With all this talk of pre 90 racing what would be your chioce of weapon?
For me it would be a 1988 RM 250 , had one in the day back in the UK .Great all round bike, raced it in MX and Enduros even put lights and a moody rego plate on it and rode to the pub . 1988 was also the year my oldest Daughter was born so its a year of fond memories

Way after my time, I'm afraid. Were the fields dominated by the big 4 by then, or did we see any european brands still hanging on, eg KTM? Was the variety of early years gone?

Either '87 KX or CR 250, I think both Honda and kawasaki blew it in '88/'89
...the '88 RM got some good reviews also, but I've never been into them.

To show that I do indeed like pre 90 bikes, an '89 ATK 604 will soon grace the Firko shed.

87 CR125.
88 or 89 YZ250 would also rate highly.
I actually own an 89 KTM250GS, so it'll get used - even though it wouldn't be my first choice as an MXer...

for me its a 89 RMX 250 or a late 80s's TS250 X. Can use them for tail, enduro and MX which is much more useful for me. Or maybe a late 80's TT or KDX
