A mate of mine got left this in a will from an old engineer who he sold a few campers to over a good few years, The old bloke spent 15 years rebuilding and upgrading this little 125cc monkey bike. it is tuned to f**k and even has NOS, No way on this planet would i take it out on the road Lol,

I'd give it a rattle no bother, was thinking about buying a new one a few years ago but bought a mtb instead. 

The bloke that built it is dead now but he spent 15 years on the build.

Yeah it looks like a bike built with with care, I'd still take it for a spin.

The Bloke was a lovely bloke but a bit of an odd ball, He once brought a Tag axle camper van off a mate of mine, Drove it all the way up to the Highlands, Parked up near a beach, Then immediately drove it all the way back to my mate, as he could not get a signal on the TV to watch Coronation Street.

To restore a monkey bike to that sort of condition you definitely need to be a little bit Special.

I would have to have a go.. pick a nice day and ring the life out of it before parking it up and cleaning it..

That would be it for me. Just 1 go

Tbf for a 125 if it’s been restored that well , it’s bullet proof, and  should run decent … you ain’t getting much more for your money if it goes like it should , what’s the top speed on it ?
