i think its a rd 125 engine

cant tell 100% from your photo but on the image below look at the front sprocket cover it has a circular thing with lines on and on the outer circle of the magnet casein at the top there a square sticking out

Surely it's worth about that all day long? Even without papers in parts?

Is a possibility the engine might be stolen though, or the bike altogether.

Heck, would make a nice project if you were after something like that. :)

yeah could be worth that as a project and by no means are we saying the dt-rd lc engines are no good fact is if thats fitted right and running ok it could be a fast bike the old lc engines was great . as for the dtr side of it plastics and tank look crappy no real value there seat not to bad then forks frame and wheels ok as parts and a bonus if the frame has numbers and can be registerd or get v5 ..

you could maybe make the money back by ripping the engine streight out and selling on

Plus it must have the rd loom and cdi to run

I think the guy is Finnish or somewhere around them parts of Europe.

But I guess they have the same sort of procedures over there with vehicles.

Yup seems like an rd125 engine on a dt125 frame
I don't think any of it is stolen, he said he have been screwing with bikes for his whole life, and that his children have used the bike while they were kids. He also had a homemade gokart on that car trailer.
I'm not really interrested in buying it or so, since it's in such bad shape, and the engine isn't really any particular engine, just a 20hp rd125 engine.

But thanks for the replys, I was just curious what kind of bike it was as I've never seen such an engine on that bike :)
