Picked these up after work yesterday. The BMX doesn't have a name anywhere and has a Sears speedo. The motorcycle bike is un-named but has CR-2X decals.

The MX is definitely Murray built so it could have been badged Sears. Since it has a more standard BMX seat but still has a gusset, I'd guess it's from around 1980. Some of the seat posts from this era had a dated sticker on them.
The seat on the Sears is the original. I believe it should have one that look like a loaf of bread. I can't verify if those are original miles or not, but they could be all highway miles.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. It's likely late 70s to '80 or so. Check the seat post, down near the BB. Mine was a little white sticker with a month and year code. I had a very similar MX in flat black with a 20" rattrap springer.
Apparently the seat isn't original or the pads. I checked so it's from 1977-1980 Sears Christmas Catalog is the only ones that have that exact bike. Maybe 81 but they didn't have that on Flickr.
