  • I found this garage find legendary 1981 RM125 when rescuing a vintage Vw Beetle a while back. You guys asked me to save this classic dirt bike so I went back and bought it. The 1981 RM125x is an ICON and one of the best Mx bikes ever produced. Will it Run? The revival continues with a refresh and first ride next.

    Hey Jason, I'm glad I found your channel, always wondered if you had one too. Havenn't heard from Darren and he didn't post his usual Sunday video. Wanted to make sure he's OK.

    I only paid $150 for mine, but it came in boxes. Piston rings were hanging out the exhaust port... Spent more money and finally got it running though. Lot of fun! (not for the neighbors)

    Nice to see you back, that bike brings back some memories. I had a 80 rm 125 in the late 90s. It was air cooled with dual rear shocks. That thing rattled my body so bad I could only ride 30 mins tops before my hands would go numb. Can't wait for updates on this. Keep the vids coming
