      @Darty COOL vid, that must have been a DTX or RE, as some on those leans were pretty sharp.

      SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

        @CYBER-NINJA looks like an older style model by the looks of the tank, probably just in sumo trim.

              From Germany... on to the 1997' 125R. Love that riding gear.

              Then came 1998. The last year to use the original Oil pump design. The last of the real DT125Rs. You could still get 11,500 RPMs when you wanted it.

              This is the end of the DT125R, 99-03' models are completely sanitised and the heavier Generator design that followed make these engines even more soulless.

              So quite enthusiastic I own a 2001...

              Oh well.

              If your are looking for the most refined 125 2stroke ever made, it would be 3RME DT125R.

              I found quite a rare copy for the 2005 DTRE 'Stefan Everts Edition'.

              No love for the DTRE at this point, fatter and confusing ergonomics, It's amazing Yamaha stretched the DT125R from 1988 to 2007. The everyday 2stroke market was finally dead.

              Production of the DTRE completely moved into Europe to.

              The RE borrwed dimensions and design from the 1997' DT230 Lanza, Yamaha's last attempt to keep selling a 2stroke relic at that point.

              No offence to you DTRE owners. Be assured!

              To a great bike, that is actually best when you leave it alone and original..

              Keep it real

                @darty That '97-'98 Black bike with red and purple graphics is my all-time fav. Gives me a woody every time I see em!!! LOL 😉

                I searched high and low for a decent one when I was hunting for my DTR, but alas they were the proverbial needle in a hay-stack. Then I found my '03 DTR and a new adventure was born.......................

                      But a genuine KTM LC2 125, which is cool. What's left of it.
