You have the three qualities required to make a great KZhead channel education, personality, and entertaining content. I know it’s going to be a blast watching this channel grow!
I just hope he gets more a higher percentage then the main guy.
Yes

Sick
There’s a fourth one pal. A hot mom
The look of surprise on his face when it started on the third kick was priceless!
When the music started I wanted a huge pop up caption that said "team america F-k ya!"
craig is a gem, he deserves to have this channel to blow up!
bruh everyone on every KZhead channel has a comment saying the channel deserves to blow up! just STFU already & stop repeating the same bs over & over & over wtf does this channel deserves to blow up even mean? mf has 123k subs what more do you even want? Dirt bike channels never have millions of subs not even the famous riders who have channels so wtf
What I rode at HighPoint in 96 at the Nationals. Never have I ever been so muddy in my life. 🤘
I still say the 90s where the coolest looking dirt bikes
Best KZhead channel of 2023
This channel is what we all wanted from Craig. Your calling good sir, I believe you'll find prosperity here!
Glad to hear Dan is still around too! We need his insight to guide the maintenance.
Beauty of a bike 90s were best years of motocross
The seat on the bike is killing me. Everything else looks really good. Good job craig.
Best part is that you did the entire rebuild in one single video. Awesome video man!
You are so charismatic and natural in front of the camera, you were a diamond in the rough . I'm so happy you started your own channel.
Amazing Craig well done again!!!! GREAT old bike well worth saving.
You know Craig I am an old Englishman I am an RTIB qualified mechanic and tookthe technics route I started rebuilding BSA A10s Triumph T120rs moved onto Japanese bikes, to many to recall plus I have had some strokes so doubly so, however your rebuilds have brought back so many memories I am a little envious I still remember the highs of hearing a rebuilt engine burst into life, later in life I became a locksmith and I used to get the same thrill from picking open safes. Any way if you want to employ a cheap mechanic I would fly over and see you, unfortunately motorcycles were resposible for some serious surgery and I am waiting for my other knee to be replaced which will make 24 surgerys, I would just love to be round the smell and grease again and have plenty of time on Japanese bikes, I am at the moment living vicariously through you, I loveed the IT rebuild. Keep up the good work and all the very best I just enjoy your rebuild videos so much, thank you.
Just watched every video you've made in a row in reverse. Awesome
So satisfying to watch. Nice build. Thank you.
The 1995 RM 250 power was brutal
Man I love watching Craig build some bikes. Not even a bike rider myself but I love to watch the process.
The only Ridgeline owner that actually uses it as a truck. Usually, Rodgeline owners carpet the bed under a cover and use them as some kind of station wagon. 😂
Box of motorized thing. My favorite!
I loved my 1995 rmx 250 the best of the best ❤
I have watched almost 2 minutes. The quality of the video is amazing
Awesome video. BnB and now another descent channel for me and my 2 young boys to watch together. Good job guys
I like this because its not like all those other over the top builds you see on youtube where they never even ride it and it just sits in the garage. 😂
The 90tis dirt bike are the best, form the cool colors, to the wild graphics, to the best 2strokes ever just kickass
Thank goodness Dan was there. Saved the entire project. Very best of luck with the channel gentlemen.
Love the 2-smoke rebuild! Highly offended by the Honda ridgeline! C'mon Craig!!!!!!!!!😂😂
This channel seems great and continues the legacy of bikes and beards
This episode brought back some fond and terrifying memories for me! I went from a cat 4 hp B&S mini bike to a near new 74 TM 400 Suzuki like my hero Roger “D” rode. it just about killed me several times over! That bike was so far over my riding skill level and was known for its hard to manage handling and power band but, what a terrifying thrill ride. My next dirt bike was a new 78 RM 250 what an advancement in suspension technology. The RM helped make me a much better rider due to its much improved handling and tamer power band . My body reminds me every day of the multitude of times my TM 400 bucked me off of it! As always stay safe and healthy! Ron
Craig certainly deserved his own channel. Always interesting stuff to watch!
Brilliant. . Well done 👍. . Always educating and humours too . . 🤣👍
As a kid I wanted a '99 RM80 so bad, I love Honda, always have, but something about those late 90's Suzukis just made me want one.
To take this bike from where it was to where it is in one video is awesome. Great guy, great mechanic. I think I'm going to like this channel. I guessed 3 kicks too lol.
The mechanic in me is happy to see the rebuilding process for more bikes!
I love the smell of two-stroke exhaust.
That bike brings back some great memories. Super sad day when I woke up one morning and found it missing 😢 i’ll never forgive the person that stole it from me.
Hell yeah , I'm rebuilding a KX 65 for my son at the moment.
You use to have a nice yard. Nice bike. Had a 1977 RM 80 when I was a kid. Love those RM's.
Im so glad to be here , i cant wait to see how far this channel will go!!!
