Its seems to be a 84 model,  even has the original rims (hard to find)

84 models all had twin plug heads, it may well have an 83 model motor  ???

I have a complete decal kit for it for you paul if you nail it..  ;)

Paul are you bidding on it? Almost four now. You think its fake bids? If thats the case ebay should do more and ban anyone caught doing that. Dont know how you would police it may be Ip address's but people could easily find away around that too I guess.

im not bidding on it   if it was a 84   i would off thought about it but it needs a total  going over in my way off thinking  but it would make a good project for some one i suppose  BUT NOT AT THAT PRICE
 THE OWNER TOLD ME HIS FRIEND SAID IT WAS WORTH 10 K  AND I HAD A GIGGLE  TO MY SELF WHILE THERE  .
BIG K  SOLD ONE EARLIER THIS YEAR  AND IT WAS ADVERTISED HERE  ,IM NOT SURE WHAT PRICE HE HAD ON IT BUT I THINK IT WAS RACE READY AND CHEAPER THAN THAT EBAY BIKE (correct me if im wrong)

I'm surprised at the price of this bike but pre '85 big bores are getting hard to find and it's pushing the prices up. Yeah Paul i've seen that CZ125 engine sell on ebay at least 3 times, he's bidding on his own stuff for sure. Cracks me up when i read the feedback he leaves for himself then he relists the stuff.
