Looks like a 2005+ YZ125 fitted with plastics from a 2010 YZF250?

Only obviously unique part is the fuel tank.

Would be great to get an actual new bike, not just a cosmetic update. Kinda like this photoshop:

Its a shame most companies dont develope a 2t any more. I have a KTM SX150. The outher day I had a ride on a new YZ144. Very dissapointed with the performance compared to the KTM. Gutless in comparason.
