yer but its about flow on and I'm trying to be contraversal so was the 125 c chromoly frame, was the motor the same as the 125b so if ya gunna let in the 250/360B then why not the 125 what was the suspension differance, travel, etc? between them

The YZ125c is a cantilever and the YZ125b a twinshock, not even close. The YZ125B is a US model, I don't think they came here. There is also MX125B and MX125C which are different again..
The rules are pretty well right as they are

Re the 1974 YZ250/400's ....Amazingly I did not state to anyone my personal thoughts on them, (being that they are the designated 74 models!)  I lust chucked them in the thread as they always   yes always !!! bring posts and posters  out of the woodwork.   Well my case rests

Whatever happened to "Jody Mason" after being around for just a couple of years and in my opinion only stirring pots of shit till he got his way. GONE never to be heard of again in the VMX Nationals..?


Shelpi ,JohnnyO is spot on , the 125"s were not 74 release models.  (Thanks JohnnyO )

Next cab off the rank ...the acceptance of the 75 CR125 as a flow/follow on model in pre75. Yes the paint is a different colour scheme that's OK, but what about the differences in the engine/gearbox???

[Ted]

May as well include the 76 and 77 models as well. Them shit boxes don't cut the mustard in Pre 78 anyway.

[Ted]

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

You, as well as me know that '75 and '76 paint wasn't available in '74

I've got a Taubmans paint sample from Nock & Kirby's to prove it

ted
there is a bloke who races a 1977 cr125 honda dirttrack and i think he would beat any up to pre85 125 around nepean.its alwasy first or second in the 250 races as well terry sawyer i think thats how you spell his name. and its no shitbox looks better than when it was new but so do all his bikes.

[Ted]

Granted. But in 77 you could have counted the 77 Hondas on the start line on one finger.

[oldyzman]

Terry's riding, tuning and bike building skills are very good. Runs on methanol...

The Smith boys pedal those pre 78 Crs bloody well

Now cmo'n Ted you know as well as i do that written and printed matter from the era mean sweet FA when your up against beauracracy and officials egos 

All you got to do to get things changed is convince the rule changers it was their idea and Roberts your mums sisters brother

Oh Ted you have a way with words..
Funny thing is Darryl Willoughby won the 77 Australian 125 Title on a near stock looking CR125!

[Ted]

Yeah a supported ride. Hundreds of others were winning every weekend on RM and YZ.

[JohnnyO]

A 76/77 CR125 is still very capable. Last year's pre 78 125 Aussies title was won by a 76 CR125 beating Brad to the title..
