Post by: Montynut on July 21, 2012, 03:53:27 pm: Slakewell the ghastly colour (mustard, dirty greenish yellowish) was one year only in 1979 on the VE series. The VF had a much better fuel tank shape and was a much more eye friendly yellow.

Have to agree on all accounts regarding the power. I had a VB series and the power band was weak and narrower than a bee's dick ::). Piston port, small transfer port area and only four transfers with a 36mm :o Bing carbie.

The crank had cronic big end problems because its design started as a 123cc trials bike ::) Lyall O'Brien fitted a Yamaha rod kit from what I have been told otherwise they have a very short life.

They do look great though and handle like a dream ;D

Exactly I was offered a 125 H6 Enduro with a reed valve installed recently but I remembered the VB125 from 34yrs ago and ran away as fast as I could so I wouldn't be tempted.