What a brilliant video! I love to ride, but doing a rebuild like this would destroy me and the bike. Great work by Dan, too. This channel is going to grow and grow!! Well done, boys! Craig, you crack me up, mate!
Geeeeeeeeeeeezzzzus man I love the 2-stroke sound. Next one ya get I wanna BUY it.
Love watching people's reaction after they fire up an engine they just rebuilt. Great work, bro.
Great restoration. Motocross development advanced so radically after my motocross days were done in the mid-1970s.
Your my hero!!! When I grow up.... wait, I am older than you. Anyway, well done.
Nah bro, that was first kick! Those first two was just you getting the motor and the kickstart arm in the right sync. Nice build, Beardo. ✌🏼
Craig is the best advancement to KZhead viewing since since that other whacky bearded motorcycle guy😉
I had a 94 rm 125 I loved it alot of years, YEA CRAIG YEAAAA!!!!
I love the sound design on this video.
I restarted the video just to see the truck! I didn't know the Ridgeline did that!😮
My first real bike was a Suzuki TC125 .... Loved it. Was mostly my go to High School and get parts for my Harley i was building.
Thank you Craig for bringing back that 2 stroke
Nice build nice bike nice story 👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
One of the Best Videos I have watched on your Channel Craig, keep em Coming Bro, this Channel is only gonna get Bigger
What a u real job u done on the bike...💯🇦🇺
Could tell it was a 250 from your teachings about wiggly wrap around exhausts👍🏻👍🏻.
Kool videos so far. My late father had a Harley/Suzuki/Honda monstrostry of a motorcycle that he rode, a frankenstein bike of the late 70-80's. Myself 20 bikes later have my current bike I call, Captain Cave Man.
These type of videos of tearing things down and building them back up in a wonderful manner really strikes my interest. I usually watch vehicle engine teardowns and have really wanted to see the two wheel side of engine teardowns/rebuilds and this channel is exactly the place for that. Please keep uploading videos gentlemen!
More of this please! Do a rebuilt of a cr 500, Honda is quality
Glad to see you finally have your own channel. Hope it blows up love the content it's authentic!
I love the basket case reduild craig
I don’t care about motorcycles, but I watch these videos because I love you guys
I love this "Rebuild" Videos.
Awesome job, I'll say add a little saddle soap on that seat and you'll get that yellow to pop.
Great work guys, this is a great format!!! Bring Dan in more is awesome too
Awesome video--this brings back some memories: my best friend had an RM 250 in the late 90's and he 'got on it' a bit too hard while taking a turn on a mountainous road. He woke up about 5 minutes later and the bike was hanging in the lowest branches of a tree, by its handlebars, as he had wheelied it into the trunk and that torque monster literally climbed the tree! He nearly broke his collar bone (for the second time) and sprained his thumb. He still isn't sure what knocked him out but he was impressed that the bike had climbed nearly ten feet in the air in order to lodge itself that way! He had a heck of a time getting it down and had to replace a broken throttle cable and then he was back on the trails! That bike is far nicer than his--I hope you hang onto it.
The IT175 behind you is my dream bike ..fun fun fun ..
Good morning, I really enjoyed watching this video. The sound of the bike firing after the third kick took me back a few years . Keep up the great work putting these enjoyable videos together. Thank you
Great build man, must have been satisfying 👌
Glad to see you doing your own thing. Excited to see your progression
Then gave birth to the 250 RMX 2stroke loved it!
Man I’d love to have that dirt bike. I rebuilt my child hood 89 kx250 frame off restore and 2 weeks later somebody stole it. I’ve been without ever since
I love my 96 DR350. Wish they still made these bikes
That bike is known as a BOB - Bucket of bolts!!! AND NOW... it isn't!!! Great job and cool story. noice
I need more of these rebuilds from craig
You need to think of motorcycles as ageless! Not old! I was 26 when that bike was in its prime. It served a purpose that it was built for. Today's motorcycle is also built to do something more! Travis Pastrana showed what could be done with the bikes you call old and helped create the bikes that are more capable today! Besides, every second hand bike is new to the purchasers. 😊 I used a shop rag to rotate my circlip out of the bottom of the crank... Separating the crank to retrieve it was not happening!.. 😅 Great job, it looks nice! I knew by the 3rd kick it would start, I had faith in the build because you did everything I would have done. Also, thank you for the fork centering advice, using the front brakes to let it find the equilibrium!
Always wanted a Craig channel 🎉🎉 I like the style, can’t wait for more and to see some cool new mechanic tricks
Craig for the win , good luck in your new adventures.
Love to see you and Alan Millyard on a project together
I’ve done many a basket case. Love the challenge!
I got a 92’ rm250 and I love it, such a blast to ride and love the color scheme!
Beautiful job Criag 🇺🇸⭐️💫👍🏻Hoosier Wing

Why do i like this? Even though the beard is sprayed on... it feels down to earth and not edited too much.
