Never seen such a neat and precise restoration. It's like an unboxed unsold non current bike, mint new straight from the factory. I used to see them with yellow front lightbulb (probably because they were imported in France and then delivered (with a huge mark-up price) in very few quantity in Italy.
@bonniechops1 Hi Yes I am in the middle of another one now but its quite a rare 10V 17F model that came with gold wheels & yellow decals as standard & it's already sold 😁
@@brassbikesuk4826 AHH cool, will you post a vid when finished please. 😊 I absolutely love these bikes, I should never let mine go, brings back great memories when I viewed the blue on you finished 👌🏻🏴
Hi mate , woukd like to ask you if getting parts is easy for these or hard .i found two left in a hut .Been given them as i turn up on jy bike to me job ,One bonus .ones in no bad knick the other looks like it was spares or getting done up ,Had the dt 50 in black at 16 with my frst job ,i always mund my dad taking me up didnt jnow where we where going and stop outside alvins in edinbutgh ,bike bought , tidy ,,anyhelp cheers @brassbikesuk4826
I had a black one if these in 1982. I bought it with everything I had saved in my 17 years. I have had many bikes but I loved that one the most . It was FJK122Y. It meant freedom and was seriously quick when I had smacked out the exhaust restriction. My good friend Jonathan Wallis had a blue one just like . Fantastic bikes and fantastic times. After years of huge cruisers and ADV bikes I have just bought a Honda CRF300L - it is light and cheeky and makes me feel 17 again...
Beautiful restoration job .👍👌 I have been sourcing parts and restoring my 1978 DT125E for the past 6 years and still a long way from completion....hope that it turns out as good as yours has. 🙏👌👍
Hermosa como ella sola, restauración muy buena, Inmaculada, una gran makina clásica q no pasa de moda, quedo para exposición , , buen video, mí nombre es Xavier, saludos desde ARGENTINA,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
mate that is beautiful. I had a dt50mx for my first bike and loved it. always wanted the rd125lc but went for the rd125lc instead. ps love the dt blue colour 😎👍
Good question M8 ! I share your point....I bought a scrap 1978 DT125E. which had 50 percent of parts missing...6 years ago.....1485 hours spent on restoring and still way off complete . Missing parts I have bought from....drum roll ....Thailand ,Croatia,Indonesia,NewZealand, Netherlands,England,Australia,USA and Argentina and have had to make several others that were impossible to find. Hoping to complete it by the end of 2023. 🙏👍
hi, where do you buy parts like cilinder kit, headlight (complete with cap) ?? i have one but im worried for when my cilinder would get broke in the future AND it got a ugly new gen headlight on it

Hey Brass, how do you manage to get the parts for these brilliant bikes?
Hi, I only bought complete bikes to start with & then try to source as many original parts as possible over the years 😀
@@brassbikesuk4826 that's brilliant, I would love to roll the clock back to 1983 and ride my one again 😭
I had an A reg one. It had 6 volt electrics if i recall, you could barely see the indicators flashing. Great bike though ❤
mate that is beautiful. I had a dt50mx for my first bike and loved it. always wanted the rd125lc but went for the rd125lc instead. ps love the dt blue colour 😎👍
Bloody beautiful, how do you source the parts.
Thanks, Tough to get parts now so I try to buy them complete and restore everything 😁

That is a great restoration! I am restoring a dt125lc from 1982 and would need a new chain guard 10V-22151-00. Do you know where i could find one?
Thanks, Martin Quick on ebay might have 1 🤔

@@MatthiasVermeersch No sorry
Crackin' job mate! - I had a 1986 'C' reg one years ago. I used it a lot off-road & it was fantastic. Brings back great memories.

Hi They are a nightmare to do if they aren't complete when you start 👍
I have 2 more to finish then I am retired 😅
hi, where do you buy parts like cilinder kit, headlight (complete with cap) ?? i have one but im worried for when my cilinder would get broke in the future AND it got a ugly new gen headlight on it
Hi, I would only buy 1 to restore if it had all the original parts as I don't use aftermarket bits 😁
@@brassbikesuk4826 were original parts hard to find?
@@Thomasside299 You can't find them anywhere now

Nice in the blue..
nice bike here, also got a 10v from the same year, will probably butcher it with a bigger engine.
Dude blur the plate scammers are everywhere
Go ride it
Gaiters where did you get then mate like hens teeth
You can't buy the gaitors anywhere. I wouldn't buy the bike if the gaitors weren't good as you say they are like hens teeth 😬
