Hope I can pick up this thread.
As a 13-14 yr old in NZ I spent a fair bit of time tring to work out how to get a TM125. Saved one from the bin at Mayfairs yrs later when they moved out of Lutwych rd, Windsor-Brisbane not Sydney. Had it in my shed for yrs and a guy asked if he could buy it when VMX was just kicking off. I told him $250 and he said he would get me the dollars-but could he take it now. I needed the room so off it went-never to be seen or paid for again. I do still have 1 sidecover/no. plate but that's probably not enough to start a project.
After the TM I went on to drool over the green tank CR125 but ever being practicle I ended up with an MT125 to ride to work and trails on the week-end, about as 1/4 as good from all accounts, even with a hand-built low pipe.
Upon further reflection, I loved and still would kill for, a European 6 days bike of any kind(almost) from 80cc to 175cc. How those guys rode six days on an 80 or even 50cc is just mind blowing.
Anyone got such a thing? apart from in the Euro vinduro mags.

My ten cents worth.
A big brute 360 Husky. Friend of mine in early eighties,rode one past us on the footy fields we used to hang out on.
It was the quickest thing; with the most ear shrieking sound when on the pipe over flat ground, that I'd ever heard, at that stage of my life. Seen and heard 465s,480s and the like, but,this thing just had wings.

Had to be the CR125RZ at that time. I remember walking home from school and seeing a new one sitting on a stand at the local shop. Man I was in love! I think my parents got that divorce because of my bugging them for one (never did get it)!
