i'm no suzuki guru, but i thought the RM125a had straight leg forks.
i reckon it's either a B with a painted swingarm or a C with a B tank.

Looks like a bitza.The forks look like RM250A but they don't seem to have too much travel.The swingarm is of a C model. The frame #is from a B and motor# from a C.
Vintage Suzuki has all the #s on their web site.Also www.suzukicycles.org is great as a reference site.

I asked him for number straight Up.. B frame C engine.
If anyone here buys it I can do you the correct 125B front end in exchange for the 250B front end on the bike. ;) Then again if I buy it myself breaking it down would almost complete 3 of my own RM's.

Well that's strange coz if you scroll to the bottom of the page it states the preferred payment option is PayPal...
I'm on e-bay now but it continues to puzzle me.

eBay  makes it compulsory to put the Paypal  rider on all thier listings now  but its common to see  the seller put extra info in the description like this guy has

On 24-Jun-08 at 21:05:40 AEST, seller added the following information:

Sorry, no PayPal on this sale.

Ebay makes it compulsory to add Paypal to your listing. It is not compulsory to except it. ;D ;D Thank goodness.

ahh  so thats who was flogging it .didnt actually look at the sellers name.
