Kawasaki Power To The Ground Vintage Motocross

Features information on Kawasaki KX and KDX dirt bikes from the late 1970's. Great vintage motocross action shots.
This is one segment from the restored video player “ Kawasaki Good Times Theatre”. The Good Times Theatre video players were used at Kawasaki dealerships in the 1970’s for customer viewing on the showrooms. This restored video features great Kawasaki moments from the mid to late 1970’s. Audio quality on the restored video is fair, but clearly understandable. This is a great piece of Motorcycle History. Hope you enjoy it.

I loved opening Dirt Bike/MXAction mags in the early '80s, eying the new bikes within, knowing local dealers will soon have 'em. The "suspension race" was so cool. It seemed every month some brand found ways to add another inch to its suspenders. Sittin' on 12" wasn't a seedy theater movie. I rode CR's, however, envied KX's, YZ's, RM's. Everything was so cool about '80s bikes & gear. I love retro gear. Today's jersey's are too busy, looking like gawdy tattoos, nothing stands out.

Old school.

Saw this Video back in the day (1982) and the sound and quality was better then. Rode a 1982 Kawi 250. Broke the hub, frame, throttle housing, cylinder exhaust bridge and bolt holding the Unitrak together. Four DNF's due to mechanical failure.
