What happened to the rest of your list, Hoony?!
That's it Nathan, not many bikes in my 36 years. tended to keep them from late 80's on and had a 10 year hiatus when i bought a house. there was a few roadies in there as well but that's it.

1977 76 Yamaha YZ400C ( new stator cost almost more than the bike)

1979 ~81 2v Jawa 500 speedway
1979 ~81 4v Weslake 500 in Jawa LT frame ( blew it up on the Morgan mile, took about a year to save enough to fix it)

1979 ~1980 Suzuki T500 short circuit sidecar
1981 ~ now 79 Honda CR250RZ ( another favourite, ex Taylor Team Honda Terry Wigzell SA#1 bike with Jon Hawkins motor)

2006 ~ now 79 YZ80f for son to learn on - big mistake!

...and the fun continues!!!!!

good post this, cant wait to see Firko's list!!!
You'll be a bit disappointed, I've sold off many bikes, two in the last week and another going next week and another one of two on the go once the buyer makes his mind up which one he wants. I'm starting to like the idea of less bikes and more money in the bank so this might match the great purge of the late 90's when I got rid of about 10 bikes, mainly Maicos. Many of the following are projects but all, or most parts are here ready for when they hit the build area.......Here goes with what's in the shed now (or recently departed).
1971 Steens /Suzuki TS90 motor.
197? Yamaha GT80
1968 Yamaha DT1.....pre 70 racer
1968 Yamaha DT1.....DT1 from Hell.
1968 Yamaha DT1.....restored enduro........(sold to an ADB staffer)
1970 Maico 350....one owner from new
1970 Maico 350
1963 Maico KR250
1964 Maico 360 Metisse
1972 Maico trials special
1974 Yamaha TY250
1969 Cheney Yamaha 360
1966 Hindall Ducati 250
1970 Hindall RT2MX
1970 Hindall DT2MX
1971 Boyd and Stellings TM400 Suzuki (sold to a Brisbane racer)
197? Cycle Factory framed RT2MX Yamaha flat tracker
197? Fasttrack framed TM250 Suzuki flat tracker
1976 Shell OW72 750 Yamaha flat tracker
1981 Yamaha IT 250
1981 Suzuki PE400Z (sold to Frosty)
1959 BSA C15/Triumph T100A TriBSA PRE 60 project.
1965 Triumph 650 TR6R pre 65 project
1974 Trackmaster framed Yamaha 650 street tracker project
1970 Kawasaki Z1R drag bike roller.......motor sold 15 years ago but always looking for another one to go racing again.
Let me think for a while and I'll try and list the VMX bikes that I've owned and passed on. I don't want to think about the bikes I've had since 1969 though.
-
Lost count, to many to list ::)
-
I can't remember the years that I owned them, I got my first bike when I was 9 in 1980, so from '80 - current in order were:
'74 Yamaha GT80
'81 Honda XR80
'85 Kawasaki KX80E3
'84 Honda XR200RE
Then got my car licence and wasted heaps of money on cars.
Then got sick of spending money on cars and the bikes made a come-back
'93 Honda CR250
'84 Honda CR125RE
Then got my bike licence and swapped the CR250 for a road bike, and from them had roadies and traillies at the same time.
'89 Yamaha TT250
'89 Yamaha DT200R
'94 Yamaha TTR250
'02 Yamaha WR250F
Then had kids so the road bikes went.
Then got a company car, so the roadies came back.
Then got the VMX bug.
'81 Yamaha IT465H
'81 Suzuki RM465X
'79 Yamaha GTMX80 - project
'82 Yamaha YZ50J - project
'82 Yamaha YZ60J - project
'93 Yamaha WR500ZE - still have
'84 Yamaha YZ80L - still have
'85 Kawasaki KX250D1
'84 Kawasaki KDX200B1 - still have
'92 Yamaha WR200ZD - still have
And in between there has been 6 roadies.
There could be more but it's hard to remember :-[

Quoted from 090 "I have nfi since getting into Vmx..." Me 2 ;D
A similar thread was done many years ago.

Lots, can show bank statements as proof!! :'(

It all started back in 1977 with the first 5 speed XR75 sold in NSW, purchased at Coogee Honda.
It got stolen in 1978 and when I got it back, it was cactus, no back wheel and seized motor. Back to the pushie again.... a Yamaha monoshock with YZ80 mud guards!
1980.....CR80RA (new)
1981....CR125RA (2nd hand) It got pinched in 1983, never to be seen again.
1985....CR250RF (new)
1985.....XR500RE (2nd hand)
1987 sold the bikes and started wasting money on cars, girl friends, parties, surfing....good times but no dirt bikes.
Got back into bikes in the late 90's with a 2nd hand 1993 XR600
1998.... HRC XR630 (new)
2001.... XR650 (new)
Then the race bug bit again, this time mainly Enduro
2002.....CRF450 (new) Horrible bike
2003 FE501 Husaberg (new)
2004 WR450F (new) another lemon
2005 KTM300EXC (2nd hand)
2006 GasGas 450FSE (new)
and then I went to my first VMX meeting and I fell for the bikes, the sounds and the relaxed atmosphere. Started off restoring an IT490 Yamaha for a hobby, and the resto's haven't stopped since. Many restored bikes went to new homes. Too many to list here.
Started VMX racing....
1974 CR250M (Profab special with GEM reed valves) Now lives in WA. Nice bike but I really am a Fourstroke man.
1972 BSA B50
1974 CR/MT250 Hybrid (for no other reason than I had all the parts and a clapped out MT!
1979 XR500
At one stage I did have all the 1984 CR Honda's, including the CR60....all gone now
1980 CR/XR80 Hybrid (for no other reason than I had all the parts)
1974 XR75
1980 CR80RA
1979 CR250RZ RC replica
Then built an XL420 pre78 special (built to look like the bike Marty Moates raced for a short time in 1976) but with better suspension.
And just about finished my BSA B44 project.
Then there are the projects waiting.....should keep me entertained for a while ;D

