HISTORY

The KX125 had genuinely usable power delivery.

This rotary valve air cooled 124cc 2 stroke engine put out a claimed 22hp @9750 rpm and had tons of low end power for a bike only weighing 178lbs.

Bottom end and mid-range are similiar to a CZ or Husky - except without the punch on top. Kayaba nitrogen shocks out back and stock suspension had 5 preload positions.

The KX is by no means a slow motorcycle. With good traction, it'll stay side by side with an RM, however put it on the track with bumps, holes and jumps, and it’s another story. The suspension was not exactly plush having gone unchanged from 1974. Although it may not have been the best handling bike for ‘76 you cannot deny the power of the KX.

JTR

We ride, race and restore vintage motorcycles. Every single bike we buy and sell, we personally go through. My father Chris Reed, born in ‘59 has been racing and repairing these bikes since they were new. He had me on a JR50 at 4 years old and I cut my teeth on race tracks around the United States. I eventually sharpened my craft working under the wing of Peter Boggia (Moto Borgotaro) where I serviced and restored some of the rarest motorcycles on the planet.

I believe these bikes should go to people who will love, and appreciate them. You’re not just buying a bike from us, you’re supporting a brand that is deeply committed to celebrating these badass machines and preserving the vintage racing community.
