It looks like a bit of a mixed bag. I think it may be an RM125A with an RM125B swingarm (NO NO not the alloy one ;D)

Still not a bad buy I guess

It's an A, you can tell by the forks and non reservoir shocks. 125 A&B swingarms are the same..

OK Bill but they're both section is what I was getting at, unlike the 250/370

Yep  :) why do you think that the 125s seemed to be more techo advanced than their big brothers of that era John  ???

Im talking about the A box section arm and the 125B forks .

I stand corrected I was thinking of the RM250/370 A/B arm being tube based :-[

Possibly because Rahier was dominating the GP's and the 125 market was huge back then Bill

Was the RM 125 A the biggest selling motorcrosser ever?

No not at all, there were also a lot of CR125M2's and YZ125x's around in 76. I reckon more B's were sold than A's and there were far more CR125's around in 74
