it's a 1976 YZ125C rolling chassis with an unknown? {possibly euro?} motor?
the rear wheel has been "reversed" to place the chain over to the right side of the bike as it should normally run on the left. they've dodgy"d the brake stay arm as part of this mod and it looks to me like it's possibly never run in that configuration {a guess}.
nice pipe! not sure what it'd be off but it has a nice shape to it.
if it's something someones offered to you for sale i'd grab it as correct motors are not hard to come by and they're a sweet little number.
the tank and seat alone are worth good money

thanks!
what about forks, they stick out plenty? And is 125 different in wheels, frame etc compared to bigger brothers?
I think I need bigger house

the forks look right for that model.
125 frame is obviously smaller than its bigger brothers, as is the rear wheel.
if you want "bigger house", than this ain't it.
would be interested as to what that motor is though.
does it have any numbers/markings?
