1981 Yamaha DT125MX 4J3
I got this DT125MX from ebay as a complete none running restoration project, they are pretty rare bikes these days and were when they were new. Simply because the DT125LC was launched and 99% of people buying a DT125 in the early 80,s bought one of them. Anyway this one belonged to a farmer in Cheshire and what a right old state it was in as you can see after being used as a farm run about for years. Pretty much all that was left from the bike that was original after the restoration was the frame,wiring loom,clocks,airbox,carb and the bottom end of the engine. Pretty much the same story as the Red 175 on the previous page.
Just like the Red 175 I promised myself I would keep this but it was also sold so I could start another restoration. The fella who got it was very happy when I delivered it to him, he was going to use it on a regular basis so I hope he gets many hours of pleasure from it.

Just some of the brand new parts that went onto the bike, NOS fuel tank was a lucky find from Ebay France....... A brand new genuine Cylinder, head and piston kit, wheels, plastics, seatcover and many many more parts went into the restoration of the bike.
