a stray that wandered into the shed

fairly original RM125c. according to numbers-one of the last.

n rear guard and not sure of the front but pipe,muffler etc are all original by the looks




might ride it as is until the 250 T is finished.

yup it sure does look pretty original except for the guards. Lots of potential there Tornado. The more I see the '78 models the more I'm inclined to take mine back to C specs instead of the A/B parts it runs now. I have it in an A frame with alloy tank and steel swingarm so it's eligable for pre'78 but eh, I don't ride it so I may just make it a mini-me of the 400 ;)

Yeah, looks pretty stock to me too, although the muffer looks way too long for a 125C.  It may be a later 125 muffler, methinks.  ;)

I just got another one aswell, $250 on ebay. Seems im addicted to these old girls!!I got it for spares but I may restor it yet!!! The muffler is not original, they are hard to get and when you do see one they go for a mint. They are a great bike.
1978 rm 125 x 3
1981 rm 125
1987 rm 125
