    Cool What motocross/pit bikes do you own/owned

    My first bike i got was a 120 thumpstar pitbike when i was 14, yes i did get caught on it by the popo.. was rapid in 2nd and a lovely bike.


    After getting caught i sold the thump and decided it was time to get a proper track bike when i was about 15-16.. a 2005 honda cr 85 with renthal bars, DEP pipe and V-force 3 racing reeds.. was rapid.

    Just been to carcroft, muddy day



    At Armsthorpe before they changed it.. (and made it rubbish) with my mate on his 2007 crf150



    However i didnt have a job at this stage and struggled to run it on my spending money.. 10 quid a week... was 25 quid for armthorpe & 5 for carcroft.. plus fuel for bike, fuel for car etc.. so i had to sell up

    So about a year or so down the line i'm thinking of getting another pit bike for abit of fun

    So, what bikes have you owned?

    I used to own the Blue Yamaha WR400 in the photo, sadly it spent most of it's time being re-built and in the end I threw the towel in and bought a Honda. Awsome power though 46BHP when it was runnning right and the noise from the FMF system was awsome!

    Re: What motocross/pit bikes do you own/owned

    I have my 01 yz250 2 stroke and I love it to bits. It took a bit of getting used to after a 200 4 stroke chinese bike.
    But bang for your buck it is the best thing I have ever bought, it really makes me question why I play with cars

    hi all, back on the motorbikes now I've got a proper job!
    Recent
    2003 Suzuki Rm85 to get back into things bought off ebay

    1996 Suzuki Lt 50 quad - bought two broken ones for £160- fixed one and sold it for £260, right laugh to wheelie on

    And then I emptied my bank on this beast! Yamaha Yz125-
    absolutely flies but I just wish it sounded like a four stroke


    any updates off anyone else?

    You've got close to my first three bikes in one post there, I started on an ST70 Monkey Bike in the fields at age 14, graduated to an air cooled DT 175 a year or so later and an XT250 a year after that!

    I moved onto road bikes after that with an XJ600 then a GPZ900R (the original hyper bike!!!) followed by a VFR800. Gave them up a few years ago when I one close call too many.

    I did a couple of those swor meetings, and premier tools meetings down your way, thought they were pretty good. one of my mates rides that series, Jeremy phillips?
    I been doing amca the last few years, its a bit more friendly and not so competitive.
    do you ever come up to ride cheddar motopark? thats my local practice track, or will be when im riding again.

    Don't waste your time with road type dirt bikes or pit bikes, Mx bikes or proper Enduro bikes like KTM's are the only way fwd, I've raced Mx and Enduro since I was 8 (27yrs), I ride a KTM sxf250 now, can't fault it, do miss the 2strokes though.

    Re: What motocross/pit bikes do you own/owned

    I've been looking to get back out on a bike for ages, but never got the cash spare for it. Now it's my boys turn though, he's had a quad since he was 2 and last weekend had his 1st race on his Pw50 at Brookthorpe in Gloucester. A VERY demanding track for such a little bike against all the quicker Ktm's, as such he won a trophy for best rider.
    I got him a Lem50 to ride till Xmas, then I've got to scrape together some serious cash for a new Ktm for Xmas ready for next season.

    Re: What motocross/pit bikes do you own/owned

    Since I sold my Rs2000 to go towards new house, I couldn't really afford to get back into classic fords so got back into motocross as my son was racing anyway was a good way of us spending time together.
    Here's our latest rides, mines a Yzf250 and he has a Husqvarna tc65.
