Hi

At 1985 it will be an RD125LC.

Several versions of the LC. Original version had an 18" front wheel, later ones (mk 2) had 16" front wheels. Final versions used the engine from the TZR125, sometimes known as RDZ125.

The plain RD125 was an air cooled 125cc twin. Late versions had front disk brakes but early ones used a drum front brake.

All the best

Is there anything i should look out for on those bikes?

Hi

Not much knowledge of them. They are pretty tough engines.

Probably best to pop over the the RD Forum.

The LC in RD125LC stands for Liquid Cooled.

All the best
