75 and 76 KX 125s are the same as 74 models except for paint and mudgaurd colour. They should definetly be pre 75 legal.

As Watto well knows, the battle to get the YZ-250/360B into pre 75 was won in 1992 when forum member Jody Mason challenged officialdom to allow his YZ250-B into pre 75. It was a pretty big furore at the time but once Yamaha verified that the YZ-B is a factory designated 1974 model so there was no further argument or objections as long as the 7"x4" suspension limits are observed.

What's dubious about them racing in pre 75? They are 74 models released mid 74.
I can show you a dated 1974 race program with Yamaha advertising them for sale to the public.

Would that be the same Jody Mason that was running around on a few speedway bikes at this years HBBB ? He looked smooth and stylish on a sweet sounding Jawa 2 valve and was the main reason for my rekindled interest in getting another 2 valve (still haven't found one yet, but I may be on to a few leads). The Jody at Broadford was wearing what looked like an old Poole Pirates vest, so I looked up the list of all Poole riders , but couldn't find his name listed.

Almost all '78 models were for sale by October 1977 here in the U.S.  Did they usually sell after December in Oz?

So more of a 74.5 model like the Maico??

[shelpi]
