Had two of these back in the day, I had good results until the CR came out  :-)  I think if I could go back in time I'd go the Yamaha with reed valve and up pipe they really were ahead of their time.

So what was the attraction to ride a modified TS 125 in 1975  ??? (as per your avatar pic )

As for Daves question for me it is the KX 125  or possibly the Elsinore  :)

The Elsinore 125 closely followed by the KX were my favourites. I had an Elsinore in juniors and loved it until I got an RM125a

So Dave, which one of the above is your favourite? You can't have 'em all, that's cheating. I've never been into 125's but if I was 60kg and cursed with a fetish for continually changing gears, I'd have to pick one of these, a '73 Monark.

I'd blown up one TM125 and sold the other, my Dad had a TS125L that was stolen & recovered, I tricked the TS up with TM bits I had laying around so I could clean-up the club trailbike class while I waited for the RM125A to come out  :-)

Not the best or the fastest but the question is what is your favourite? TM125L
Tough and easy to live with

Had one in 1975 and have one now

Well I am a big softy with most 125 models, race alot Cr125m, if I wanted to race and hope to win on a 125, I would be racing a  CR, KX they are the answer, My Favourite is,I have a soft hearted stop for the cz 125, I just love the look of them in yellow,and Bultaco Mk7, then kx, cr. BUT I do love tricked up 125 like Lee Fabery Hodaka Wolverine 125, that bike is Ants Pants.

Nice one Doc, I have also been googling odd ball 125 scramblers, early stuff, not having any luck.

I really like that shot!

It breaks every rule of photography, but just has a great 'feel' to it.
Which is exactly why I love it!!  ;D

What I call odd ball bikes is, you take any model 125 bikes and turn them into a motocrosser, you make it your own.

How about a 1967 120cc Suzuki........fitted with half a Hustler barrel....125cc.....me riding it at Moorebank in 1968. ;D
Slides or any Bankstown/Wiley Park members......the bike was owned by Stan Ayres....I would love to catch up with him again.

I'll have a word with the BWP president Bob McGlinchey and see if he has a contact for Stan, good fella.
