DT125R FORUM

Just looking on YouTube and saw an advert for a brand new DT 125/175 air-cooled bike complete with drum brakes. Why can't we get them? I think there for the south American country's

@calum I will agree with you about the sweet spot....RD 125, 250 ,350 ,500 not counting the 50 or air cooled modles as well as rgv 250, 500 plus the Dt modles......CR's....KX's the list goes on..its just the sound and smell of a two stroke preferably with a non standard pipe/s . As for electric bikes I'm coming round to these as I like some of the e-mountain bikes but at around 3 grand for a good one I can get a well sorted DTR for that. Plus I've had motorbikes since I was 18 and have never considered myself a biker but just love riding and tinkering with them. But due to my wife being ill and work have had a four year break and I'm now looking forward to getting back into them and getting a DTR is now the goal.

@calum 7 years eek! The thing is you have to be committed to the cause! ,and most people can't wait to get a bigger bike than a 125. I went suzuki gp 100 , Kawasaki Ar 125 , Kawasaki gpz 500s and then dropped to the kmx 200 which is a bike I absolutely loved and have had 2 and wish I had never sold (except for the second one lost that when divorced )would have loved to have tried a DT 200 or a DT 230 lanzer? Have been hankering for a DTR for a few years now and if I can't manage it this year then hopefully when can draw some of my pension ( God wasn't I 18 not long ago) next year I will get one then!

@calum just nice to see this forum is still going strong....if I remember wasn't there something with the original founder and ownership?...anyway come Easter and the garage will be cleaned out and my gsxf will be unearthed and at some point I want to do a swap for a DTR ..

Haven't posted for a few years! I had thought that the site was winding down, so nice to see it's still going strong!

@Bluestoesonnose the bike in your profile is like one I had I swapped a air cooled rd 250 for had the dt for a few months then swapped it for a Honda cx 500 . one day I will learn....At the moment I have a gsx750f waiting for a new battery and mot ,when I get this sorted I will then sell or swap for a dt

@NINJA cheers for the reply. have had 3 and 1/2 dts in the past a 125mx two 125r's and a 50mx the 125mx had the usual 80s bolt on goodies which I think I still have a list of somewhere the dt125 r both had the power valve pinned open one with a standard exhaust the other just had a dep tail pipe, I've had two kmx 200's which I still rate as the best two strokes I've ever had but these are getting very expensive and I want something to play around with and you cannot get a fraction of bits like the dt's

hoping to be getting my arse in gear in feb and getting a dt. am thinking of getting a French import as these are unrestricted , are they a better bet than a uk bike as I would like one with a working power valve as apposed to pegged open

@calum just looked and yes they did do it....Honda Goldwing along with the kitchen sink, but a bike I've wanted
