My dad got me this bike brand new when I was 13. We hid it at my grandparents house for almost a year before we finally told mom. Man, I wish I got to tell him later in life how much that meant to me. I miss you, Dad!
My Dad got me one too! (I love your story) I rode it for 3 week before the compression went out, it was used..Had Been Raced....Too Much.....So he got me a 1984 Kx 125 and I met God...But a part of me longs for that sound , the power it had for those 3 weeks...I miss it. I sold if for 150 to a motor cycle shop..I am touch by your story and can tell you that if you tell God to tell your Dad...That you will get much more than the Army Navy Air Force and Marine and UPS and Fed Ex And Us Postal Devlivering that message,,,my Brother..Be cool! You Rock
I remember every time I rode that bike I would return with horizontal tears and I would be shaking from adrenaline for at least 20 minutes. I would wake up in the middle of the night and go out to the garage to see if it was all a dream. I’d sit on it in my underwear and do some fantasy laps, doing one or no handers, one hand and one footers and I’d rock it back from on top of the crate like I was wheeling, and I’d take off a hand and make a peace sign like Doug “the wheelie king” Domokos. There ain’t nothing that smells as good as a two stroke!
I was 14 in 1989. My mom liked to garage sale Alot. She called it 'Sailing'. One of those times I wasn't sweating in the back of a station wagon in the middle of the summer w/ her she brought this home. As the story goes some elderly woman had a small shed in the back of her property that butted up against a large creek. It rained alot the summer and flash flooding caused the shed and its contents to be dislodged and swept away. Her things were recovered and the original owner grown and gone she decided to put it in her garage sale. Im sure she was asking more but my mom was a shark. She got my surprise bike 1980 cr80r for $80 and brought it home. Now I know she was gambling on this cause $80 was alot of cheap garage sale nick-nacks for her but she knew I had a knack for fixing stuff. She brought it home and I filled it with gas and it fired right up but I shut it down right away as the river slammed it into rocks apparently and cracked open the side case. I was motivated at this point and thanked my mom with joy! Long story short I rebuilt the bike from the frame up with all new seals and parts and paint. Thanks Dad for the many visits to the Honda parts shop..after $550+ in parts he was asking me "son are we almost done yet"? ;) Took me a year but at 15 I was rippin' shit up on the trails and I was hooked. I'll never forget that bike so thanks for the restored memory in visuals and sound from my past. 1980 cr80r for $80. Thank-you. 48 and still twisting the throttle
My friend got one these brand new in 1980 and what a ripper 6 speeds so fast for the time .i had a 1979 kx 80 at the time 5 speed not as fast but handled alot better and suspension was way better most guys liked my bike better but not me i like the power
@@kingdebary Got an '82 YZ125 a few years later. It was $1300. LOL! Wanted to stay with a Honda but one of Dad's friends had a brother who owned the local Yamaha dealer and they were after me to race one of their bikes. Wasn't nearly as reliable as the Honda.
Looks awesome ! What brand are those rear shocks ? Is that 1981 front forks ? I want to get my 1980 to have this stance like yours / it looks way better !!! Please let me know - thanks
@@kingdebary Ok, I thought you might recommend ebay. I just subscribed to your channel - didn't know you showed so many old school mx bikes ! Thanks again.
Yeah, but I still wish I had a collection like yours... Here’s what I got 1983 Cr60 1975 XR75 1983 XR200 1965 C100 Honda cub 1983 Ct 110 1958 Mini trail 50 Trail 90 (don’t know what year)

I will always picture my dad filling up the gas tank and looking over at me smiling….
With a lit cigarette in his mouth.
I remember that sound. Best Christmas gift
I'll never forget the first time I rode one of those as a kid.. couldn't stop smiling for days. Still pinning the throttle at age 51.
many of these bikes created great childhood memories

I had this exact same bike, they are very fast over 60 mph. Had a blast riding it. Was a ripping beast and I couldn't tear it up ran forever 😎🤘
These bikes were almost indestructible. Be sure to check out my other 70 + videos

I loved my CR80!!!!
They are very cool bikes
Thanks for doing this
My pleasure
Awesome, this is the bike I learned to ride on. My older brother had one. Had such good times on it. Thanks a lot for posting
What a beautiful little Elsinore
Thanks
@@kingdebary my dad bought me the 1981 model ! So I hafta say I have a soft spot for those baby Elsies
Thank you for restoring mx history
Beautiful bike 💯

Great memories! I have a video of a 79 kx80 on my channel as well
beautiful
Sounds great!
Thanks
Those lil 80's ripped. My CR 80 would stomp bigger bikes.
And we weighed less back then :)
Had one. Bored and weisco piston. Excellent machine. Drag raced a vw rabbit and smoked him. Also crushed my friended YZ 100.
those old aircooled cr's sound so mean!
My first bike
I have one for sale
i have a 1981 cr 80 and it's still fast as!
I had one new when i was 12. My father found the receipt for it in his garage a few years ago. $799 plus tax.
great memories!

Sweet little bike! I love the red motor and frame! I wonder how that would compare to the same year yz80
mikerafone music it comes down to the rider, they were both fast.
The CR’s powerband was insane! Advanced riders loved the motor. The YZ was more user friendly plus it had the mono shock.
Yz was better. I owned both.
My Cr80 smoked both KX80's and YZ80's of the same year and newer.
@@lmtadaNot at all. They were slow. I could give a yz250 a run for his money on my CR80.
My dream bike sadly in Austria (next to germany) there aro no vintage Dirt bikes at all
Thé nice byke ´poket cross 80 CR 1980 2T 👍👌

Where did you find the rear fender? I have the same exact bike and cannot find the correct fitting rear fender.
DC Plastics
Where exactly do you get these bikes? I have a few of my own, but they are hard to find.
There are a good amount out there. They all won't be in this condition but you can fix them up little by little.
Yeah, but I still wish I had a collection like yours...

1983 Cr60
1975 XR75
1983 XR200
1965 C100 Honda cub
