I wanted a 1984 KX80 as a kid so bad but my dad bought be a CR80 1984 instead because it was a little cheaper. The CR was so fun and good to me so no complaints. But I still wanted that green machine more.
Everyone wanted a KX 😂, my first bike was a yz 80 83, then I got a KX 80 87, then lastly a KX 80 big wheel 1991, I loved that bike, the 87 as well, the yz I had to many issues with lol
1985 KX80 started it all for me! An amazing machine that never failed me once ..on the track or trail. I maintained it well & it rewarded me w/ great reliable performance for many yrs till I got a new '94 RM125 my 2nd fave bike of all time! Go team green!
I had a 1989 and a 1991 Kawasaki KX 80 it was by far my favorite times riding when I was younger. The bike was so reliable and engine had a nice crisp sound I left them in stock and they ran great.
I had a 91 KX 80 big wheel, best of times, I messed up by smokin the herb and sold my bike to support my habit, I had potential to ride motocross as a career path, I really wasn't the brightest now thinking back what could have been, my dad used to drive me to the motocross track regularly
My Dad bought me a second hand air cooled KX 80 in about 1985 in the UK, it looked a bit tatty towards the end but man that power band kicking in was a real rush for an 11 year old let me tell you. Happy days indeed.
My first bike was an 84 KX80, delivered a lot of newspapers to buy it, worth every penny as it was a little beast. Sucks that I outgrew it shortly after, but a ton of fun while it lasted.
J'ai eu le KX80 de 1982 pour moi le plus beau avec son moteur à air. 19ch pour un pois plume ça marchait très fort ❤️ et malgré les tambours cela freinait aussi très bien 👍 Que de bons souvenirs...
When I was 8 I used to have a poster on my wall of a kx60 kx80 kx100 out of a motocross magazine all bikes in one poster lol had a ty 80 at the time ask my dad for 2 years for that kx 60 after staring at it day in day out an one day he told me he put a deposit on one never get that feeling again in life 😂👍💪
I had and raced the 81 model way back in 1981 when I was 13. The YZ was much faster that year however I never lost a race on it. I had trouble with flat back tires my first 5 races for some weird reason ( I suspect somebody was piercing my tire in the pits when I wasn’t around) it stopped all of a sudden. it was a very reliable bike, never had any mechanicals issues, only trouble was the suspension started to sag badly as the season progressed as I beat it up over big jumps a lot back then. Yeah good memories I have on my old Kx-80.
I had the 1987 one. Bought it in 1988 for $1,200, then swapped it for an Ibanez Universe UV7PWH in 1992 or 1993 I think. Today that guitar is worth $5,000.
I had 1, the cleanest bike you'd ever see, never ever had a problem with it, used to start first kick everytime, which is more than I can say about my YZ 80 1983
@@HOODKINGSofficial dont need to tell me lol Even had big headaches with a '97 rm80 but its a sweet looking year with purple seat. my DRZ is bullet proof go figure. but kx 80 back then was the one to beat. they would smoke many 125s haha
Always loved the KX ever since a little little kid back when I was playing Nintendo excitebike LOL wishing I knew how to ride a dirt bike my cousin had the KX 80 and I would always sit on the front of the seat up by the gas tank and put my legs up on the front fender and this hang on to the handlebars for dear life LOL he had like a little track set up it was so nice but would scare the s*** out of me LOL ever since then I've always loved that green KX 80 LOL Long live the funny thing though is I have a 1990 Yamaha YZ80 LOL I love the bike that I have it actually impressed me when I bought it but in the back of my mind I still want that KX80 and I'm 31 years old LOL still wanting it
Is ‘96 the only year with the purple shroud,,,,,,the ninja turtle 🐢 year….my son has a ‘96 kx 80….I wanna restore it for him , it’s a ripper though , big difference from his 2001 xr100r
The 1991 Kawasaki KX 80 = A True Adrenaline Canon, the first MX'er gotten from new in an actual box, Was the tool for getting the first trophy...And after getting Black Troy Lee Designs plastix on it, a daily source of fun annoying the cops in town with...Bye Bye A-Holes ;o)
The 92 didn’t have to conventional fork they had the upside down fork if you look in the video it looks like a conventional fork but it’s just the rubber sleeve protecter

