After watching some vintage dirt bikes at the motocross (vmx) racing in Perth, WA and talking to some of the guys and seeing the passion in their eyes and enthusiasm in their voice I was in, I wanted to be part of the fun they were having.

Trouble was I didn’t have a vmx bike and the only one that I saw for sale locally seemed expensive and needed some work as well, these beasts were rare or more to the point, those that had them did not want to sell them.

So I decided to go looking and create my own small collection and work on them as a hobby and race them if I could.

This site is aimed at promoting the vintage motocros community and the bikes, the Perth VMX club is well attended, very well organised and all great blokes and ladies – highly recommend anyone who loves motocross bikes to check them out.

Unlike the modern MX machines which depreciate faster than a speeding bullet these vmx bikes are only going to INCREASE in value, rarity and popularity create demand and as more people realise even just owning one of these as a garage queen is pretty cool. These bikes dont get old like a modern bike – they are always the current model at a vmx meet!

I am no expert and welcome any advice/suggestions on my vmx restoration projects and on vintage motocross generally.

Its all about having fun.

Various vintage restoration projects that I have undertaken are listed on this site with details of their progress and ‘Lessons’ learned for those interested in not repeating my mistakes.

For general interest there is a virtual motocross image gallery of the Japanese MX bikes from this era to the modern MX bikes that cover :

COMMON QUESTION: Are any of these restored vmx bikes for sale?

ANSWER: No, maybe, possibly. They are not actively for sale but if someone wanted to make a serious offer then I’m realistic enough to know ultimately everything has a price. I will create a page later as I complete some projects for active sales as I have also lined up some more vmx bikes to get and work on and there is only so much room in the shed and only so much tolerance from the wife..

…Wow, after only a few months online this site now receives over 15,000 visitors a month with close to 500,000 hits! Who said vmx wasn’t popular! I have had to buy more bandwidth to keep it online, hence the Google ads to help pay for it.
