Sweet ride! I would like to know more about the particulars of this bike, I have a unknown/unbranded subframe for an 86 CR125, now thinking could be Mugen?

No its more likely a VRP unit I had one and a thier swingarm on my 86. Distributed by pro circuit back then and on the line racing still pretty rare.

Thank's, Yeah was told could be P-C, I thought if it where VRP it would have the brand name on it somewhere, I can't find any markings or I.D. on it anywhere? Still a nice bit of kit who ever made it, Would love one of the swingarms!

The early VRP frames carry no labels. You normally only see them on 89 or newer frames, and even that is not always guarantied.

Yours looks like VRP. I think 86 was also the first year they were available.

Fun fact: The old Pro Circuit bike stands were made by VRP (I think). The tubular aluminum is exactly the same as the sub frames.
