Can't believe this hasn't been snapped up. Especially with the NZ spec power valve.

This guy is looking for a 1990 yz125 for a project bike.. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/golden-bay/motorcycles/wanted-125-2stroke-project/1061011167
However, he only wants to pay $150.  Maybe the bloke above will drop $1850 as the piwer valve is missing and they were a works bike item back then and Yamaha NZ doesn't make them any more.

One too many zeros in the price I think

Its the FaceBook mantra: Anything old is worth megabucks. Maico 490 or forked out TS185, those VMX guys love them all, apparently. I find it genuinely amusing when active VMXers are shot down by random kids who insist that "the VMX guys will pay big money for this".

Check the $4500 CR450 (and the comments on it), and the comments in the KX500 thread...

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
