Aside from the multiple bits that are missing, he didn't even bother replacing the footpeg rubbers! "Complete restoration" indeed...

Tex, im sure complete restoration means  "this p*xbucket needs $100,000000  spent on it!"

Tex, your searching for DT 125's
These models aren't really up there with the known 'name' restorers ;D

Your powers of deduction are quite extraordinary.

These so called "name" restorers don't know what they're missing! I can think of a few names for this optimistic chap. My own DT was more complete and if you knock a zero off the end of this guy's price you're pretty close to what I paid for it!

its not a dad restoration, there could be more done, I think your being a bit picky,  he is covering his cost and moving on, l can relate to that.

Well spotted Tex, Quite possibly THE BEST GUMTREE AD EVER!!

It has

- awesome speeling
- great grammar (and shit)
- a super secret racing mower prototype in the background
- some of the most subtle rattle can overspray on both front and back wheels I've ever seen
- dual exhausts, possibly not functional?
- an actually nice looking gloss black paintjob on the tank (maybe the starting point for the project) before the meth kicked in.
- artistically minimalist use of stickers
- a pig in the background

This one doesn't need a restoration or even a complete restoration because its in good original condition, and a bargain at only $1900 ;D


KDX 175 B. 12/81, unrestored, good original condition, matching number bike. This bike has done very little work, I believe it even has the original tyres. Was a barn score awhile ago, had been sitting years by the looks. Had grand plans to restore it, but do not have the time and need to thin out some toys.
Starts and runs very nicely.
ADR compliant version, but has no lights or speedo fitted.
Missing the rear gaurd.
Would be hard to find another in this condition, suit restoration, or with a going over, could be ridden as is. Suit serious VMX enduro enthusiast
Geniune enquiries only.

If you don't know how to squeal like a pig,
I'm sure someone 'round there could help you learn.
