PrintThis week's collection comes to us from Jim Beasley.
Here are a few shots of my favorite bikes: Honda's 1981 lineup with Mugen ME460 kit for the CR450 (the 81 Maico 490 is in the background). My 1981 and 1983 CR125s, each with Mugen engines. And the best bike of all, my 1981 Maico MC250.

Thay are SWEET...........
Mx porn!!
Very nice! It may be my memory, or the fact that I grew up in Australia and some of the MX bikes were different (e.g. yellow Yamaha), I thought that the 83 Honda's had blue seats?
Secondly, you must be either single or have the best wife in the work to a bike in the house. Mind you, that Maico is sweet!

bringing back the memories. My first 125 was an 81 cr. took it apart and painted the frame white to match the shrouds, looked sweet with the red motor. damn my dad was pissed when he came home and my new bike was in pieces in the garage!
WOW love the Maico 250 ! Kids now days have no clue what it was once like. Spoiled kids with multiple bikes, trainers, home schooled, and the parents spending every penny to avoid their reality of life.
The glory days of motocross machinery - the Evo years. Thanks for sharing; nice bikes!
Oh yeah! Those pics bring back some sweet memories.
Thanks for sharing!
Now who is going to clean up all of this drool?
Nice! How many bikes do you have?!!
I had both those 125s, plus the rubbish '82 model in between. Those '83 CR125s were awesome.
Yes @VonSutho, the seat was blue.
Nice bikes, I had the 83 CR250 for my first bike. Did not have parents that would buy me a bike, they were into other things. Been close to buying another 83 lately, I may have to pull the trigger on one soon. These pics always get me going.
VonSutho - you are correct. The 83's had blue seats. I still have the original blue seat cover (with a patch sewn in) on my 83 125.
Very nice bikes jim,makes me wish i had saved all my old bikes.Remember when you could get a brand new 125 for$1300 and 250 for$1700?Those were the days.Pretty sure that was the year they all came out with the liquid cooled single shockers.
Nice bikes! Keep it up. I like seeing everyones collections. http://www.thejunkmanadv.com/1000-subscriber-contest-page.html
