it's a '77 125B nice example especially as it was a ride bike only change I'd make just looking at it would be fit the original size tank stickers, whack on a decent size ally rear sprocket and put the extra clamps and rubber isolation blocks back on the remote reservoirs might have to take a look at the sprocket cover too as it appears the rear mount screw is not there which is quite typical after the 1st chain derailment nice bike tho...

I reckon it is the last model TS185 with the original type motor which I think makes it 1976.
Next model 185 had the burned orange bevel-edged tank, case reed motor and laid down shocks and was called TS185ER.

not quite right there. Yes 76 was last of the non reed motors. 77-78 ( or 79 in USA) had the reed motors and still had the old style cosmetics and styling but were not called TS185ER's. The TS185ER came out in 79 and had several updates including box section champagne gold swingarm, 33mm leading axle forks RM style tank and 1979 RM inspired fenders and plastic side number plates and continued on well into the the yr 2000 with minor changes.

the ebay one is not a 76 either. its earler.
