I emailed him last time it was on Ebay, and he said that it was DT125 engine.

It went for $810 last time, which seemed quite high to me, so I'm not surprised that its been relisted.

I hadn't seen it before on ebay, or whenever it was brought up here. I knew the engine wasn't right, just didn't know what it was.

Mainly I'm just always mildly amused whenever someone mentions the "powerband" as if it been recently installed, upgraded, or is some sort of aftermarket option. Childish of me I know, but there you go.

Australian Dirt Bike Wreckers in Moss st (now defunct) used to sell second hand power bands, I remember seeing them under glass at the front counter next to the DG Heads and chain rollers. You had to fit them yourself though, curiously they looked a lot like rubber bands, I had my eye on a particularly thick red 'Band, but the Guy said he wouldn't sell it to me cos I was a minor :(
