If you're going to fit that swingarm why not use the gilera wheel? Or TZR250/FZR400 wheel?

You got a bargain right there.

Is the engine all sound? I'd be tempted to get it fully rebuilt for reassurance. But that'd eat nearly half of your budget away.

Keep the thread updated. I love the little 2 strokes. Very Happy

She's some looker alright! Thumbs Up

There won't be a blue one left in the uk that's as clean as that now, the paintwork is stunning!

I nearly bid on a TS125X on Ebay at the weekend, as I fancy another 125cc project. But I remembered the pile of KMX200 bit's under my workbench at the back of a garage I can't get into, so I just painted my fence instead! Laughing

I bet it sounds good with that NOS Giannelli fitted too!
