Many not pictures, ie Eiger 4X4 quad, WR426F, Kawasaki KLX110, KTM 50 (we had 2, and we also had 2 KTM 65's)
We had a junior motocross team, ie all the KTM's, my grandson races, I supplied everything. And a 1973 Mars orange Honda CT90 isnt shown, it was a mint as the yellow 78 shown. Many owned prior to that, I dont even have pictures of. A 78 Kawasaki KZ650, 79 Yamaha XS750 and as a kid, a gazzilion dirt bikes, too many to mention. I did take my endorsement test on my 1975 Honda MT125 Elsinore (street legal version)

Wow, that was quite a collection you had. The Honda Trail 90 brought some good memories back to me. I had one just like it sometime in the late 70’s or early 80’s. I made a rack to cary it on my old Monaco Bunkhouse motorhome when my children were young. Those were the good old days!

I know when they saw my reply, wanted to see what Harley I owned. LOL.

I fully restored that bike. Spent 900 for it, rough shape, lots of pieces missing, downtube cover, bent pegs, rough shape, had an old USFS ID take on steering stem. Spend $1500 in parts and pro body shop paint and in the end, sold it for $1500. Tough way to make a living.

Good thing I had a paying job. But the journey was fun and I put new life into it, so it has a head start on more years.
Learned a lot.
67 was first year for hi lo range transmission, earlier, you changed sprockets, all were red excet in 73 and 74, they were mars orange and 68 and 78, they were yellow. In 1980, they went to the 110, but no high lo range in 1980, only year it didnt exist, then in 81, came back the high low range till the end here is the stated, but continued for years elsewhere, ie Australia.
Good news, they brought it back (Honda) and its a 125 now. Comes in a red or a tan color.

Thanks for the information and history. I went looking through my old paste in photo albums and found this photo. I purchased it new and the year was 1978. You are spot on with your dates. Thanks again.
