  • Team Green Strikes Gold Kawasaki promo film from the early 1980s. No date shown but given that most of the bikes are shown with the side number plates built into the rear fenders this is from the early 1980s. The bikes had this style rear fender as follows: KX80 81'/82', KX125 82'/83', KX250 82'/83'/84', and KX500 83'/84' (according to the Kaw Model Recognition Manual).
    Note: my claim that this is from the early 80s (82-83-84) is based on the statement the narrator makes at the 2:30 mark. "And the new Kawasaki moto-crossers they brought" is spoken while showing bikes from that era. While he had just prior referred to a young lady as the 1986 home coming queen I think he meant she would earn this title later when she was older. I could be wrong. I am just trying to give a frame of reference---not do a forensic analysis of the video. Regardless of the exact year this was filmed it was a time of rapid development for MX and I highly doubt any manufacturer would take outdated models out on tour and present them as the latest offerings.
    Go Green!

    Billy Liles was one of the best! I loved watching him as a kid in Georgia. Just fast all the time.

    My friends father bought him a brand new (1982) KX80 BEAUTIFUL BIKE. None of us could afford new and always bought 2nd or 3rd hand older bikes. He kick started it, and drove it right into a storm wash basin. It was, a beautiful bike.

    I raced my 1980s KX 80 from 81 82 83 and 84 in Riverside California my kx 80 ran strong all them years everyone else got a new bike every year but not me in 1984 i got laughed at but when i out ran them i had the last laugh i changed my own oil and tuned the motor i even did the top cylinder work with help from my dad with his hot rod engine background he milled the head to give the engine more power along with reworking the carb making my bike sounding like a 250 kids back then would ask why does the bike sound different from there's
