Wes Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hi everyone! Newbie here, and glad to be riding again soon! From 1978-80 I raced a YZ125 in motocross, then sold it for an IT 175 a few years later, which I had for 7 years....So it's been a long time! At 45 now, I wanted a classic Yamaha enduro to tinker with..... I just looked at a bike tonight that I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy. The guy said it was a 1971 125 Enduro that he bought for his daugter, but she doesn't like it! From what I can tell it's a 1973 DT125? He has no title, so it's tough.....quite a few bikes I've looked at don't have titles! The bike really is quite nice for the price ($650), and everything works great including the electric start and all the light/blinkers etc. It's just for my cabin up north, but I might want to title it for occasional street use (DMV said it was pretty easy to do). Any thoughts on what this bike really is? Is that a fair price? What's the deal with all these off-road enduro bikes with no titles? Thanks all, and I look forward to being part of the forum!

BAZ Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Looks like a nice bike, see if you can talk him down a little. I also bought a bike without title recently and I've heard its not an easy feat to get the title. I bought my xs400 with the intentions of teaching myself to ride, I only paid 100 bucks for it and its in pretty decent shape. What state are you in? I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and after some searching found this in regards to registering a bike with lost/no title: http://www.anubiscycle.com/lost-title-wisconsin.htm I'm sure the process varies from state to state though.

Wes Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'm in Minnesota neighbor! Thanks for the info, I had a title issue on an old car once....Kind of a pain, but this bike is mainly for my summer cabin trails. Cheers, Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowcat Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The bike is a 1973 AT3 125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted May 11, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2007 I used to have a '73 DT125...but mine had a high front fender, a slip-on silencer that routed behind the shock.... an electric starter ...& the Enduro badge on the left side panel. Could these be the subtle differences between the AT3 & the DT that year? Great little bike though.......got it to do 75mph once down a deserted road along the beach... which I didn't think was too bad for it's age. BTW..... to the forum guys!

Wes Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hey folks! I made the guy an offer offer, and have the little bugger home with me right now! He still claimed it to be a 71, but I figured different and was right..... He bought it for his daughter 5 years ago, and she drove it very little. The production was in 7/72, so he thought backwards on the year...oh well, he must not have needed any parts (even though they're probably quite similar). It is a 1973 AT3....all original with 2400 miles, and runs perfect! AT3 1973 AT1-200101 AT1-232651 Bahia Blue Mine is AT1-206XXX Thanks for the help, and I look forward to chatting in the future. Nice job snowcat! Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevncolo. Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I must've got its 1st cousin... 2339 orig. miles, Bahia Blue just getting things sorted out... A shame I'm unable to post my pics of the bike... Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
