It's in Ipswich Nobby. That's one of those "special" places.  Like Copperhead Road maybe? Certainly looks like they've grafted a still onto the bike.

Take the motor out of the equation and the roller with the hard to find airbox  is worth it .... IMO

johnny o had the same idea as that fellow, rms roller and using 185 engine, this fellow had the same idea, but bigger is better.
Title: Re: Rare expansion chamber
Post by: Doc on August 22, 2014, 07:58:02 am
Stew, the roller isn't so great either..check the front downtube/cradle mods in the 4th pic. TS/TM400 engines are much much longer than RM125. Also the rear wheel looks like XL185/250 Honda. May still be worth something for the airbox, swingarm and front end but the rest is scrap value only ;)

Pfft .. you guys are missing the point .. it's worth the asking price just for the works expansion chamber. Stu you should buy that, give it a quick tidy up and race it at one of our club days :)

Chris ... I'm aware it has had a few ugly mods performed on it, but they can be reversed in the right hands  ;)..... what I'm saying you have a starting point. Not every day do you see a Rm 125 s on fleabay

Simon ... I have enough projects to keep me both broke and occupied well into retirement  thanks.

Bazza  ... It's a factory pre model release  :D

I reckon that's a NZ import, one of Bazza's Jaffa mates has made that "works" bike.....not a maRc.com special is it Mike?.... ;D

That pong box needs to be chrome plated and put in the Instute of Technology museum wall, or prhaps the museum of modern art! :o ::) :-[

that's an early GMC pipe, you can see he has calculated the chamber cone radius with an abacus and a pythagorum...(try and find one of those on ebay) ;D ;D

yeah better then reading about why a rm125b alloy swinger or about why cr480 forks can or cant go on a 79 cr250rz! ;D ;D

as to the bike that pipe sure is a work of art but surely they could have copied the same lines as the rms125 pipe and it would work way better too ;) ;Duote]

Bundy is the drug I'm thinking of

Chambers are all about volume
Why have a long bulky chamber when a short stubby one has the same volume and you can fit it where there is more room.

I apply the same theory to training
Why train 20 minutes every day when you can just train for longer once a month

I was gettin excited like I had found Wally  :o whilst reading this thread.

But Bazz beat me to it  >:(

How is it I cannot move an XR200 and yet these roaches dot ebay & gumtree distracting my potential buyers :o
