Ultralight Dirt Bikes

Check out my 1974 TS90 that I was racing in early 84.

There were 4 x Rm 80's in the 125cc class on that day.

Cool, the TS90 obviously received a couple of period updates.

Not a bad way around rego issues.
Well, bad , but effective.

I'm not a little guy, wasn't then either, but I could take the 80 anywhere a KDX200 went, at the same pace.
(Couple of extra gear changes required)

I could restart it, if I stalled, by picking up the back wheel and dropping it back on the ground with a quick out and in of the clutch.

One of the easiest riding, best handling bikes I ever had.
When I built the SL100/125 VMXer, I built it as close to the RM80H dimensions as possible.

I have a TC90, in near registrable condition and a similar 83 XL125.

Registering a 'stocker' and then doing the lightweight mods might be the only practical option in the short term.

There was a sweet young thing working at the Sandgate Dept of Trans who didn't know anything about bikes.
A joy to deal with.

This bike came up recently on Ebay and I missed it. :'(
Peter Savage still rides one when marking out and sweeping.
