This DT has been subject to a complete restoration taking many hours, I have spent well over £3, 500 on new parts and paint. Since restoration is has stood as a show piece in my collection so needs running in and the usual two stroke fettling.

A really nice bike in stunning overall condition and a great colour scheme, now ready to be run in and enjoyed. I have tried to keep the bike to its original spec and visual appearance. Though I cannot verify the mileage, following a complete rebuild the engine sounds very quiet and revs cleanly, obviously will require careful running in.
Photographs will come with the bike showing the restoration process.
The bike is originally from France. I have the Yamaha dating certificate, and NOVA registration so once MOT’d the next custodian will be the first owner on the UK V5. I can help with the completion of the V55/ 5 DVLA form if needed.
Interest in the DT125LC’s is increasing, and values continue to rise, so such a nice example will be a great addition to any Yamaha enthusiast’s collection.
