Dirt Legends Garage Follow us for the nostalgia of old steel, loud pipes and dirt in your teeth, a tribute to both vintage and modern, motocross & dirtbikes.

Welcome to Dirt Legends Garage, where vintage dirt bikes never die, they just get more legendary. We're obsessed with the machines that shaped off-road riding. From screaming two-strokes to bulletproof thumpers, we celebrate the bikes that had more character in their carburetors than most modern machines have in their entire frame.

Case breakage was so common on these that Honda's own dealers kept spares on hand, the chain would fly off and crack the engine cases clean open. Marty Smith still won the first-ever AMA 125 National Championship on one.

The WR400F launched in '98 as basically the YZ400F motocrosser with a headlight and kickstand bolted on. Honda's XR400 had already owned this class for two years by then. Which one's winning this matchup for you?

Yamaha rushed liquid cooling and a power valve onto the YZ250 in '82 and it was a mess, the radiator up on the forks wrecked the handling. They'd already fixed that by moving the radiators to the frame in '83, and '85 finally added a disc brake up front.

Honda basically sat out 1978, coasting on the same tired Elsinore while Suzuki and Yamaha moved to long-travel suspension. Kawasaki used the year to finally build a KX125 that could actually keep up.
