'86 Dave Miller Concepts KX80. Posted this under the Kick-Ass 2 Strokes thread but probably better suited here. I always loved the DMC-stuff back in the 80's...super trick. This bike was featured in MXA if I remember correctly...features alloy 'lowboy' tank, swingarm, rear-disk brake added, magnesium quick-change clutch cover...etc.

Ezra Lusk rode an '86 DMC KX 60 that looked just like this 80 (or is it a 105?). It was featured in the September '86 issue of MXA. Trick little bikes for sure!

Yep...OK, actually this is a 100 race bike...formally Brian Swink's (I believe Paul Denis last season on minis was '83)

when and where did you find that? That was my bike (and those are my pics you posted) for a while several years ago. Its a long story, but I sold it back to the guy that had it restored by dave

Visited Dave’s about 10 years ago when he was doing some amazing stuff with those CRF150’s.

Unbelievable craftsmanship! 

Troy Lee has an Eddie Hicks DMC YZ80 hanging from the ceiling of his place in Corona.
