Title: What ever happened to that Fantic 125 from NSW back in the 80's?
Post by: IT400C on January 25, 2011, 02:19:57 pm

Anybody know where that Fantic 125 Enduro someone had in NSW back in the early 80's ended up?

I remember having a ride on it in QLD back in 81 or 82 I think - It'd be nice to track it down..

I have a Fantic tank.  It came from South Oz and there was an XL500 for sale in SA that had a set of Fantic forks on it :'(  So there maybe a frame around there some where.   
It was mussed on a euro forum about putting a yamaha motor into a brissoni no less, apart from it being blasphemes, it was noted at least it would be rideable and reliable.

Yeah, that sounds like it may be the one that I rode..  I couldn't remember if it was 81 or 82...  He'd come up for some event here in QLD, and maybe been injured and couldn't ride or something...

I thought it may have been at Smithy's property that I'd ridden it..  I think it was my club's round (RTCB back then) so I was working it..  VERY peaky, and soft forks is all I remember though...
