Im interested to know about the TZR125s

Seen this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

(missing fairings??)

Might just go and have a look at it maybe have a go if i can.

So....

1. is there much performance difference between a dt125lc mk3 and a Tzr?

2. what are TZR125s like??

(i think i'm getting hungry for another project!! should finish the DT125 really! )

i loved my tzr! could get 90 when derestricted(and it was just a old crapper i got from a mate) if you can get it at the right price for you then go fer it B)

Totally different engines. The DT125LC has the same engine as the RD125LC and the TZR125 is the same as the early DT125R.

It's a chuffing great little bike though. If you decide to get one, don't try and change the rear wheel for something a little wider and 17" (stock is 2.5" x 17"- skinny) because it's near enough impossible. And don't buy that one. It's an early (2RK model, tubed tyres) one with the 16" front wheel and rear drum brake. Try and get one of the later 3PC2 or 3PC3s ('90-on, I think) with the 17" front wheel and rear disc.

For the record, I got an indicated 100mph out of mine :D:D. Chuffing brilliant.

I thought that was one of the crappy ones.

is it the TZR125R i'd be really wanting?

I'm not even sure why i have this sudden interest! It only came on this afternoon!?! :huh:

I think this last week i've been gettin the feelin......."i think i would like a bit more power??"

My LC is alright, it does the job......but........it maxs out at 60mph and the revs peak a bit early. Also it doesnt feel very secure on the road!

I know i want to do my licence and get a larger bike but.............i dont know! i think i've confused myself!

...then theres the idea of a two stroke 250cc sports type bike!!!!

if the 125cc goes like a shitter, i suppose the 250cc would be the dogs bollocks!

(....then i'll end up blowing it and i'll be forced to get a YZF-R1) :lol::lol:

Lol! Had 2 of them! They are a hoot too...

The TZR125R is the looker though, and the TZR250 3XV (v-twin). They look pretty much the same (same frame-ish)... except you can put TZ250 barrels and pipes on the 250 :D

TZR125RR- Italian import; more power but dodgy looks, same frame as the TZR250 3MA (reverse cylinder)

Thing is though, once you get used to the power you'll want more. That's when you buy an RD350 YPVS and transplant the engine... http://uk.geocities.com/mickt26

But try http://www.tzr250.plus.com for more info and pics of TZRs.

Quick/powerful? Well, a stock 350 F2 makes 63bhp (claimed) so they're fast enough. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I've never ridden an RD of any description :( I hope that'll change though. I just wanted more power and swapping the 660 thumper for a 350 stroker twin seemed the best and most fun way to go. I could've thrown a few hundred quid at the 660 but what's the point? It'd still be a 4 str*ke <_< And everyone knows they suck :P

Go to http://www.yamaha-rd.com if you want some more info on the RD.

Interesting? Yes, if you like 80s/90s 2 strokes :D And they're infinitely modifiyable (is that even a word?)

as regards the fairing the tzr as standard never had a fairing,it was an optional extra,the bike you are looking at looks quite clean but if you do decide to unrestrict it you do lose some reliability,all those saying peg the power valve open that is all right untill you have to run it in,then you will wish you had a working powervalve!
