Good 125's

They look great, I've had a look at them and when I was 17 I'd have loved one.

YPVS 350 engine goes in

It does - I saw @Screwdriver 's half-finished one yonks ago, although I think they're far nicer as original 125s.

-Screwd- is it finished yet, and how's the RG/MV coming on?

Someone was selling a Mito frame already modified to take a YPVS engine not long ago, they didn't want big money for it, trouble is people are asking £2000 for YPVS engines, I paid £2200 for my whole bike a year ago.

I'd have said £850 is about right for an unknown running YPVS engine, I think the £2K people are trying it on in a big way, but they seem confident of selling at that price.

I certainly can't be arsed with a Mito, I'm too big to fit on one, if I had a spare engine I'd buy a YPVS frame, get it braced around the steering head and build a YPVS with good suspension and modern sized wheels and brakes, I might end up doing this with my YPVS, but I want to build it as an 80s bike first, if I don't like the handling, it get's new wheels etc, if I don't like the engine the whole thing gets sold, I haven't ridden one for 30 years so I may not like one now.

Hang on to it, it's only going to go up in value, though there must get a point where all the silly old fools who want LCs have them.

The Mito isn't too small, and its a decent stretch to the bars. Its no CG125

My one has had a full engine rebuild, new bearings throughout, powder coated wheels, new tyres, Arrow end can, de-restricted (so 33ish bhp), and full respray in Ducati yellow.

Might sell it, as it is in the UK and I'm not. I think just owning it is good enough, as I've been told they will go up in value (but that's not why I still own it)
