@Darty so basically 10minutes work is what your saying

Sounds like it would be easier to put the DTR engine into a YZ250

It’s funny you say that. I caught wind of someone putting a DTR engine in a YZ125 and honestly wondered what for until you realise how much easier it would be then doing it the other way

[Nottsbiker]

@Calum there is a guy on the WR200 forum in the States thats putting a WR200 motor into a YZ125 rolling chassis

Easier to sell DTR and buy WR or DT200WR - the 125 will probably fetch the same or better money than the 200 which ironically is by far the better bike

[Calum]

125s are commanding BIG money now on eBay! It is absolutely crazy! Not sure why they have shot up all of a sudden.

It might be the lemming affect. One sees another put a price and the rest follow. It’s the fleabay way. Now seeing things actually sell at fleabay prices is another thing altogether

[Calum]

@SpookDog That's pretty much how most things work. Realestate is the same. They get in an "Expert" to evaluate your house, but really it's like, oh what does a "modern" 3 bedroom house in that area command? Let's have a look on rightmove

There’s always Sod’s law as well. As soon as I get interested the price goes well past my shoe~string budget!! 🤪

Not to mention the £1000’s fo pounds you’d save buying parts from that bike for your 125.

I’m doing my bike license soon and I can’t act like I haven’t considered going to France and buying a WR200, just like you said itd make a lot more sense

Make sure you get the Carte Gris (v5 equivalent) and pay import tax for the NOVA declaration
