    Default 1980 KX250 articles or experiance with one?

    Hi
    I race/restore vintage MXers from 1975-1989. I was offered a 1980 KX250,,but can't find a single article testing one. If you have one and would like to sell me the magazine with test article or simply scan/email it for me I'd much appreciate it.
    If you have or have had one and can tell me your thoughts memories on it,,would be great.
    If I get it,,it'll be for racing against like year bikes..79-80 CR250s,1981 YZ250s,,,RM400,,ect.
    Itook a short spin on the KX,and liked a few points,but not sure how it'll hold up,or how it'll compare when on the track against others.
    Thanks

    I never owned a kx 250 from the early 80's but remember reading a little about them. I'm pretty sure Motocross Action did a test on the 1980 250 and compared it against the YZ of the same year. All I remember from a couple years later was reading about the first years of the Uni-Trak rear suspension actually taking its toll on the frames. Basically the suspension broke the frames after a while. I'm a kawi guy but the realiability in those years wasn't the best.

    Ya i remember these bikes well, everyone had them when i 1st started riding, back then, personally i had the kx125 but all the friends had the yz 250 and kx 250s i rode them both and personally the yz would have been my choice it was fast and light was the uni trak new in 80 or 81 i thought it was in 81 the same year as mine was, i could be wrong.
