I've got a brochure - I'll colour copy it and send to you.  Your address still the same ??

The brochure has also got 250 and 465, so I'm sure it will interest you as much as it did me    They look shit hot.
You have to love sales brochures - apparently on a 125H you can "hit the dirt and come up with champagne" 
That's if you can get the frigging thing to run properly    It probably should have read something like hit the JD, then hit the dirt and look at getting the bike started tomorrow   
Once you do it is actually a sweet little bike.  I have 2 of them - both waiting for resto.  The other one I have going is a 125J with a H motor. - I'm working on the restos - I have a heap of NOS stuff ready to put on Nathans basket case, but I'm trying to finish the 250 before Mr YZHilly takes any more piss out of me.  So close, but yet so far. 

That bike you bought looks pretty complete, but if you are looking for something let me know as I still owe you one for the sprocket cover .

I haven't forgotten about these Ted - Christmas just got in the way.  On the way shortly.  Will end to you too Woody.  We should start a 125H club    There seems to be a few getting around lately.

Good Luck Ji

 There is an old movie with Val Kilmer in it called Top Secret, where a chase ensues involving the aforementioned machine painted in camo paint, good for a giggle

Thats what i`m aiming for E74......just with a DG pipe and a 82 front plate

Hi ya Ted.
Here's my scruffy 'H' with a 'J'  front plate.

[YZ250H]

Tony T my number 2 bike of these was one out of Melbourne with a "safety seat" very scarily similar to that photo.  Maybe a popular mod - or have I bought your old girl.  How old is the picture ??

The J plate probably looks better, but believe it or not the H plate does grow on you after you have looked at it for a long time.  Obviously the design guru was on holidays and the apprentice was given the job of designing a number plate to suit the radiator.

Brochure copy in the mail tomorrow Ted.  Sorry for the delay.
Cheers

That would be seriously weird that I found 2 of my old bikes thanks to this forum, but unlikely.............
The photo was taken in 1982. I traded the bike to the local Honda dealer in Mt. Gambier in late '82 for an '83 CR125RD.
I've never seen another 125H with the red Ceet seat. Is yours a Ceet seat or a 'J' seat?
I had a thing for slots in the side covers like the works bikes back then too.
If yours has those, I would be amazed.
