I think there are 3 or 4 Lackey replicas floating around the US.  The one built by Todd B. is very trick (hand built billet con rod, etc...) and so is the one from Texas.  The real bike is at Brad Lackey's house.  He was able to track it down, in Europe and purchase it a few years back.

I think the tall seat on the RM125B is a give away that it wasn't raced by the "Flying Freckle".  He does find a lot of trick parts to put on his bikes and they are desirable, but over-priced.  If he priced them correctly all of them would sell rather quickly.

Neither of those bikes are anything like the factory 500 Lackey rode in '82, not even similar..

Jeff Ward raced a FMF 125 Suzuki in 78, the bike AZ mike has is a 77.

Your right Red, he finds some real trick parts and bikes but over prices everything to the point where he would sell very little.....I guess that the population of the USA is pretty big so he obviously thinks he will find a sucker for each bike.

He used to be called Idaho Mike. Now he's Arizona Mike. What state is next? Went to his house to pick up a bike to transport to Texas.
A very unlikable fellow to say the least!

It seems the locals are pretty well across this guy!! :D :D Again though, if the prices drop by 50% on each bike it will make some of them pretty reasonable prospects. But i don't agree with the advertising that tries to (sneakily) imply bikes are "factory" or "works" bikes when they're easily proved not to be!  >:( Still cool bikes though  ;)

Go to his website and click on the top left corner about "liquidation sale" frommemory the Jeffward 77RM was a lot cheaper approx 1 month ago. I think he has inflated the prices a bit so he can give the discount of 50% from july 1st 2013...

Firko,
Note the ebay item number on the bottom of the description of the 77RM Jeff ward thing. in the ebay listing he makes no commitment whatsoever, read on..

Correct numbered frame & engine '77 Suzuki RM 125 B. Sold as a parts bike due to no title.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me Arizona Mike at 623-465-0636

Interesting story here. I purchased this bike many years ago from a guy who actually bought this bike in pieces from Donny Emler himself at the El Camino swap meet. Bike is complete along with an extremely rare FMF cylinder scribed 'For Ward' underneath the bottom fin.

This bike has ALL of the FMF pieces including Mototek CDI ignition, FMF swingarm, Works Performance shocks, FMF forks, air caps, FMF porcupine head, tall FMF seat w/original cover, gold DID 'wide' rims w/Yokohama knobbies, FMF coned pipe, and an EXTREMELY RARE MX-Fox RM aluminum silencer. All of the stickers you see on bike are original. Paint on tank is original. All plastic including opaque side & front number plates are original.

Bike was restored using all original pieces, blemishes and all, to maintain originality and correctness. This bike is super trick and incredible to look at.

It is not clear if the rest of the bike was Jeff Ward's or not as most records show Wardie riding for FMF in '78, but who knows???

This bike is absolutely beautiful and would be a showpiece in anyone's collection.

Please look at photos closely and ask any questions before buying. USE THE ZOOM FEATURE TO SEE BIKE CLOSE UP.

Call me for information regarding the running capability of this bike.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: This bike DOES NOT have a title.

I have lots of other cool rare bikes and parts for sale so check out my ebay store.

What are the chances of obtaining a genuine  1976 or '77 C@J swingarm?
