30
Years Ago
SEPTEMBER 6, 1989
We focused on many of the new dirt bikes that were coming out for
the year 2000. We featured tests on the 2000 Honda CR250R,
Yamaha YZ250 and Suzuki RM125… We reported that Jeff Emig had
been released from his contract with Kawasaki after getting arrested
for possession of marijuana in Lake Havasu City, Arizona… Kevin
Windham won the 250cc National Motocross at Binghamton, New
York. Ricky Carmichael won the 125cc class and clinched the title with
one round still on the schedule… Rich King won the Sedalia Half-Mile.
Jeff Ward was pictured on the cover of Cycle News 30 years ago for
winning the AMA 500cc National MX round at Washougal. Ward beat out
Jeff Stanton and Ron Lechien while Mike Kiedrowski outdid Damon
Bradshaw to win the 125cc class… Scott Parker won the Indy Mile…
All the stars came out to play at the Jack Pine Cowbell National Enduro
in Michigan. Jeff Russell came
away with the win ahead of Terry
Cunningham and Kevin Hines.
