    Dont worry, no more of my older bikes after this one!! promise!

    So before i moved on into the world of 600 sport bikes i got my hands on an RS 125, it took months to find the right one, and i still wasnt happy....
    but after days and days and days of hand polishing the frame. got bits sprayed up, replaced all wheel bearings, headstock bearings, rear caliper, master cylender, and brake hose, pads all round, top end re build...... it goes on and on and on.......

    heres just a couple of pics of it stripped

    and here it is before i sold it.... 3 engine re builds later ..... hence the reason for doing my test and upgrading.... im just power hungry

    i owned the bike for about 12 months all in all, it was my only transport and spent its whole life in the powervalve rev range, as my trip to work was through some nice country lanes, clocked up quite a few miles in that time but not to warrent 3 rebuilds, it took the p*ss! ha
