finnerz89 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Found one for sale not far from me, wondered if anyone on here has any experience of them? It looks pretty sweet to me but I've only ever seen a few sketchy videos on YouTube and 1 other for sale. Would it be a worthwhile investment perhaps?

Moderator Airhead Posted August 22, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2014 they werent officially imported here in the uk , I imagine getting spares may be a challenge but if the bike is complete and without issues it might be worth a punt...however because of it's rarity it's never going to be a 'sought after' bike is it? Bit like a DT125R will extra Ooomph but when the exhaust goes you're off the road for a long long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted August 22, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2014 Its a dt with a big bore thats done right. Does everything the 125 not a lot more does just dearer. Like Airhead said. Buy a 125 fit a quality bigbore and you have a better bike tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 All good points! I did manage to find some good info earlier and by the sounds of it it's a bit of a mish mash of different bikes. I did wonder about the exhaust, especially after seeing how the original on my DT faired after a British winter. Thanks for the advice guys!

finnerz89 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah and skimming through that list there's a lot thats interchangeable with dt125re/x. Going to give it a miss though, I'm more interested in the dt175 the bloke has for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
