That is one clean leg burning machine.

$1,800 today would be about $505 in 1979. I guess a new YZ-125F would be around $1,100-1,200 back in 1979.
Less than 1/2 price for a used bike with inflation figured in... lol!
The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him or her wrong.
U.K. list price for a 1977 YZ125D was £720.00. A '77 RM125B was £785.16.
Why TF should I remember those exact prices when I can't remember someone's name two seconds after being introduced...?
Try finging a pre 1975 mustang in good-excellent condition for less than the new msrp price.
