Nice bike, I think these bikes are very good looking machine.

Stand out that you will my friend, I just took the tank off the VF to the local motorbike strip to get a fuel cap, All I can say is WOW everyone crowded around to look at the tank to work out what bike it was off ect. Got asked is it a Monarch or CZ tank, Couldn't belive how much attention it got so I don't know what will happen when I take the whole bike out.

I agree - VA125 looks tres cool.

Nice bikes too, tho bigend is weak & g'box ratios are not as close as the competition. I had a near-new VB125 for many years, but VA125 is better looking. Sweet handling.

[holeshot buddy]

yeah they are pretty rare now
i am lucky enough to have 2
both about 12 numbers apart on frame
the big end has been done to a different style so should be sweet
i am running a bigger bing carb and with porting hopefully
should be good
hope to have her done in a couple of weeks

VB125s ran a 36mm bing but it seemd a bit big. Std tranfers are rather small. I played around w 34 & 32mm Miks but never got them 'sweet'.

Enjoy!
