A pair of 1986 TRX250R's - they ended up being traded for money on the Talon. Great machines, but got spoiled by the electric started TRX450ER and they sat way more than being ridden.

Not mine, but used to own and race these exact bikes back in the day. Beautiful aren’t they

I remember these when I was a kid. Subscribed to the magazines and dreamed. Not sure I ever saw a CZ or Maico anywhere in the wild until I got a little older and the Japs took over. Had several 73 and 74 CR250 Elsinore's back in the day. Bought a really nice barn find that looked to have been retired when the rear tire was shot. The guys who rode the CZ and Maicos were from a different cut of cloth. The Bultaco is a sweet bike as well. I used to ride Trials with guy from Ohio who owned tons of Bultacos and was supposed to have a huge NOS parts stash. In my second round Offroad, I campaigned several KX and CR 250s, then on to several CR500s. The 500s were easier to ride and fast everywhere. I finished up on a WR450 that I could never ride as fast as the 500s, and I rode the balls off the Yamaha. Thanks for sharing the photos

not my greatest sell - sold when I was 18 to pay a semester of tuition - apparently it was kool to cut the number plates to get some more airflow over the shocks 🙃.
Never understood the “breako” thing - lots of frame gussets and primary chains -
