I am a Honda guy so I think it looks the best of the bunch.

Having said that, they are all beautiful bikes and that KX stands out as well.

Great job sir. A true labor of love on display right there.

Amazing- what a line up!
Think my favourite is the KX, then the CR then the YZ- not sure actually they are all incredibl;e- how nice to see the old bikes we grew up with. Bikes look amazing.

Amazing work, and what a unique group of bikes to choose to restore. I used 1980 YZ80 was my first real mx bike, so seeing your pictures was a great walk down memory lane.
