So my buddy is selling this, it's been sitting 20 years, engine turns over, been stored dry, but plenty of corrosion. Six thousand km on the clock and it's probably true. Tell me I don't want a finicky 250 bhp/ltr explosive powerband impractical smells great does something funny in my pants purple two stroke. I am struggling so hard not to.

If it's fun to tinker with, you've got the skills, and it's for a ludicrously good price, go for it. Otherwise, don't take up garage space you could fill with bigger bikes. Maybe make it a farm, track or 'learner' bike for your friends.

it's got all three, and i have some rs125 spares that seem to fit. the bikes i do have in my stable don't really scratch this itch, i think i'm gonna take it.
