Something different eye catching 1987 Yamaha DT125 LC YPVS
Original UK matching numbers bike showing 7, 933 miles. Registered on 29th September 1987. E91 MME.
The bike had been off the road for many years prior to me buying it.
This DT has been subject to a complete restoration taking many hours, I have spent well over £3, 000 on new parts and paint. As something different to the standard, the bike is in Yamaha Yellow which was never a colour available on the 125’s. The UK bikes didn’t have the powervalve functioning, but I have fitted a working powervalve servo to this bike. Since restoration is has stood as a show piece in my collection so needs running in and the usual two stroke fettling.
In brief the bike has benefited from:
Powder coated frame, footpeg hangers, swingarm, yokes, luggage rack, handlebars, yokes, and various brackets

A really nice bike in stunning overall condition and a great colour scheme, now ready to be run in and enjoyed. 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.
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.
Asking £5, 950 onoCompletely unique colour scheme, you will not find another like this.
