I think that brochure probably differs slightly from the production bike. They would've been the same bike as ours only white.

If it an European X model it has the C model fork legs?  The Aussie X model has different fork legs?   ???

I'm up for it being a pre-production bike, or a Euro 1976 YZ100.

The swingarm appears to be the longer 125X type - and the fact that you can't see the chain on the bottom, suggests that its got an X-type spring loaded tensioner.

The forks appear to be 34mm 125C forks, but with 125X style aircaps and fork boots.

Its hard to see, but the X-type cut-outs for the fork boots don't seem to be there.


OOOORRR... it could be a not-so-hotso resto. Although the forks are still weird.

It was not uncommon for the pre production bike they used in the photo on a brochure to be a little different to the production bike when it arrived.
