Close Jack - Villiers... lighter but not reliable.
Also a SWM
Basically a rare 250 Sachs or Hercules, never worth a darn to heavy by the time it hit
Check out the Moto Villa on E-Bay. Big D Cycle has it here in Dallas. Anyone know the history??? Looks like someone was going racing with the extra parts, trick pipe, etc. Probably a ex-works bike. LOL.
Maybe I should add this to my vast collection…

- No Matt, i have no interest in Selling My Kx125. Lots of dough may talk, but i doubt anyone would pay it. I like the bike way to much.Start around 3k and i may do it.Have a good day.

- Matt,my 76 RM 250 turned out to be a 77,but found out several things about the 76,first put the forks on a shelf,they had a problem about coming apart,they were recalled back then,Tony Boswell at Vintage Suzuki confirmed this,advised me to find early 78 forks,still 36mm,they bolt right on,plus the upper clamp has rubber mounted bar clamps and about 10" travel(i`ve done this to my 77)if your silencer is shot,DG`s universal fit 1 1/8 is a bolt on,sounds great,there`s aguy,Barry Baker in Ohio,comes up with NOS Wiesco pistons for vintage bikes,usually half of what you pay elsewhere.The 82 YZ 125,Yamaha guys say they bypass the steering neck with hoses,i`ve got an 83,i`ll see you at the party sunday,i`m from Longview.

Ken Walden said… - Matt, I have a frame, swingarm, triples, forks, and monoshock for the 82 125. 5X4 on the steering head. I race the 80 "G" model. You have a GPIII bike there, as it is water-cooled. I have no use for these parts so I'll make you a good deal if you can use any of it. There is rust on the bare parts of the frame, but the steering seems free. Your 76 RM will be a very competitive GP I bike.

look closely, it's a twin shocker.
Hodakas are just weird. this is no exception. notice the rear shocks, dead vertical, just like the "Stupor" Rat.
I SAW LARS WIN THE SUPPORT CLASS AT CONROE MX IN HOUSTON THE SUMMER OF '71 ON THAT BIKE(WE HAD NO IDEA HOW TRICK THAT BIKE WAS) PHIL SNIPES GOT SECOND THAT DAY, MARK MOORE ALSO PLACED IN THE TOP 10, THAT IS THE RACE I MEET DAVE BICKERS, WHAT A NICE…
A FRIEND OF MINE IN H.S. HIS DAD HAD ONE OF THESE THINGS, IT WAS COOL LOOKING BUT WAS REAL SLOW..... ITS A TRIALS BIKE. BUT THAT THING WOULD CLIMB A TREE. WE USED TO RIDE WITH HIM ON THE TRINITY RIVER TRAILS BEHIND BURTON HILL. WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW W…
That's a neat artical about Phil and Lars!
It is a 76 - the 77s were blue
But they were very small to save weight.
1976 Model
http://www.vintagehusky.com/restorations.htm
Lars said his were made of steel, anyway.
This could be a '76, even a '77 model, I think.
Haslet Joe has a '77 on the stand right now, and it looks just like it. His has leading axle forks, but his manual says it came with straight legs.
New fenders installed by yours truly, and yes, they a…
It must be fast because the front motor mount was engineered for the extreme Greeves power. I believe MKA went to school was Charlie Greeves and will have something German to say on the subject. Martin "poking the bear" Brazil
anyone who ever went fast on a Greeves has my admiration!
1975 model?
Mark Pledger went plenty fast on one of these, for a while. David Greenhill also did his share of damage to Jap bikes riding a machine like this.
still needs a "Goodie Guard"
I said old Huskys Ken, not new, that bike of yours is trick
Bikes are fine,my underwear,totalled!
check this out! Lars Larsson on that very titanium Husky wins the Conroe Inter-AMA race 500cc Support class July 11, 1971. top pic to the right is Larsson. photo just below is Phil Snipes on a CZ. overall results for 500cc class that day. Larsson 1s…