I had a 94 kx 80 when I was young. Man that thing hauled ass!
Yeah I remember that, the green and purple combo, I had a 91 KX 100, customed it to be green and purple
My first bike was a 94 Kx 80 big wheel back in 1998. That bike is solely responsible for making me a Kawi fan boy
Nice, I had a KX 80 BW 1991, I thru a custom sticker kit on it tho 😂, before that I had a KX 80 87 model, great bike as well

@HOODKINGSofficial II had the 91 bigwheel. It was the best all around bike I ever had.
Purchased a brand new 1979 KX80 on the summer of 79 and loved it!
I had a YZ and switch rode with a bud that had a 79 KX. I remember it wanted to flip so easy coming on the pipe. Like everything was at 5000 rpm.
Awesome little bikes. Cool video with kick ass tunes. SOAD

Trial bike kid me started with TY80, but so wanted a KX or CR after trying one out. U chose well

I had 98 KX80, smooth kips power
Just started riding in 2020. We got a 2000 and fully restored it and brought it to race ready condition. Cant wait to get it back out.
Just bought a ‘91 last month it’s coming along taking it for it’s first spin through the town tomorrow!

Excelente la galería, saludos desde ARGENTINA.......
I've bought a 1985 kx 80 flys very clean
Love that you put S.O.A.D. over this
I was born in 87 and the Kawasaki always stood out. I had a 2000 model! First bike I ever raced! I loved this video!
Jus something about them kx s back in day I was kx mad think it because Kawasaki was the only one doing kids bikes from early 🤔👍

81,82 best looking and dominant at 80 class

Went to the store with my mother and the bike i wanted had a sold tag on it. I almost cried, then she said "it's yours"
1988 kx80 big wheel
1:18 1987 KX80 is perfection

88 - rear disc
Used to break those drum holder bars all the time
@@scottcox9108 no, youre right. But I consider dual disc the end of the old school era
I had an 88 when I was at school in the 90,s so I've bought a few 30 years later to restore there mint little bikes👍

The first bike I ever rode was the 94 KX80. It was awesome
I prayed in church that my parents would get me an 81 kx80
I got a 93 small
Wheel
Has the kx Witj smoke low hrs what’s it worth
The 79 was a super sweet handling machine. Power was blah though

I just bought a 1986 model today and it’s a project bike
Thanks for the heart! Wow I remember when I bought that hunk of shit. It cleaned up so nice. It fucking rips
💚
Had a 79 kx80. Put a kdx engine 175 in frame after 80 engine blew up
I love System of a Down
I used to believe in creation but now I believe in EVALUATION

1990 is the best looking
The 84 model in this video is incorrect. What is shown is the 85 version from the right side. The 84 had a black frame and a different seat cover.
Why does the 94 have usd forks
95/96 always had the best graphics scheme….i think the KX 80’s were the first of the big 4 80’s to introduce the rear disc brake….
And front 84. I had one.
Yes I believe so! My '85 KX80 had front disc when others didn't . Team green.
I got a 92 kx 80 big wheel when i looked at the video it has conventional front fork but mine has an upside down fork why is that?
Your bike was my dream bike when I was a kid . I use to drool at the pictures in the magazines.
The 92 didn’t have to conventional fork they had the upside down fork if you look in the video it looks like a conventional fork but it’s just the rubber sleeve protecter
love the 88
I have a year 2000 kx 80 and it scoots
84 model missed out that’s a 85 model
Ace song
I have a 1985 kx80
Same here man just picked it up today
i have the 1999 kx80
you spelt evolution wrong
Much respect for the video though
Can’t tell if you where trying to say evaluation or evolution
1990-2000 was the best
clearly dont know your bikes
