just found on the net. New dtr 125 and doesn't she look the biz new colour upside down forks as standard new style exhaust pipe mag wheels the list goes on ,pitty its 1 Chinese 2 a 4stroke 3 a total rip on the dtr name and 4 how long till it falls apart ........
i blew my dt up ... but i fixed it.... Then i crashed it.... but i didnt fix it right and 2 scouser's come in the middle of the night and left me with a working bike
if the new dtr didn't grab you what about a Yamasaki ? talk about ripping a name or two off.. and its a 50cc being touted as an up to date fizzy (if you are old enough to remember them)
OMFG Im gona have nightmares now .........................
thats true horror and the crazy fact is kids out there are buying these chinese lumps of scrap ... just to see some one parked at lights reving away like crazy as if he is on a super sport awsome bike always brings a smile to my face .
changing the topic slightly ..........but could some one please tell me why this is worth £ 2500 yes 2and a half k that's what its up for on ebay. am I on a different planet or something ?
No idea, its only an AR50 not exactly a top performer. They must think a collector will think its worth that kind of money. It will be for sale for a very long time... !
There is a mint AR80A1 the original model on ebay for £1500 or best offer, my mate suggy had an identical one of these when we were 16 on our YTS jobs registered as a 50 tuned a bit with a Micron etc on it. Was a little flying machine, bringing back memory's now lol.

I had a 79 DT50M on a T plate, identical to this one, I then built a Red 76 FS1E with a YB100 engine in it...... then a Black 82 DT175MX identical to this one registered as a 125 when I was 17...... and guess what, Ive still got it lol nearly 30 years later A42 AJR. Its on a sorn in cardboard boxes in my mothers loft.........

i had a dt 125mx in the same horrid pinky red (repainted it black) was a good little bike and just as fast as the mk1 dt lc. also a mate (olli) had a ar80 the same time i had my ar125 and the dam thing was nearly as quick... a lot of the 80s ended up being donors to make the 50s quicker. olli wrote a metro off with his 80.he was going flat out on it when a woman driver pulled out on him he put the drivers door in by about one and a half foot and broke her pelvis. he was in intensive care for two weeks hospital for nearly two months .he still got the 80 up and running again total nutter. still no way would i pay two and a half k for a 50....a fizzy maybe if i won the euro. but would prefer a rgv 500
not good then ha ha .trouble is at first look they seem like good bikes. If you have no experience of bikes you would probably go for one. it always seems to be reliability or lack of spares. that or they are just crap.
yup this kid i know got a sinnis cruiser droped it at 5mph in front of me bent the frame next day engine went pop shop said he over reved it no warrnetee next thing hes bought a second one at 1.3k each now that frame has bent in same place and now forks are bent
