Any pics of the bike? I'd love to see some practising or even a little info about the bike.

That was a sweet looking bike to start with, I would like to see what they come up with for the evo series.

Hope they built him a good bike. The YZ's of that era weren't known for making much power, but the ones Bradshaw rode were the ticket. And it never ceases to amaze me the number of full on works bikes that crawl out of the woodwork on that side of the pond. Some seriously trick hardware shows up for the races over there! I remember seeing pics of an aluminum framed YZM500 on the track a few years back at one of their races.

Wasn't the Bradshaw revolution cool to watch? Then We got to see James on a 125. Couple of the baddest dudes to ever fire up a tiddler.

Does that good looking bike have those seal saver things on the forks? I'd rather rebuild forks every moto than have those things on my bike.Sick

Is that a 125? BTW I kind of like the seal savers. They're not very retro, but they seem to work good. Just sayin, Cool

The pic is of a meeting last year riding one of the team mechanics yz125 h I think. He uses it in the pre 83 125 championship that runs over here.
Its a big championship with full line ups and even team races against the french championship.

Laughing No doubt they work great. They just look like ass on a vintage bike. And when you are as slow as I am, your bike better look really nice. lol

Yeah not a big fan of the fork condoms, but I just got these in today. Do these receive the Newmann Approval? Will post up complete pics when bike is together, from start to finish.

I had one of those bikes. I have many memories on it. I remember in about 2000 I still had that bike and the kick starter fell off and the clutch would slip. My buddy would race it while I raced a 2000 yz125. He would have to ride the bike around till the gate dropped and then take off. Good times.

Damn, looks like a powdercoated frame and a painted subframe. Whoever matched that paint to that powdercoat must be a borderline genass. Looks like Yamaha Ti pegs on a Honda?

So sweet. The Chesterfield stuff has always been a favorite of mine. I had a 90 YZ250 that was a beast. Don't remember the 125's being "all that" back then, but the works hardware was always off the charts anyway.

Yeah out of the crate the 125's were slugs. I don't know what they did to the factory bikes for Emig to be able to win the outdoor title in '91. I do remember the 250 being way faster than my '90 RM250
