But don't know enough about the modern 2stroke or the pedigree of the modern suzy to really know for sure if it is a goodie model.

That looks a good buy. I got my rm 125 1994 for the same price.
In fact .......

That sucks, have to keep looking for another good deal. I do know where you can get an 08 KX125 for around the 5K mark, just had top end done.....

as much as I would really want one, that's just a way too much above my price range...well as set by the boss lady! I'ze just have to suck in the big one and practice a wee bit more patience.

Stuff that! once is enough, man that was a work out and a half! I must have worked up more sweat soaking me than the rain did. I've been spoilt riding the KX125 and now want it all! Besides I don't think my son appreciates Dad swiping his bike.

Frosty is to busy at moment to get out for a ride. We are heading out tomorrow with kids for a quick one. The boss has something planned for Thursday so cannot go then as well. Will catch up when you get back from the farm, maybe I will have all our bikes going then (Sisters one is now in pieces fixing the leaking coolant) then I could have a look at your XR....

Hey you could look at it as a winter project! I've been wondering what to do about it, whether to fix it or part it out. I guess it could do as a back up bike or even when the kids get a bit bigger.

Easier to sell when it is actually going...... But good back-up as well. Will soon be a vintage, then worth double price. Have fun at the farm, expect a full report when you get back.
