    As a young teen, back in the 80s, this was my dream bike. I spent days and hours at my local bike shop just mesmerized by this bike, but sadly; due to my family being poor, and no resources to pool my lawn cash together to make a purchase, it was a dream that never came true. Later, I set my eyes on the '85 XR350R, but again, another dream that had to be put on a back-burner. Regrettably, as time went by, I moved and my lifestyle and family demands kept me from getting any CR or XR that I had dreamed of owning. But of all the bikes, the '83 to '85 CRs and XRs have always been my obsession. Maybe, someday, I will buy one just to work on and restore, but it is unlikely that I will ever get the real chance to learn to enjoy any of these bikes the way they were truly intended.

    My first bike was a brand new 1984 RM80. Just listening to this CR scream going by brings back such great memories. Long live the 2 stroke. Best times of my life riding with my friends out in the country in the summer during the mid 1980s. One had a Honda 200 3 wheeler, one had a KX80, one had an XR80 and me on my RM80. We were all 12 and 13. I'll never forget the feeling flying down dirt roads and trails out in the woods. I'd do anything to go back an re-live even one if those days. Keep up the good work! Everyone agrees, These vids are amazing!

    I've been away from nesc Racing for many years but that bike looks like it would be competitive with a good kid on it
    I remember my friend's father his son always wanted aftermarket pipes excetera to make the bike faster and he said when you start riding that production bike talk to its capacity then we'll talk
