As you can see from the cover of the magazine, it was read many times !

Let's see, I buy the magazine, I read it first, followed by Brother, Father, neighbour, work colleagues and friends ! I finally get it back in a rather sad state !

I raced a '81 YZ125 back in the day. It was a great bike, but as soon as I threw a leg over a '81 RM125X I moved up several positions.

awsome thread! A buddy of mine had one groing up. He was the first of us to to have a legit MX bike. I do like the "we're still up in the air as to whether or not a 250 needs liquid cooling" line.

It would be nice to scan the whole magazine, but it takes so much time !

I do have the Yamaha YZinger, Honda XR200RB, and Husqvarna 250XC test from the mag though.
