My first "real" bike was a 75 KD 125 that I bought in 76 as a leftover. That exhaust sound really put a smile on my face!

[@kingdavidcoffee]

My first bike was a 1974 KS 125. same exact bike but with lights. Lots of fun.

This thing is sweet

[@garynicholson5177]

I thought the orange models were later 78 or 79. The 76s were silver tank with black fenders . Not saying it's not a 76 but the new tank is a later model

I have a 77 kd125 that I still ride on the original tires lol

[@sdime9858]

I had a used Kawasaki MC1-M 90 for my first bike and for Christmas 1979 I was going to get a KD 125 so me and my dad went to the dealer to check the bike out , well parked right next to it was KX80 and it was the first year for that bike even though the 80 was $749 compared to $729 for the 125 I ended up getting the KX....I always wondered what the KD would of been like

[@user-sh5dy5tr9d]

The KD had smoother power delivery and/or more usable power and torque at lower rpm. It didn't have the abrupt and strong powerband like the little demon KX. The KX is a motorcross/racing bike, whereas the KD is more for woods, trails...dirtroads. (enduro) I would say the little KX provides more adrenaline rush and the addictive screaming powerband. The KD is tamer, but also runs strong. I would say the KD is sort of in between the more street/trail KE series and the motocross KX.
....I would guess that the smaller KX80 might be a little quicker...but the KD125 would catch it and pass it...eventually... 😉

Note, I've never ridden a KX80, but spent alot of time on both the KD125 and YZ80 back in the day.

Back in the late 70's when I was in my late teens we used to buy these bikes, ride them for a while, then sell them and get something different. A 76, 75 or 77. They were considered used bikes. Dime a dozen look in the paper, you can get one in near mint condition for about $400. I had a 71 Honda CT70 mint in 1979 I got for $100, Yamaha 125's and a 175. 250's. Had about 6 different bikes back then. Never paid more than $400 for one.
Now look what they are worth.
