Just look at all the ones you can find and take someone with you who knows about the old girls. DO NOT buy one from the bay without having a good look at it first. On these bikes the camera can be very generous and the real expensive stuff wont be apparent untill you get a good look at it in the flesh.

Also these bikes although the 175 seems to be the favourite at the mo seem to be attracting the cheque book charlies at the moment and that is making everything unrealisticly dear. On e-b@y the brakers are hawking out rubbish to cash in and that includes bikes which have been lobbed together as 'good first restoration' but are actually a load of ol crap tarted up to flese somebody of their hard earned.

As far as reccomending a site tbh you are probably on it. Try posting in the off road/trail section , the wanteds would be worth a try too.

Thanks for the info and i will try what you said, i know a bit about them, had one in the eighties, just thought it could be a project. They were excellent bikes.

125 are like rocking horse poo, if you think about it back in the day you could ride 175's and 125's on L plates...guess which won...
