Dear Santa, I want a Dt 200r, a 175mx, a rough Dt125 r to rebuild , and a double garage to put them all in! And a mustang to try for the weekend,(or 2)
Could find a DT200 possibly, 175MX.s were not sold in France. I want 2 old DTR 125,s for parts myself. I think I will be able to get 8 125,s in this big transit.
-
@scrimsmustang wow you will be the go to guy for parts and bikes at that rate
-
Probably some time after the 9th we will be going, need to make a list of bikes and get our french speaker on the case.

Got back from France and Switzerland on New Years Eve, got 8 bikes these four are for sale to cover our costs, 3000 miles of fuel, eurostar fares, 4 hotels, 10 billion quid in French motorway tolls and the Swiss motorway tax..... if anyone is interested. All picked by my friend in France to be thee best he can find.
Late 2003 Honda CRM125 with 523 klm from new been in storage for 17 years. Just been recommissioned for use, full service new battery etc. Totally standard and original, headlamp cowl decal is pealing a bit. Thats its only fault. Obviously runs and rides as new because it is. Still needs running in 53 reg in the UK.

Very nice scrim! Do you have prices in mind for these?
I think the Black DTR has gone, the Black CRM 2995 fully UK road registered and mot,d on the road with logbook. This is literally a brand new bike though.
The Blue 2005 DTR 2495 ovno fully UK registered mot,d on the road with logbook.
The White CRM 2495 fully UK registered, mot,d on the road with logbook.

The CRM,s rip the piss out of the DTR,s lol, sorry but its a fact.

Very nice! Absolute crackers those, not surprised at all you can find bikes like these in that condition in France and Switzerland.
Its getting hard now, Switzerland prices are very high prices similar to here, in France the prices are rising all the time and low mileage ones are getting scarce now. I think thats why the Black DTR sold instantly with such low miles.
-
All sold now, save for the Black CRM. Its only done 327 miles from new so im going to hang onto it i think. Did let a 2003 Blue DTR with 187 klm thats just 116 miles from new go yesterday even though i know i wont find another it was the one you dream of finding but hey ho.
I've got a mint Red/White 03 CRM as new, derestricted debridged cdi and a brand new Arrow race pipe, 03 plate 9000 miles with mph speedo. Also a pristine timewarp condition Black 91 model DTR if anyone is interested, its one of them DTR,s you wish you could find 7000 od miles from new one owner on a J plate .
-
@scrimsmustang where do you find these bikes! Like to see a pic of the black dt though.....
-
The 91 Black DT and the 03 Red CRM are both from France Paul, the 03 Blue DT was from Switzerland. I will get a few pictures of the 91 for you, its completely original from the south of France so its corrosion free.I've replaced all the plastics and decals with all brand new genuine Yamaha parts that i already had put away for years and its turned a lovely bike into a beautiful bike. Its all genuine factory stuff anyway so its still 100% original. Only thing I've not changed is the headlamp cowl, just a new decal on it. Its a full power 3NC model code with 3 wire YPVS servo standard fit in garish 90,s Black Blue and Pink shell suit style ! Luckily if your under 40 you wont know what a shell suit is !
