Well I'm coming to an end with the wolf & I'm already looking for another project to do. After reading Mugenseiki's thread I quite fancy a DTR or a TS-R & SMing it, also wouldn't mind another aprilia RS, suggestions? the bike would need to be as cheap as possible. Thumbs Up

TSR would be nice, as they are the rarest 125 Jap trail bike, and they always looked a bit more agressive and taller than the DTR or KMX etc.

How about something different? I've always wanted to get an old TZR125L and put a tuned XT350 lump into one for example.

Having said that i like old rare bikes, for road bike 125's id like a Honda MBX project or a Kawasaki AR project i think. You never see either on the road anymore which is a good enough reason for me to want one.

I've got a CRM125 project that I'd let go for a sensible sum.
It does include a spare set of wheels (enduro size, but ideal for supermoto rim conversion Smile) and a load of other spares.

Should make a good road bike with the NSR engine, though a KMX would probably be a bit better trail bike.

Unfortunately I don't want rock bottom prices, though it's a bit tatty, as I know it's worth *something* at least. Planning to stick an MOT on in the next few weeks hopefully.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Can't seem to think of anything else at the mo. Have thought about getting another RG but the FUN model with fairing. Will have to wait & see. Thumbs Up

Have some real fun and challenge and fix up an old Yamaha FS1E that would be great to see.

DT SM would be easy as the X wheels pop up quite often and are around £200.

TS-R would be harder as there are hardly ever any spares on ebay, you might as well get a TS200R Wink

If I could start over I'd get me another DT200WR and SM that Cool
