the 125 was used to homologate the RDto germany in 1982, then used for the 12hp limit in uk, Yamaha donated it to a college in Staines, I bought it from the ex caretaker . All verified by Yamaha.....

if its the right bike,its the one in the lc book(with niall mckenzies bike on cover)that was used by yamaha netherlands to develop the 250 lc.it had rd 400 alloy wheels on it,was blue/white,single front disc,even the first 350"s had 1 disc at first,and is a very lucky find....i wont be cheeky and ask how much!!!

Be a 'pleasant' surprise if it's discovered to be a Bitsa bike.
Sure has the earmarks of one.
