rocker1 0 Posted November 18, 2010 Again nice bike this is my version a 1976 TL125 I have owned it for about 14 yrs now and not done a thing exept normal maintenance. I got a Sammy Miller 150cc kit about 10 yrs ago with the intention of fitting it when the engine needed any work. ps like the blue, never much of an orange man, not even on a Laverda.

streetmoto 0 Posted November 19, 2010 I remember them,had an orange one as a second bike so I did'nt ruin my Z1000.A friend also had a SL125 in silver,he managed to fall of it about 15 times and that was just coming in to the (same) car park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
