Love love love to see how pumped/excited Ken gets watchin old motocross races! He eats/sleeps/breathes this stuff!! Funny how helicopters were used to video over the motocross track,replaced by drones now.
1996 sure does bring back memories I can't believe time went so fast sometimes I feel like I was robbed of my youth but I guess that's just the way it is time flies by
My dad has a RM250 i think it's a 1978 model that his friend used to race back in the day & won some championships with the bike still has the racing numbers on it & runs like a champ
Love this channel and all the badass bikes so much. Pains me to know I'll never get the chance to ride any of the bikes on this channel in the condition they're in. Always flawless.
I remember subscribing when you guys only had 300 subs. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford a bike at all right now but you guys keep my love for bikes going. Thank you SR and JR. The 96 kx250 is actually my dream bike
I don't know why but out of all the 250s throughout the years the kx 250 has always sounded like an open bike i.e. 500 . It's got such a deep throaty sound!! I'm not sure because I've never compared the specs but I would be willing to bet that the compression ratio is substantially higher 5han the other big 3
Brings back oh so many lovely memories, the good old days when bike's were bikes and not just 4 strokes. Lovely to here you get all excited watching them race lol me too.
Thats my bike ! I want it back ! Just kidding , you guys have to admit the 250 2 stroke is the perfect mix of power and precision handling. I absolutely love mine and stomp on all my friends that ride 450 4 strokes with me at the track. They can't match it.
One-of-a-kind demos from a one-of-a-kind motor sport dealer. Kap does a decent job of putting these panty magnets through the paces. His love for these bikes is the truth serum when it comes to getting what you pay for! Top flight experience for the buyer...
I left this video after to go rewatch that Race from 1996 !!! man good times back then! I was still on my Kx 80 at the time of that race, being in the living room watching it on tv with my Helmet on in the house lol ! what a Dork but what kid didn't do that haha
Sr.... you're the epitome of seniors. Lol. I miss living in the Berkshires/NE. Was a great place to grow up. That being said.... You need to pack up shop, family etc. and move out here to Colorado. Many, many places to "plant your flag" and open up shop. Then you can have actual places to ride. Literally millions of acres and thousands of miles for OHV fun. Not to mention... it's the best F'ing state. Ever. Twist a grip!
I have a wr 500 now it's a legit 504 cc. 16 44 gearing porting head mods 40 mm flat slide from kx. Terra flex USA tire. Pink shock spring tourqouise seat. None of OEM stuff is on bike but still have in boxes. Ride in Dez in so cal. Never walked or towed back.
Bought a 96 KX250 in 1998 as a leftover didn't like the purple but probably the most explosive bottom end Bang of a 250 motor ever not a bad top end either that thing had some power had a lot of fun with that bike
I love the 90's vibrant colors with the purple/green/pink on the kx's. I love Honda too but the kx's just have a special place in my heart. First bike I ever had was a 99' kx100, I still have the bike to this day. Planning on restoring it soon and ripping it around some.
I can’t wait to support- liquidating my E*TRADE account to expedite my trip to the museum faster. With a stack of cash and a tip- just hope I get senior and the entire team to christen the bike. Man that thing is gorgeous- dimepiece ! Love that word ! Ok back to the video my bad- I’ll shut up lol
Mixing gas and hauling ass! I bought a Husqvarna 250cc 2 stroke from 1989. I didn't know bikes from the 80's had so much power, it's awesome! Cheers from Sweden!
I had a 98 kx 250, it was an amazing bike, i later bought a brand new 01 cr 250, also a fast bike, probably faster than the 98 kx but it had a top end motor and the kawi had a bottom end motor but was extremely fast and handled better than my honda in my opinion.
Bike sounds GREAT!!! Almost had that 500 bark to it!!! That's it you guys hiring?? I'm packing up and heading across the states! Lol. Keep up the awesome work guys!! The positive attitude is refreshing!!
Had a 96’ kx250 brand new and then bought a 2003 kx250 brand new. I loved those bikes. The 96’ was quicker from the factory than my 03’. I’m not sure if it was the suspension setup or what but, the 96’ handled whoop sections and rhythm sections much better. Eventually the 03’ got an ohlins fully adjustable shock makeover with springs and all and after that it was lights out.
It’s definitely a duck - dude can’t wait till you guys are on cable ! That purple!!! Sooo cool , I love the work orders, the information. #learning !!!! 🤝🙏🇺🇸💪🏻👍🏻
would love to see this drag race some modern yz250's hell even the older ones.. a few 500's swap riders etc... would make a great video.. keep it up, love the videos!
I own the 98 version running perfectly and it’s just as fast as ktm 350 in a straight line but a 450 ktm is just faster, if we want it to be true or not
Yeah this motorcycle is a great idea for a responseable 17 year old... but I’m not sure if I wanna go back .. used to run a 1990 cr 250.... currently xr650l but never again with an explosive 2 cycle much too much for a 47 year old man but the kids will love it
I had a 96 new. The blue purple tanks always were a love hate relationship...but the 96 decals were pretty cool. I was 14 at the time. Prob should of kept me 96 along with my 97 cr125
Hay guys like the vids and all the old school 2 stroke my bikes I live in new zealand and I've owned a couple my best was a cr125 98 I think 2 stroke over 4 stroke any day keep up the good work with all the vids you guys put up and stay safe with the whole covid19 stuff
Got a 97 kx250 and has power to spare. Mine has the 97 factory kawi graphics and seat cover, fmf shorty and race tech suspension. Showed the alta E bikes being demo'ed out the what for
Dude there's a guy in South Florida right now in Lehigh Acres selling this 96 KX250 all original just as good as mcnasties with all OEM Plastics and he's selling it for 2500 and now I think someone could definitely make money at that price in the really cool thing is the guy has a street legal title for it and has a light kit on the front and on the rear end amount for license plate and it's really cool that would be so awesome to ride that beast on the road it's still available so I know it's a bit far for you guys but you probably make some money on that one
Nothing beats the sound of a great running 250 2 stroke!!!!
Love love love to see how pumped/excited Ken gets watchin old motocross races! He eats/sleeps/breathes this stuff!! Funny how helicopters were used to video over the motocross track,replaced by drones now.

