No KB171, the 1978 YZ80E was a monoshock, it may have even been the first 80cc monoshock, i yearned for one a a kid as a mate had one and it had the sweetest engine.

nah thats OK - the only reason I know was that was when I was lusting after a YZ C or D coz I had an XR - then moved onto bigger bikes coz I outgrew them.  My "vintage" period eh  :D :D

Hey Ross
You will note its a bit quiet this weekend on the forum as a lot of the boyz have gone to QLD for CD6.
I am 40, i mainly ride up towards your way Hartley and Jenolan etc, How long since you've ridden an old two stroke, That 125X will sound sweet, but it will rattle your teeth out of your mouth. Heaps of fun...
