Some say it was the golden era of motocross. We ride a 1990 Kawasaki KX250 2-stroke to see what all the fuss is about. Crank up the volume and listen to that sweet sound!
To this day the only brand new bike I ever bought was a 92 KX 250. I was 19 and I loved it. I still ride a bunch (mainly trail riding now) but since then I’ve always paid cash for barely used bikes that are going cheap and usually kitted out with with all the aftermarket stuff that doesn’t make anyone any faster.... Save a ton of $ that way.
I still have my 1990 kx250 that I bought in August of 1989. I didn’t receive it until December of 1989. I haven’t ridden it in 15 years, but I still take it out every few years and wash it.
I shelved my YZ490 in 91 and bought a 90 KX250. Easiest bike to ride, very grunty for a 90 250. Not a ton of top end but you didn’t need it, just short shift and ride the torque. I liked the width, really gave me something to grab with my knees. For a rider over 6’ tall this was the machine in 90 if you wanted a 250. Wish I would have kept it !
I'm 43 iv just got back into MX but just track days no more racing . iv not rode for 20yr . but Jesus the 90's .. The muzic ! The rave scene ! The drugs lol ! Mk2 golf gtis and 2 stroke MX bikes phwoor what a time to be alive .. I'm goin 2 stroke again with a 03 cr 250 this time , I was kx back in the day
Ah yes, that wonderful two stroke sound and the plastic kind of smell of Bel-Ray oil. Can't beat it. I can still smell it today from the early to mid 1980's when I raced 😃.
