Hi all,my restored RM125C which featured in VMX #48 has been sitting in a mates factory since 2011 and has never fired a shot.
He has sold his 1/2 of the factory and its time for the bike to come back home.
Question is the factory is now running as an antique/collectors/pickers and the owners have had a few inquiries about the bike as its still sitting up on
a partition wall.
The usual answer is "its worth what someone is prepared to pay".....but....what are they worth these days?
I'm 99.9% sure I still want to keep it but been out of the scene since 2011ish.
cheers

Very Nice bike
You say you are 99.9% sure you want to keep the bike so just hang on to it, enjoy & don't be too concerned about the $$ value.
Regards,
Steve

Beautiful job! I think this is the universe giving you a nudge to come out and ride again. If you are in NSW we'd love to see you out at a Heaven meet. With member input we've been constantly tweaking the Heaven Race format and this year with some new innovations is looking like it will be a great year. But first, bring it down to the Expo at Dargle on March 11 & 12 so everyone else can get the chance to appreciate your work. You never know you may win a trophy! I raced one of those back in 78. Great bike

You did a supurb number on that bike Mario. I don't think you could put a figure on it but I'd reckon the only way would be advertise at say the 'bargain' price of $10 000 and test the water. You and I both know you really don't want to sell it ::)

G'day Chris, great to hear from you and thanks to Kenneth (I'm in Victoria) and b490 for the kind words.
Well the bikes back home....actually its in another new lounge room (where it all began :P)
I spent an hour cleaning 6 years of dust off it and with a spray of Mr.Sheen, I am happy to say that its still a thing of beauty to look at.
Apart from perished fork boots and some fading of the levers, it looks and feels like an old friend is back home :P
Its staying in my possession and with the amount of bloody work I put into it...I really don't need the money.
Cheers everyone :)
