      Hi all,
      I recently purchased a Yamaha DT125 1998 Model which was first registered in 1999, from Unit5 (Imported from France)
      I know this is an official yamaha colour as i've located the 1998 Yamaha Sales brochure however I've not seen anyone else online or at bike events with this colour scheme.

      Has anyone else owned this colour scheme or have any photos they know off?

      I'm really keen to know if this is rare, My first DT125 was a 1987 Blue & Yellow which I regularly see online for sale, however this colour scheme never seems to come up.

      I've no intention on selling the bike as I enjoy it too much, when I get to drive 😞 I'm also weary of wrecking such a beautiful bike through daily wear and tear.

      Cheers

        @rollzy101 How much do you pay for something like that?

          @Irongamer727 It wasn't mint when I got it, it had some slight rusting and was missing a couple of decals which I was really fortunate to find.

          I stripped down through the winter, sandblasted and removed the rust etc..

          I paid just around £1800 and that included a new set of tyres and MOT from unit5, She's only done 9k in km (roughly 5500 miles) and runs sweet 🙂

                @declan thanks, there's a few little bits I still need to sort before I can say she's 100% mint 🙂

                    Thanks, I'm sure there is another one in this colour somewhere out there in the world, hopefully in as a good condition.

                      Pretty sure I've seen one of these before on sale on a french website. One of the best colour schemes for the DT in my opinion, but as you said almost impossible to find. I think I've only ever seen 1 on sale...

                        Thanks @minia this sounds like the site where unit5 purchased from, the bike supposedly only had one french owner from new and was kept on a holiday park hence the low millage at roughly 500 miles per year which is not too bad. I must admit i'd never seen this colour before purchasing but very happy I did 🙂

                          @rollzy101 I'm often in france so I keep an eye on things, I generally use leboncoin.fr which is the equivalent of gumtree. Keep in mind the french are much more enthusiastic about DTs, and are generally in much better condition and cheaper. A few crackers for you to nibble on:

                            @minia Wow some lovely bikes on there! its amazing how original they keep their bikes when you compare them to UK models. My latest DT still had its original tyres from 19 years ago 🙂 Nothing beats an unmolested DT lol

                              Either it's a completely black bike or I can't see picture? I'm hooked now to see it!

                                      @minia I'm amazed, i've been searching for months and you've found one, thank you 🙂

                                      Last night I managed to locate the original owner in France on Facebook, hopefully he's going to send some original pictures, the bike was only really used around a campsite in Calais so not too hard life.

                                        @rollzy101 Well of course you didnt find it in the last few months, the ad only came online at half 6 this morning lol. But there you go, as soon as you find one, you find another haha.

                                          That is lovely that. The condition of that one in the ad as well, for the money you can't go wrong!

                                            @minia lol yeah i see that it was early this morning, as you say when you find one, typically another pops up 🙂

                                            it's not a bad price for the condition and still pretty low millage for it age, all decals are present and looks completely original, just needs a little TLC from someone on this forum 😉
