Title: 1976 YZ125
Post by: Curly3 on July 10, 2012, 05:09:04 pm
Not sure if the year is correct but apparently its the first monoshock model.
I'm putting it on here for a mate to find out the model and what it may be worth, it has a spare motor, is in original unrestored condition and is for sale.

Vin and engine numbers would be good, but in my opinion it's a 1975 YZ125C. As far as prices go at the moment it would be a hard one as good bikes are pulling shit money or not selling....3 years ago it would have pulled $1500 easy....but now....who knows.

Its a 75 YZc , SlideRulz its missing  the hardest part to get the airbox . took me 4 years to find one for mine . I reckon max $900 and then he would be a collector needing to form a set . Iain

1975 YZ125C. Not to be confused with the 1976 YZ125X or the 1976 YZ250/400C...

I had two project bikes in similar condition, albeit as basket cases which always makes them harder to sell.
The first one took ages to sell, the second one got no takers at $700 despite an excellent tank and a decent pile of new parts - I ended up giving it to a mate.

As Davey says, it's not 2008 anymore...

no Steveo247 the 1975 yzc 125 was the only Yz made in 75 (not counting the 80cc ) . In 76 Yamaha had to call the 125  X to get the line up back in line . Iain

Ah interesting! I have not looked into it much. I thought there was nothing in 75 and 2 models in 76.

So why would the manuals etc have 1976 125 C? Was america different ?

Might be interested in the spare motor if you were selling.

Hey slides if Brendan doesn't take it, I'm interested. If you are who I think you are, I used to ride mine with your cousin when he had his RM125A.

Cheers

Sounds like I could sell half a dozen, if only I had them.
I've sent the relevent questions off to the owner with a guestimate on what he may get for it.
IT400C is #1 in line for it, if I hadn't been off work for 3 months I'd grab for myself but I will still post up the info when I get it.
Bike is in the Bankstown area of SYD.
You wouldn't be talking about cousin Laurie would you Stewart?

I think Geoff was just being his usual jovial self, which most of us generally appreciate and enjoy. He adds some all too rare humour here regularly. Usually at his own expense, let's not take things too seriously eh  ;)

Yeah very good Jim, no commission for you mate ;D
Seriously, I'm the meat in the sandwich here which I don't really enjoy, unless it's a threesome. :P :-* :P
There is more interest than I thought and honestly I'm still not sure how fair dinkum the owner is.
I know him well but it's still his call.
Please don't shoot the messenger, I'm a good guy, honestly. ???

gmc
i know off a few of those tanks but owners wont part with them as they just like the look of them.500.00 for a nos one is a little steep though

That tank Scott Wilson is selling/has sold for $500 is worth every cent - better than NOS. I was seriously going to take the money of the mortgage for it, but it's waaaay beyond what my X deserves...
