Also had a grey Honda Elsinore MT250 of the same vintage. Other dirt bikes that I had were a Susuki RM125, Honda CR125, a couple of CR250's and a CR500. The CR500 was a crazy powerful bike that only weighted 30lbs more than a CR250. I've never bought a new bike but the world sure was a much smoother place when I got my first CR dirt bike with mono shock rear suspension. Even though he gave me my first mini bike, my dad was not a big motorcycle fan but said "I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money". So I threw a lot of hay bales & pitched a lot of manure for neighborhood farms to earn money for my bikes. I think it's great that Josh supports the hobbies that his kids want to try. I'm also happy to give Judge a starting point & interested to see if he chooses to work his way up to newer, bigger, better bikes. The only dirt bike left in my garage is an '81 XR80 that I passed on to my son for his 10th birthday. Holly crap , just realized that was 20yrs ago!!
