Would make a neat commuter..reminds me a little of my old KH125 supacommute :P which I incidently still have although it's not complete anymore..the motors' still a sweet thing but it's waiting for an early KS/KE/KX124 frame to happen along for it to reside in ;)

This are the most popular form of racing in Thailand , Malaisia , Indonesia and Philipines. ( A bit like Holden V8 in Australia)

I took over a 1991 ktm 250cc two stroke to the remote area in Indo where I lived and they were quite amazed to see such a machine.
