Time capsule yawn, needs decent swingarm and a few accessories.

Maybe some billet parts you reckon'? Or a swingarm like on yours? Yeah. That'd be heaps better. Yeah and some black rims and canary yellow hubs. Some yellow tyres as well. Of course some fat bars. Give it about 14"s of suspension. Put a Metal Mulisha sticker on the front plate and shorten the rear guard.
Hey I'm getting the hang of this VMX thing.......
-
If the swingarm is from 1978 then it has every right to be there. If Gaston Rahier could fit blue rims in 78 then why not. Otherwise it is just another dull RM125 albeit a new one.
-
I'm 100% behind ya mate. I love that swing-arm. It reminds me of my other passion.
Leggo.

Blue rims ??? picture :-\
-
There was a bike a while back in VMX mag that had been built up using the Rahier works bike as inspiration. I think it had a couple of actual works parts on it, swingarm etc.
The guy who built it put blue rims on it, but I can't find a picture of the original Suzuki works bike with blue rims. Doesn't mean it didn't exist of course.
-
I know the replica bike :) i think thats hidded in a box in Newcastle these days ::) but i wouldn't think Gastons bike would have had blue rims ???
Happy to be proved wrong though ;)

Back to lukes original post , that is a very cool 125B 8) their only original once and they dont come more original than that :)

Hey Bill will have to have another look in the archives. Hasn't your 125B got blue rims??
-
Perhaps they took some stiling Q's from this bloke!
Blue seems to be the theme.

Very tasteful. ;)
-
I really don't see a problem regardless of what colours are used on any bike as ultimately it's up to the individual and their ideals. Have myself a blue and yellow TM125 and I kinda like it 8) I can imagine what others must think but I'm not others and at least it's easy to spot amongst the other cookie cutters ;) Back in '77/'78 Lucas Reynolds ran all white RM's (Peter Stevens era) and for mine, even back then they looked great simply because they were something different 8)

One of them has :o but thats Bills bike not Gastons ;D Actually its Jocelyn my eldest daughters VMX bike when she in NZ :) she likes the blue rims ;D
It was built by a mate of mine as a replica of the one in VMX (obviously mine doesn't have the RA swinging arm ) as does the one in VMX :)
Makes me a sad Bastard dont it ;D i bought a replica of a replica ::)
-
Maybe, but I've often wanted to build a replica of that one myself. It was a very nice bike. Never got to see it in the flesh, sad if it's gone into 'hiding'...
-

Actually Doc I am heading in that direction, I was going to HPC it gold, but even my own bling tolerance and good taste may be stretched. ;D

yeah i liked that look too Doc, so much so i painted my RM80B white to give it the "Lucas" look.
then some scumqueen swiped it and it came back sanded back to yellow again. that was a tough break at 14.
-
Its looking a bit worn now ::) done a few seasons :) i would hapilly trade it for the NOS one ;D

Barely worn if you had a nos one would't you be to scared to ride it?
-
Thats the problem isn't it Frosty :-\ iv'e been very tempted to buy this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=269799934
But you have to ask yourself why ??? Unless you got somwhere nice to display it (I dont) then what do you do with it . After a couple of typical wet & shitty NZ meetings its just another MX 250B :-\
-
Exactly I have decided that two bikes in my shed are going to live inside and down up like new for display purposes but won't be a drama becuase I have others the same to be ridden.
Would be a shame to ride something once it is that good it would degrade very quickly as you say.
-
Yeah you tend to end up with minters and riders, I am reluctant to get a couple of mine dirty.

I'd love to see you bend that swingarm.......... oh..... it's already bent.... ;D

Hah thats the genius of that design, hell flip it and it looks like it came off the back of a MotoGP bike. ;)
