      @mad73 yep that makes sense FZR. My mate has the FZ which is why it didn't occure to me. Lovely colour scheme.

      Can I ask why the want for a DTR?

      Clearly a Yam fan?

      What I will say is this.

      If you want a dtr. For the money you won't get a lot. Because they are in high demand they command high prices.

      It would be well worth paying a little bit extra to get onw owned by a mature owner. The problem with 125's is they are owned by people who don't look after them, their whole life. So can be in bad shape.

        yes def a yam fan had a couple of suzukis gs125 rg125 600 bandit (crap)and had a zx9r ,
        the want for a dt , had a dt 50 many moons ago , and I really like the 125 , want to get into some off road riding and a dt seems a good place to start + I like 2 strokes nice and light and as I only really buy Yamaha aint got much more choice and will only go up in value as well
        il dig out some more pics of other bikes

          no to bothered on condition of the dt I buy as I will strip it down and rebuild it any way , I like playing with bikes more than riding really , prob as I only have 1 friend whos in to bikes and he don't ride a lot any more either getting a little dangerous out on the roads now prob why I want to get in to off road riding and do some track days as well, thinking of building a track bike out of a fzr400 frame I have sitting around collecting dust

            @mad73 Yeah fair enough.

            They do make for good project bikes seeing as you can get them in a sorry state. You can fix them up quite cheaply. And you can make a profit out of it in the end.

                @mad73 I noticed one of the images didn't render.

                If you find this is the case then manually overide the photo detection feature and insert it yourself with

                ![alt](www.imagelocation.net)

                That will insert the picture for you.
