Project SUPERMOTO DT 125

[Rift.]

Great! I've finally got my first bike (not including ped). It a '90 DT 125R

Soooo happy

It's still in pieces, but all the pieces I have are great. Let me explain...

Its an unfinished project. I bought off Ebay.

The parts I have include:

Supermoto wheels: Hagon (custom made) + new hubs
Dunlop gp207s all round
Renthal bars
Completely new piston and bored out barrel (ready for me to abuse hehehe)
Full Dep system
Black powder coated frame
I think it has a new shock/spring

I have the panels and I'm going to spray them black (black frame black bike).

So after I put it all together it should be great fun..

and for you guys, here are some pics:

WOW! That bike will be WICKED!!!

It's an older model DT, de-restrict, sort out valves and jets and it will shock you for a 125. Very good first bike, both on and off the road.

Are they standard DT wheels with road tyres on? Or are they off another bike?

That looks lovely, where do you live, what hours are you out of the house and what kind of security is on the bike?

Very nice project mate! You have started with a good basis for an SM bike as you already have the most expensive parts sorted out the wheels & suspension. It shouldnt take loads of money to make that into a cracking little supermoto! My KMX is going to go the same way eventually, but its going to be around £400-450 for the wheels to be built onto original hubs, and the suspension needs sorting out, taller shock and re-build the forks. Im hoping to spend most of the cash on the motor and cosmetics though, as i want about 38-40bhp to put a smile on my face, or else i might still consider an engine transplant, if i can find something that fits reasonably easily, would prefer a 2stroke, but maybe a lightweight 4stroke twin would also be worth considering?

well done Marcos, you can get acerbis lights for 50 quid from colin collins i think? You gonna enjoy riding out in summer then!!!

you got an awful lot of work to do mate but once its done, I think that will look awsome. I like the super fat rims too

The good thing about the DT is you can get universal parts for them!

Keep it up! looking really good. I started a Suzuki TS185 supermoto project once, but couldnt afford it, and bought a ZXR 400 instead

Ermm, a bit late now, but a couple of thoughts...
The rear wheel looks a bit wide for the power you got (though not sure how wide it is, so it may just be the way it looks in the pics). A wider wheel will slow down the turning in speed to some degree.

Also, even the narrowist GP207's are designed for 50hp+ really. This means you may not get the best from them because they don't heat up enough. For your next set of tyres, if you can get them in the right sizes, I'd try the 39ss, or maybe a gpr70 which does slightly bigger sizes the 090 is also a possibility.
