Is this a rare DT125?

@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.

@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

Thats rare in the uk they were never sold here, common in France and Switzerland though.

@scrimsmustang Thanks, I thought this might be the case

I have a couple of new genuine yamaha decals for it if you damage yours in the future, headlamp cowl and the rad shroud.

@rollzy101 can I ask you where did you get the graphics you said you were lucky to find them. I have the same graphics on my DTR125 and I need the full set. This is rare there are only 4 or 5 of them in the UK I got my one from unit 5 as well.

@brian-stephens I've not used them myself but Adi hullah @rebound Mx graphics seems to be highly recommended for custom/reproduction graphics. Check out his Facebook page.

@brian-stephens I've only found 3x original NOS decals online since 2017, your better of getting them reproduced. I managed to buy some second hand tank fairings with the same decals but they just don't come up online. A few weeks back i managed to get one of the side panel graphics but as i say only 3x NOS found in the last 4 years, they just didn't make many of this colour i reckon. Keep looking online and eventually they will hopefully come up mate.

@rollzy101 the problem with getting them reprinted is when you look at the red of the decal it has a very small amount of glitter in it hazard graphics on Facebook have told me they can do me the full set for 60 pounds but they won't have the glitter in the graphics.

@brian-stephens True, the blue is also hard to reproduce, i got side panels reproduced a while back and red was ok but the blue stood out more. If your doing the whole bike you wouldn't notice it though
