Well after an 18 hour round trip, I have finally checked these two off my list of bikes needed. Both bikes are almost completely original. Have been sitting in a barn for about 25 years. One will be a racer and the other a garage queen resto.

Damn Son...where/how/who did you stumble across this amazing barn find? They both look like there great shape, at least from the outside. Which one will be your racer? Great find!

Love them both, my favorite year Kawis. Works bikes for the masses....except they seem to be pretty rare!

I first rode an 84 coming from an 83 KX250. Decade to get an 85 125 which I absolutely loved. Eric Gorr at the time was working for Tuff Racing I believe. and made the bike rip for me. Joe the reason you don't see many of these is because there aren't many parts especially power valve parts available. The frames are made out of old Camble soup cans and fall apart really easily. Beautiful bike of that time.

Those are a hell of a lot nicer than the ‘85 KX125 I ran across the other day. I did not make an offer. Anyone have an idea of what this might be worth? The owner does not have the air box.

I have been relentlessly searching facebook, I found these in Tennessee. They were owned by brothers who were the original owners. I think I will race the 84. I already found an old post showing where to brace the frame

Honda Man, They are so hard to find, Ive seen worse go for 600 or more.
