Indeed the the last real race bike. Pity to see them held by collectors. Race bikes were made to race. When the power isn't easy to access it teaches you to make the most of what you have.

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

What 'info and specs to make one of these babies haul arse big time' are you referring to?
Forum whore
info from the man who built the fastest 125 bikes in the UK according to speed traps. And as used by Cameron jones against a hot rod ridden by midge smart here years ago.

Frank Wrathall by chance?

Nope, my old crew chief sponsor kevin stevens. He is not a prffessional race enging builder, just a very cleaver man that loves 2 strokes and is very very good with them.

KS is well known for good stuff around the 2-stroke GP traps.

Any thing Kevin turns his hand too is brilliant. He is a very gifted man. His 2 stroke passion started with Racing Go Carts, he was UK champion many moons ago.
He designed a set of bell mouths for my GSXR600 that put out more tourque and more HP than any other brand availlable on the world wide market, Proven with buying them all and doing dyno tune runs on all of them.
Ducati told him to leave a 5 day course on electronics for Ducati race teams after 2 days only, he knew as much as they did that quickly hahahaha
He also builds extremelly fast and reliable BMW race bikes, he loves the internall quality of them, but hates the gearbox as it comes, but knows how to modify them to stop any issues with them.
125GP!!!
I would hope so. Thats overpriced really. Piss poor spares, no spare wheels (Which alone is at least a 1000$ loss).
There are heaps of 125's for sale in NZ, just not advertised as usually its word of mouth in this class for selling bikes.

How many 125s are turning up a club level in Auckland?
Hardcore Biker
About 3, but they run in F3 and/or 2 stroke Gp so there's plenty of other bikes to race against on track.

What a shame, such a great bike. Maybe I need to help change that.

Some great info, thoughts and comments on this thread from some very knowledgeable people.
125's are quite a subject it seems.
I have decided to get my boy on one for his next racing step, was undecided until King of Ruapuna round 4.
It was the sound that did it.....oh yea and the smell!
Thanks to all for advice and comments.

Excellent move, talk to either Kevin Goddard or Steve Ward. They will set you in the right direction.
