I just didnt think they were / are worth that much.....
You have to consider what it would cost you to duplicate it, dropping grand into wheels, grand into motor, paint, chrome forks, shocks, cables, on it goes....you get up to $4400 in the bike without drawing breath or taking original purchase cost into account.
Whether it is TM125 or RH250 generally the bills stack up plenty fast, the only problem is getting your money out of a 125 which tend to be harder to get good money for.
Conclusion, you would be better off relatively restoring scarce desirable ex works bikes, but if you just want the best TM125 in the world it is worth every $$$$.
