We’re going over my 1983 Kawasaki KX 125 in this video. This bike is really special to me since my first bike was a 1982 KX 80 with the same rear fender and body style. This body style is a bit of an acquired taste, most people who love the style of this bike have sentimental value with it, whether it’s having one when they were younger or for other reasons.

I got this bike from a motocross collector friend of mine, Mike, who kept it in pristine condition. These 1982 and 1983 bikes have become extremely hard to find and, like with all bikes, prices rise with condition. My favorite things about this specific motocross bike is the gold swingarm and rims. The colors match so well with he Kawasaki green. Before I got my first dirt bike, I worked after school and on weekends delivering newspapers. My parents weren’t well off enough to buy me a $1,280 dirt bike at the time and were not fans of me getting a bike. But my parents said if I saved my own money I could purchase one. I was twelve years old when I bought a 1982 KX 80 out of the showroom for $1,283.
