hi guys,ive just brought a 1993 tdr 125,13000 miles on the clock,it was a non runner,ive just got it running,and ive booked it in for a mot next week,are they any good?are they nippy? any advice?thanks steve
TDR's are a cracking bike Steve, basically its an early Supermoto version of the DTR, same frame i think or pretty much the same, later versions changed to the Deltabox frame, engine is pretty much same as the DTR one too, the must have TDR is the Belgrada version, built in Italy, got imported to England so there may be a slight chance yours could be, the year tallies. check the head and barrell for a stamped "P" where it says the 124cc, thats a pointer, if it has "SP" stamped there its a 38bhp monster and your sitting on a fortune. if the vin starts with a 4dl or 3sh its an Italia, if I remember rightly.
I'm not knocking it. I just haven't owned one. I'd prefer to have the Jap rather than Italian bike anyway.
38BHP! You are joking arn't you? That's 10bhp greater than the Aprilia RS125! 38BHP Is close to GP standard! I wouldn't be surprised if that was worth a fortune. I'm guna wana link to these 38BHP monsters!
I mean a full power Aprilia RS125 is about 28BHP (Older models) So ten more brake out of that! My RS will flip if I don't keep the front down. That would be amazing!
Aye you try getting hold of one though, and we're talking race engines here not road, so aye, somebody woulda thrown some money into developing them from the normal TDR engines. Do a google search read up about it, I came across the info, when researching parts for the TDR stuff on my bike.
Trust me Calum, am not spouting it out me arris mate, 38 bhp was the "sp" 33bhp was the"p" developed for a french race series.
hmmm are you sure the 'p' engines are 33bhp? ive got 2 of them and they dont seem to be that powerful, i have blown one up though and the other is getting rebuilt, should get it back on the weekend
If you find a linky show me please. I had a mooch on youtube but didn't find much. The one they claimed was an italian Spa model didn't look very fast. Neither did it sound it. Also those TDR's are enduro's. Wouldn't surprise me much out of a TZR cause they're bit more sportier.
i didnt have much cash,and i got this for peanuts.
