Nice. I've been looking for a road legal 2 smoke project for a long while now, something older but cool. Everything is too pricey at the moment.

21 years old? You'd never know! Very nice - apart from being 2-stroke, of course

Re: New bike, aint a cub, but it's replacement.
cant beat a old ring ding special, looking forward to doing my RXS 125 project (well 100cc now will be 123cc by time im done ) and i know once im done it will hold its value as 2 strokes are going astronomical in the price stakes... harder to get as well, people are holding onto them or asking silly money. was called up and offered a DT125 the other day, didn't take it as i aint keen on crossers, and it was a field bike, so would have cost a mint to get legal again... if it wasn't nicked.
Have to say that one looks well sorted and looked after, nice find.

Re: New bike, aint a cub, but it's replacement.
may do my full test, and there's plans for the c50 dont you worry frames getting shot blasted, rust cut out and welded up, then it's getting powdercoated in honda red i think, then engines getting full overhaul, new plastics etc, making her a minter and gonna keep her in a corner for a long timeRoadCar wrote:Nice bike always liked the DT125 are you going to take your bike test on it if you are planning on doing so?
