What makes these "old bikes" kick ass is the fact that the YZM500 works bike above would cost more to build than some people spent on their house. Other than that, no big deal....

well anyone can just walk into a shop and buy a new bike .makes it less kick ass than an (old) kick ass bike ,with works parts that no one can buy .and is rare . Yes there are some class brand new bikes with great stuff on it , but at the end of the day thats just money ( still cool). RARE, is super cool to me ,

I agree, that's basically what I meant but I don't think it came across that way to some. That YZM500 is basically a unicorn.

Oil in the swingarm? Is it oil injected?

Not 100% sure but It appears so as fuel mileage would be a problem for a screaming 125 in a race like that,so utilizing the hollow swingarm space for the oil injection.all i had to go on in the bike description was a "2.5 litre oil reserve in the swingarm" and those pictures.what else could it be??

Yeah, that's the only reason I could think of that you would have an oil tank on a 125. For oil injection. Seems like a good idea on a Dakar two stroke.