That opening just fires me up everytime
I’d pay top dollar! This bike is so amazing! Bikes from 90-99 were my favorite the colors are sick and rare ! Much love to you guys from Atlanta
That KX250 is a beast, runs and looks like a brand new. love the colors of 96 kawis, my brother had 96 KX125.
I know who you are 😂💪💪💪
They are the uk graphics 😉
Brings back oh so many lovely memories, the good old days when bike's were bikes and not just 4 strokes. Lovely to here you get all excited watching them race lol me too.

Damn, I want that purple 96. It brings back the best days in mx for me.

That thing sings 😍 cheers for the inspiration boys! Just started making my own moto vlogs this past month 🤘🏼
Just a stunner! This is one of the most amazing bikes ever built😀👍🇺🇸
Another wicked MX classic. You's have them all.
He keeps putting up these hidden-away MINT bikes... 🏁🇺🇸🏁
Man you guys have some unbelievable bikes nothing left to say
These mid to late 90's KX250 motors are awesome! 👍 I have a 1999 250 💪💪💪
Iv got 99 to, bringing her back to life with 02 graphics 👍
@@empiresrikesfat Where did you get the graphics? I'm looking for oem Kawasaki graphics as well, but unfortunately they were discontinued by Kawasaki.
Another beautiful lawnmower! Sweet bike man; one of my faves.

The '90's.. when the color purple on dirt bikes was all the craze.
I have a wr 500 now it's a legit 504 cc. 16 44 gearing porting head mods 40 mm flat slide from kx. Terra flex USA tire. Pink shock spring tourqouise seat. None of OEM stuff is on bike but still have in boxes. Ride in Dez in so cal. Never walked or towed back.
I had one, first real MX bike I owned, what a blast! Good memories
Bought a 96 KX250 in 1998 as a leftover didn't like the purple but probably the most explosive bottom end Bang of a 250 motor ever not a bad top end either that thing had some power had a lot of fun with that bike
Oh wow this is fantastic, this bike is beautiful. It's a privilege to watch your content.

This bike was by far my favorite looking dirt bike! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL colors! Always wanted one but never was able to get one!
U got to love the 90s 2 stroke graphics!!!💯
I can’t wait to support- liquidating my E*TRADE account to expedite my trip to the museum faster. With a stack of cash and a tip- just hope I get senior and the entire team to christen the bike. Man that thing is gorgeous- dimepiece ! Love that word ! Ok back to the video my bad- I’ll shut up lol
Mixing gas and hauling ass!
I bought a Husqvarna 250cc 2 stroke from 1989. I didn't know bikes from the 80's had so much power, it's awesome!

SWeMX Husky banana the swedish king. Tvåtakt är livet.

My fav throwback feature bike so far!

Better grab 50 pounds of grass seed....use across the street.
Not enough grass seed in the world.
Hang in there Ken you guys are mint eh 💪from Alberta Canada ✌️
Steel city was my first race as a kid. Art eckman was definitely the best
Art Eckman & David Bailey

This channel is to sell bikes yet so much more! Awesome job guys, love the detail
You need to record some of your 2 strokes and then release it as an album, it would defiantly make the top ten.
Wow super clean kx!! I'd take that over a new 450 any day👍
ON THE PIPE!!!!!!! YAA BABY!!!!!!!!
It does sound crisp as!! Luv it !
Sr. Is on the PIPE! Then the intro music! EPIC!
would love to see this drag race some modern yz250's hell even the older ones.. a few 500's swap riders etc... would make a great video.. keep it up, love the videos!
Oh I guarantee you Sr on the pipe with a honda or kx would smoke all the modern 4 strokes today.
I own the 98 version running perfectly and it’s just as fast as ktm 350 in a straight line but a 450 ktm is just faster, if we want it to be true or not
I have a 98 kx 250 and a 2015 ktm 350 the kx is so much more fun to ride
Yeah this motorcycle is a great idea for a responseable 17 year old... but I’m not sure if I wanna go back .. used to run a 1990 cr 250.... currently xr650l but never again with an explosive 2 cycle much too much for a 47 year old man but the kids will love it
That sound 🥰
