That’s a crocodile. You can tell by the narrow nose

Nice 👍🏾 bike life

So true. I worked as a tire tech at Iron Pony in Columbus, Ohio. Id get every wheel and tire combo under the sun. But those little bastards always broke the most curved spoons 😆

Omg I love that thing

1988 cr125 was the bike I sold after holding out to I was 18 in order for Dad to help me get my first car back in 1987. I cried as it drove away! Lol BUT my car was a 1979 Camaro "who" I owned for 23 years. Dad talked me into selling that one too because I kept it in his garage and hasn't driven it in several years. I cried when it left too!

Sweet scooter man ..be proud

Where do you get your plastics trying to get some now. Thanks great looking bike awesome job.

You’re not going to believe this, but I’ve got a 1984 CR60 project that I’m putting together, and I was just wonder how I was going to polish the tank out. I found a replica plastics kit, but my tanks (I have two) are scratched and faded. I’ll definitely be picking this polishing kit up. I have a few questions if you don’t mind. Are you using the original shock? As far as I can tell, it is not rebuildable. Do you have a line on where to buy swing arm bearings? My air box is in bad shape too. I’m not even considering trying to use it. Can’t for the life of me find another CR60 air box after years of scouring online, but I’ve heard that you can use the box from a CR80 of the same vintage. Do you know if that is true? Honda probably sold a lot more 80’s than they did 60’s. Anyways, thanks for this vid. Subscribed and hoping to see more of your 60 project.

Wow

Wow that is the best looking kx I've seen in awhile what is this bike worth would love to have it i just recently restored a 98 kx250 almost as nice as this one just didn't buy new rims everything else i did though every nut and bolt was replaced and nickel plated plus i got 3 sets of plastics 2 black sets and one green set allbwith new graphics im not selling mine yet im storing it in my living room for now what did yours sell for i was thinking mine was at least worth 8 grand because i put a little over 4 grand into its rebuild 😮

Awesome restoration, I also have a 1986 rm125 that I bought in boxes off marketplace, I got it all together and running great but I was wondering how you got your plastics to shine that bright, I wet sanded mine from 300 to 2000 but they don’t look half as good as yours.

That is not a bike its a work of art it is beautiful 😊😊😊😊

Awesome work !!

Beautiful Bro!!!!😍

Good work !!

Please tell me you and your bike is going to be in Philly the end of April!

Very nice build and attention to detail only question is where did you find that front number plate

Strip the pipe and heat the welds. No one would know the difference. I've done a few

Good work Jimmy

Very nice work on the rebuild. I’m sure Brian will really appreciate all your efforts to make this bike as close a replica of his original race bike as possible. Well done 👍🏼

That is a sweet bike my friend! I’ve said it before, you do awesome work! You should be very proud of your collection! I’m sure it’s awesome having a personal relationship with Brian Deegan too! Nice!

You are missing the rear brake master cylinder green plastic cover. I can't find a photo of it online, but if you want I can probably send you a pic of mine.

kawasaki had the best bike designs of the 80's mx bikes, i especially like the numbered fender of the early 80's and the green and gold

Wow,that CR in the background is amazing. Those are the apple of my dirt bike eye!

Hey man I’m building a 89 Rm250 rn and would love to know where you got the fork guard adapters as those are 91 fork guards and I can find OEM 89 ones. Thanks truly appreciated.
