What motorcycle(s) do you ride

[Snowman78]

You're not though... Too much fun to not ride...


Brought a new project home...

04 RM125, it's all there, and needs rebuilt, but... As per usual with me, it's not going to be normal...

Is it brushless? How many watts are you going to run?

Yes. Its a 3 phase brushless permanent magnet motor.

It's going to be approximately 10KW. Completely stupid, but it should be fun.

I have to sets of the controller, motor, and batteries, and I will be buying/building a shifter kart frame for the other set.

Picked this up for nostalgia and ween the older minions off mini's.

Spent alot of time growing on MX's and Kawi KE's in the 70's.

DANG that thing is clean !

Do you know its history ?

Great find !

Other than purchasing from life long Yamaha guy, history not known. He got it from an estate sale to flip.

Paint on tank is original, both fenders have been repaired and repainted. Yamaha guy rebuilt top end and overall condition is better than some I rode 40 years ago. Has quickly become my favorite in our collection.

That will be awesome! What type of batteries are you going to run and at what voltage?
