How did I miss this thread until now?

Lots of memories of these bikes - all the stuff that was dirt cheap in the 1980s: CT90/125, SL70/100/125, DT125, DT80, XL75/100, CL100 (or was it 90?), YG1, V90 step-through:D, etc.

I've got a TS90 in the shed, along with Doc's SL100, and my AT1 shitter and my AT2 project - but I really want a DT100 (one of the 'full-size' ones). Seems that everytime I find one, it's in triple-buggery, I'm broke or the Ebay seller is a cock-smoker...
There's also one of each of the three main incarnations of DT175s and the VMX-spec DT125A and CT1, but I think Tim's talking more about the smaller capacity, trail-bike trail-bikes.

Here's a pic of the AT1 when I bought it:


And this is the AT2 as it was a couple of months ago. Work has been embarassingly slow - it now has forks  and a front wheel, and one rear shock...

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Sub 200cc is what I was sort of "on about" you are correct Nathan. After that you get into IT or KDX 200s and they were (and still are) pretty shit hot stuff, and of course 250cc + are not really small bore in traily terms. The  piccies so far are just the sort of boys (girls too) dream bikes we all had or craved with a passion. Cheers Tim

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

You have used a hyperlink (planet icon). You need to use the one to the left (picture frame) (insert image)
