    Its beautiful to see a little 125 restored.

    We have the later 2010 144 and 165 and they are such an under rated motor. Not sure what they were like back in the day though.

    Fred HVA - Could you give us a write up of the handling and power and suspension set up ?? What was Auroux like ???

    thanks

    the 125 hva is very nice to ride.
    light and easy
    power only in the high.
    last month i put a vforce and a 32 keihin better answer on the net gas.
    the ohlins gp are very good and the tiny fork is not very rigid
    i love riding this bike
    auroux is the most beautiful vintage race of france.

    Yes, everyone should go and ride Auroux!
    We enjoy a whole week there as the campsite in the village is nice with a river to cool down the beers in.
    The race is not too hard - with spectacular views. Be sure to STOP and look though, as I have fallen off before trying to ride and look around!!!
    Come and join the fun.

    See you in August!

    Andy.

    Hi guys,

    Well I am just gonna do it.................... only in my dreams !!!

    I reckon the closest I will get is our own VERI events this year, I am afraid. We do have some lovely views over the Ballarat highlands on our Beaufort ride. Coming up next weekend.

    Thanks for the update guys.

    Very nice looking bike-I'm doing a 1979 WR250 ISDT . I have a question about the electrical wiring?? I am doing over the original harness and need o know what the white wire goes to ?? I am guessing the rectifier. Thanks Café Husky

    i can't reply about the original harness, because it is a new one with a new power dynamo ignition.