What didn't you like about the 125 H?
I was wondering the same thing about the 87 KX 125?
-
Started life with a Honda CB72, it came in several boxes which now seems to be my current theme :o
Yamaha MX 125A great little bike that I really liked at the time, wonder if I would now
DT400 D new - fat slow pig
KX 250 75/76
KX 250 A4 - liked both KX's but only really trail rode them
KLX 250 81 new - loved this bike but grew tired of rebuilding it.
KX 420 80 - loved it as a trail bike
CR 250 82 - felt it was average
CR 125 83 - fun little bike
YZ 250 85 - nice enough bike but I never felt at home on it
KDX 200 86 new - great bike, I know own 2 of them (in boxes)
KX 125 87 new - Great bike, the KX and I became 'one' (now have an 88 in a box)
TT350 88 new - Nice enough as an ordinary trail bike but a lousy enduro bike
Montesa Cota 304 - bike of the devil, I couldn't keep it running!
DR600 - Great bike for open dirt roads
GPX 600 roady - My first and only road bike (the CB72 doesn't count) very smooth compared to the DR
Fantic trials new - (242 or 243?) Always enjoyed it.
KX 250 89 - My serious days were over and this was my toy for club MX, dirt track and pony express events
Kept the Fantic and KX for several years until the marriage, mortgage kids disease struck
-
What didn't you like about the 125 H?
All my mates went RM125X, but my brother had a deal on YZ80s, so went 125H. Didn't handle, wasn't fast, generally bad experience. Even worse tried a mate's RM and made my YZ seem even worse. The next year little bro was on Hondas, which wasn't a lot better for me.
-
What didn't you like about the 125 H?
I was wondering the same thing about the 87 KX 125?
I just got off an '86 CR125! The KX was ok without being great. Should've stuck with the Hondas. The 87 CR125 was great and I did a couple of races on my brother's which had a bigger carb from DG and PC pipe and muffler - made my KX feel very slow.

Got married.....
got divorced..
Sorry mate, I don't know whether that bit was supposed to make me laugh, but I did, for a moment, some reason I thought it as hilarious :D ;D
Nothing wrong with those Ts185's either. So much fun for buck. I am addicted too, last forever. If you get a Sweet & sour pit bike instead, nothin but two weeks of misery, and thats if you get a good one ::)
I bought this when it was a couple of years old
(http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv132/mc125mick/3595705e-1bde-4a36-b1d5-97a798588ef8_zps229ad9a7.jpg~original)
Had it for a few years, I loved it so much that when I had to sell it to pay for a dog divorce Lawyer, I sold it to a brother, dearly hoping it would come back one day. Freaking long time, but it just has, after a massive amount of years. I have to go and pick it up from near Grafton, NSW.
He said the plastics are shit, but he has just spent $800 on a rear shock and rear end bearing service/rebuild and fork service at that bloke in Coff's with the good rep, the one that knows his stuff.
Funny on the North coast of Nsw, they love the early 200katos, and they fondly call these a poor mans Kato, you can stop laughing now >:( ok, stop ::)
Anyhow she was one of my most favorite little darlings once.
It was a period when I was working my arse off, but when that alarm clock screamed, I used to think, crap, not again >:( Then I would remember this little babe was waiting to get me to work, play and explore. Middle of winter, middle of summer, I didn't give a shit, I loved the little darlin. Never broke down, never let me down. Always waiting for me with a smile, sweet little thing.

Don't worry mick, i did it bloody twice :o
Nice capable ride those PE's. use to borrow one of those from a mate in Taree. Lucky to score your old bike back. I only know where one of mine is and that's the GT750 and he isn't selling.
if you manage to find time and if your on the way to Gloucester take a spin in the Kiwarrak state forest between Taree and Nabiac, brilliant bit of riding country. Specially the southern boundary trail.
-
your "Livin in the 70's" eh
Yep, not only dirt bikes.
Had from the 70's:
Honda 500/4
2 x Norton 850 Mk 3
Honda 750/4
Kawasaki 900
2 x Norton 750
71 Harley FL
And then broke it up with,
67 Sporty
88 Softail Custom
Even today still have a 72 Norton 750.
Finally modernized myself with a 2011 Softail Standard (103ci).
