'73 Husky 125

Hi there. I am looking at buying a 1973 Husqvarna 125 mx 'Schoolboy' Anyone own one of these?
I can't find reference to 'schoolboy', was this the actual name of this bike? Anyone have a manual or parts catalog?
Thanks.

I have two 125s, but they are shed bikes , i don't race them. I have manuals and parts books, they come up on ebay from time to time. Pistons are getting rarer. I think they are better than schoolboy bike. There's a few good posts on this site about 125s.

Schoolboy was a slang term for a budget racer... the kind a schoolboy could afford and have some fun with on the weekend. 125's were cheaper to buy, so it was synonymous with the 125 class. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it meant around me when I was, well, a schoolboy! Grew up near Carlsbad Raceway. Gee, I sure hope there are still some guys and gals around who remember the significance of Carlsbad.

I've had my eye out for the right 125 or 175 for some time now. Has to be the right price at the right distance... Hasn't happened yet.

Thanks Picklito & Dave-CR125. Yeah, I've got one lined up to buy locally, tank a little dinged etc but a 'rider' for my son.

I have the 68-74 shop manual (covers all models). You can download it here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Akhbhd3iqlMpgV173G0oBIOz9j5P
And the 1973 125 parts manual is here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Akhbhd3iqlMpgX7KJCT1B9VzQqPZ

When I was, well, a school boy, a friend of mine had a early 70s 125 (maybe '72? yellow tank) and his brother had a 125 Pursang. The Husky was beautiful but slow, and wasn't easy to turn, and the Bultaco was just beautiful and loved going in a straight line. My TM-125 was better then either, but that Husky was just so cool. I'd get one in a heart beat if one came around (the Bul with the right side shifter, primary drive chain, and f'glass tank--not for me).

Thanks very much, appreciate the info, etc
