I found two of them on craigslist in North Carolina. The guy had them in storage for 25 years. Both are real clean and original. He put new tires on them and had the carbs rebuilt. I bought two new batteries for each and they crank right on up. They also crank on the first pull with the pull-start. You'd be hard pressed to find one, much less two of them in the condition these are in. Let me find my digital camera and I'll post some pictures. They're either 1984 or 1985.

Hi and welcome.
You may find the orig sales brochures on one of the front pages of 3ww.
FUN to read and more fun to ride.

Reasonable price?

Let's just say I bought both for what a new one cost in 1985. I think they're worth every penny. They are in phenomenol shape.

My pops put my digital camera in some oddball place. He's asleep, but I'll put the pictures up later today.

Good score.
Also glad no one got there before you.

I just got my first 125m so not too sure what to look for as far as preventative maint.
or weak points to address.

Sounds like you got orig owner bookends, stored inside all their life to boot, eh?
I got a couple 110s like that with very close serial numbers.
Maybe yours are sequential numbers?? Wouldn't THAT be a hoot!

Congrats again.

Now you'll need another one that you can get dirty and keep these inside

;-)I'll have to check the numbers on them. I think I'll keep one stored and the other one is for light riding. I've gotten too old for daredevil hill climbing and being reckless like I used to be on ATV's. Also, here are some pics as promised!!!

I'm always on the search for a nice 125M as it will likely be the next bike. You're fortunate to have such nice examples, take care of 'em!

Very nice! Very very nice! Did you clean that before the pics? Wanna sell one?I actually got them a little bit dirtier before I took the pics. I rode both of them a little and you can see I kicked a little dirt up on the underside of the fenders. I actually may consider selling one of them. Give me a couple of days and we'll discuss it.

Hey, more pics. This time I took photos of both and some extra items to reveal my personality, since I'm a noob, lol.

Oh, almost forgot. They were built in July of '84 but they are the '85 model.
