    Thanks for the feedback from all.
    I will just use the bike in some of our local vinduros, I don't ride at a million miles a hour so hopefully will be all good for me.
    Love the 82 model Huskys so bit of a fan can live with its shortcomings..
    Time will tell... lol

    I rode a Paul Rooney tuned Wr 125 back in 82 and found the motor peaky [ compared with the 81 KTM ] but the handling was off the planet.
    Point and go.
    Actually more like think and turn.

    I love the '82s also, and I love my 125XC in spite of its many shortcomings, I just wanted you to get an honest opinion from someone who actually has one.

    Am starting to do some work on the bike.
