if you have time and wanna have some project maybe you can try to rebuild an old friend MTX for some ride .....



Thank for watching !!!!
 
Well Done Guys! I thought the MTX was a Great Bike and never understood Why Honda never kept making them. They could have put the Phantom Engine in them as well so they had a 4-Stroke! In the Day that was Your only option for a Trail Bike before all the Big Bikes became available. Kawasaki have had the Monopoly for the last few Years but Honda will be Flying their Flag again next Month with the New CRF250, Can't wait!

Beautifull Bikes. One of the best ever. Mine is 1986. I have driven it since 1989 and nothing but absolutely minor Problems have occured. Same Piston from 12.000 km until today at 73.000. I'm restoring these days with a new Engine and other things. But Spares is a Problem. Bike is uncommon here in Europe. Is there a supplier around Your place that is preisworthy and with a gut assortment?
 
Absolutely fantastich Bikes. Mine is a 1986 125er. I'm fitting a brand new Engine but need other Spares. Where do You find these? Seems a Problem here in Europe. And how did You fit new rearwheels with Discs?

I would like to know where can i get the wheels and swingarm like the green mtx125, with the atac engine head. I'm restoring my old 1988 honda mtx125r and i want to make it looks a little bit more modern :). Waiting for response. Regards from Portugal!
 
I'm restoring a mtx125r and i would be very thankful to know where can we get wheels and swingarm like the green mtx125 shown on the photos! By the way, you've done a great job with your bikes, congratulations!

Best Regards,
Pedro Correia,

Maybe some guys have some MTX "Golden Oldies" photos to post.

Yes David some of us do have back in the day photos of MTX doing good service – these are from Phuket c1980’s They did have a tendency to overheat but were a nice light bike. Had a few “offs” with my then gf (now wife) on the back which added to the fun. Rhiekel did a recent restore of a 125 with a new / recon 200 engine from Japan so he could be a good source of info. Without detracting from the MTX tried a couple of KMX200’s in Europe in the 1990’s and must say these were a definite step up - was much more stable esp two up.

Yes in my time,1982 to 1987, Patong was quiet, my previous post shows me with MTX at the Expat bar on what was then the strip, very low key. There were two dirt trails running out of Patong both interesting. North one had more big drops and steeper gradients. It had for a novice a big range for surfaces. One time stalled my MTX at night (missed gear change poss due to Klosters intake) and only in the morning did I realise how close I was to the steep drop to the sea. Southern one ran past the (new in '87?) Meridian to Katha beach your photo shows track more used than I recollect. When going north on it had a 90 degree up hill turn through a small stream after a slippery smoth rock outcrop section, caught me out a few times! Good times in pars due to the nice MTX125
 
Wow those are some Old Photos from Patong! And How it has changed! Great Stuff! I got there in 1991 and the MTX was the only real Dirt Bike readily avalible at that time. I always wondered why they never made a similar Bike with the Phantom engine as there was No Competition and No Dirt Bikes avalible for many Years?
