  • Anyone on here into RD LC's?

    Off topic I know but I've been offered a mint condition Mk1 RD125LC, 1984 with 7k miles. Its the bike I always wanted butnever got

    Any experts on here know what its worth?

    Thanks in advance

    When I started my apprenticeship after leaving school all the lads wanted either an RD125 or a DT125, fortunately we were on decent money and most managed to get one, there were rows of them in the bike sheds and at clocking off time it was like the start of a GP. I opted for a KE125 cos I was stupid.

          My mate had a KE175, great bike, nice and simple being air cooled not bad off road even tho it was a twin shock.

            I don't know about on here Wayne but Guy (Gmac) on Turbosport is big into them and could give you a good idea of what to pay

                He's more clued up on the 250's (has done a cracking restoration job on his) but reckons in the region of £800 - HTH

                              Had one here as well, was bloooody quick for a 125, about 110mph i think only thing it used to burn a hole in the piston, so i use to stip it and go up to a local engineering co and weld up the crown put it back together and hey presto a piston that would last longer get it bought at any price m8 a part of history , if the wife would allow any more toys i'd have one
