MX 125 D model

[TM BILL]

and the MX125C brochure.





Geoff

Is that your brochure Geoff ?

[kdx Geoff]

Yes Bill.

l also have YZ125X, 125D, YZ80C, 80D, YZ250C/400C in the one brochure, GT80D, TT500D and DT360A.

I dont recall thinking that much of Yamaha as a young bloke, was always Kawasaki and Suzuki.

Did you want a copy of one of them ?

Nathan,

My MXC is only the second one I had seen. The first being in 1976 when I worked for Curnutt Shocks.

In my research of these bikes, I think there are 3 1/2 in Australia, 2 in South Africa, and probably somewhere around 15-20 here in the states. I saw somewhere recently that a person over here found 2 almost complete bikes in the last month or two. I know of 5 in California, 5 in Georgia owned by one individual, a guy who has one in Florida that he bought new, and a few sprinkled about the States. Very few parts are even available over here. I was lucky mine had all the major parts still intact, and it was living 20 minutes from my house.

[TM BILL]

Yes Bill.

Cool deal TM Bill.

[TM BILL]

They are a lovely little bike IMHO 

[Slakewell]

After looking at the brochure I now see that the shocks look like the YZ 80 D ones so I guess I assumed it was a D model.
Very tidy little bike but I never new that they were made in so few numbers no wonder they were the last if they didn't sell. I wonder what happen to my old ridding buddies one? Would have been sold in north Brisbane.

[TM BILL]

Mick that could be the one in my shed  I will dig it out and put up some pics 

[Slakewell]

Bill are they 5 or 6 speed?

[TM BILL]

6 speed mick , they are like a twin shock YZ 125C  bit detuned but better handling IMHO and with a GMC pipe and a 34mm carb they are very competitive . ( GMC YZ125A pipe with modified tail pipe ).

Nathan,

I was lucky mine had all the major parts still intact, and it was living 20 minutes from my house.

The ones I know of:
1. Bill's one (now in NZ).
2. One Holeshot Buddy had for sale about 18 months ago.
3. My old incomplete one that I sold to TT5 Matt.

Tim754 said he knew of a good one in rural Vic, but he hadn't seen it for several years (and that was a few years ago), so it doesn't count as a confirmed bike (yet?).

I rode Bill's one at CD6. Great bike, but my YZ-X would eat it: Better suspension and more grunt everywhere makes up for the slightly heavier feel of the X. Might be different for a starving jockey like Bill, but for us adults , the X (and a YZ-D) is the better thing.
That said, I'd prefer an MX-C over a YZ-C - something about marketing triumphing over engineering...

Here is me on a 125X. The only time I raced a Yamaha back in those day's. They were a good desert bike but I rode Husky's.

[kdx Geoff]
