I just KNEW there was something really cool about your boy Ken !!!   Greeeeeen !!   WOOHOOO !!!  ;D

You might as well just go Green too now mate - after all you want your bikes to match his ...  ;)

I had a B2 (1980) KX80 back in the day, but I would guess they are light years away from a liquid cooled, front disc 83-84 KX80.

Mr hardo may give you some KX tips to ken,
I have never seen a swing arm sliced up like that before from the rear sprocket bloody poor sod.

Yeah.... thanks Mick... I sure killed that swingarm !  :-\

The KX80 was the pick in 1984 with its front disk brake. I had the 84 80 and 60 both seemed like a good thing back then.... then upgraded to a 1987 KX 80 didn't notice much difference other than it was a lot slimmer? I always wanted an 88 KX80 but never had one as it came out with a rear disk brake.

This is just me but i always thought the 85 model was the best KX80.
Even compared to the 86 model the power was a lot more smoother
suspension less harsh but a touch on the soft side.

On a YZ80J there were the usual riders I could not beat in my class.
On a 83' KX80F1, they couldn't catch me!

What an awesome little bike that was. 8)

Here's a pretty cheap 84 KX80 Ken, not pretty but a fair price and only 1 day left....
