Thanks for your support

Hey up Pro J, this was the same as mine at 17, do you still ride ? Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 not anymore but i got deep attachment with it. I was just trying to listen to it's engine sound and came across your video.

Glad you enjoyed it , stay safe, Simon B 👍

Hi Gareth, I had the ER to pass my test on then upgraded the same day to a 350LC back in 87 👍

Hey up In96, thanks for dropping a comment and watching the vid, much appreciated, stay safe, Simon B 👍

Hey up Morgan, I had a blue one when I was 17 , I just had to have another, they bring back so many memories, life's too short, get one bought 😲, ride safe, Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 ❤❤

Brings back memories John

See you spotted the mistake, that's a 125 not a 50 as it's the wrong colour to be a 125, the guy who rebuilt it liked the yellow, I had a blue one when I was 17 😁

Hi Ade , that's what mine are for, the pension plan, thanks for the positive comment 👍

Hey up smiles per gallon, I also did my piston on my ER, took it apart an fixed it in the kitchen at my mam's as it was winter and cold outside 😲, got another for the collection, will be revealed soon 😎, ride safe, Simon B 👍

Glad you liked it

Hi Peter, it does sound well, thanks for the positive comment, hope you get your bikes built, stay safe.

Hola Wilmar Sánchez, es un buen sonido y bici, gracias por dejar un comentario, ¿montas en moto?

Hey up Steven, I know what you mean 😍, have you seen my RD350LC video or the TS125X one ? If your into your 2strokes 😁👍

Hi Callum, my original was used as a farm bike, it was then registered on a Q plate then used it on the road when turned 17, now your interest in motorbikes you'll never have any money 😯👍, keep safe 👍

SIMON B yeah, mine has a full floater and was a Zimbabwe farm bike, so it’s been beat around the bush a bit, I have no intention to get it road legal, I’m more of an enduro rider, and the roads around here are dangerous, however you were right about the whole money thing, now I’m saving up for a KTM 300 2 stroke😂

Thanks for the comment ausvintagemoto, the answer is it's the wrong colour for a 125, should be red or blue 👍, keep safe

@@SIMONB1 I believe the 125 did come in yellow too, my dad has a basket case 79 125er in the shed I hope he gets around to doing up someday

Hey up Karri, depending how old you are , have seen this beauty ? 👇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5iGaZN21d3bYXk.html

@@SIMONB1Yeah that's a Ts 125 x. Im 16 and i have a 1982 Ts 125cc erz and it is so good bike that im not going to sell it anytime, and i will keep it to grave.

Hey up Tony, my original was a blue one, it was in a Q plate as it had been used as a field bike, the problem with this one, is it's yellow, they only made the 125cc in red and blue, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe, Simon B 👍

Hi Alan, I didn't rebuild this bike someone else did, for parts good old eBay is one of the best, just don't pay the covid tax that everyone had seemed to place on all things , stay safe 👍

Yes, Simon, David did a great job

Hi John, I don't know it but the guy who put the ER together may know, I'll ask 👍

Just bought one myself and was wondering the same! Great video mate! Just earned one more subscriber here

Hey up David, not heard of that one, thanks for sharing, yes most of us probably wish we didn't sell all of those bikes we had 😁, what u riding nowadays ?

Hey up Nuno Gens, they are IRC trials gp-1, 2.75-21 on the front and 4.10-18 on the back, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 thank you Simon. 💪

Many thanks Sir, hope you subscribed, stay safe 👍

Stephan, brings back memories, I had one when I was 17 😀, thanks for the comment 👍

It is John, well spotted, thanks for dropping a comment, much appreciated, Simon B 👍

Hey up Dave, it's the colour, the yellow was the 50cc, in the 125 they only did red and blue in that year, my original one was a blue one, the one I had at 16 😲, thanks for dropping a comment, stay safe, Simon B 👍

Are you going to say what it is Simon. I need to watch your vids on the spitfire. My wife wants one. And I’m a bit sceptical cheers

@@SIMONB1 just read your reply I didn’t know that. I have a 1977 Kawasaki ke250 / ke175 the 1977 Yamaha DT250mx / 1975 DT400B. And a couple of 1975 Honda Elsinore MT 250’s And 1976 Kawasaki’s kx125/250/400 and a lot of newer bikes I think if you press on my picture you see a couple cheers and thanks Simon.

@@davemonday5381 I though I had a few bikes, you have quite a menagerie of them, when you buying the missis a Spitfire ?

@@SIMONB1 not sure it’s right for her. She as a new Ducati monster 696. and a Honda mt250 a. Kawasaki kx125. She’s already had a xr650r supermoto. And a Derby super moto. Ho and she’s got Yamaha. SR500 bobber too that we got from Brat in Japan. She isn’t short of bikes But we keep looking for that perfect fit. And to be honest I love the concept of the spitfire. Super lightweight bike with killer looks. With supermoto/ flat track handling. With that old style single thumping motor And the electric starter. Yeah the spitfire ticks a lot of boxes.

Hey up Evan, thanks, it is rather nice, this bike I haven't really rode it since buying it, top speed would be lucky to get 60, with the wind behind you 🤭 what do you ride ?

@@SIMONB1 Hi Simon, I’m in the South Island of New-Zealand, and I have 3 bikes. Suzuki DR-200,86 motor in a 2010 bike, an 82 PE-175z, and a modified Suzuki TS-125er. My TS-125er has Honda XL-250r front air shocks, rear air shocks, XL-250r fuel tank, and a set of Boyesen fibre reeds. Also has an after market performance muffler. Goes like a cut cat mate! I’m running a 15 T front sprocket and 45 T rear. Be interested in knowing what sprocket s you run on front and rear? My gearbox is actually from a Suzuki TF-125 farm bike which has a lower ratio first gear. Cheers, Simon, keep cool mate!

Hey up Claire, if your filling in the V355/5 form, just leave it blank as motorcycles don't have this info and not tested as yet 😲, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍

Hey up Doumeki, that would depend on how old it was and how far you are going to travel on a daily basis, this one here is now more of a classic and a antique, but there is no reason why you can't, ride safe, Simon B 👍

Thanks man

Hey up Clive, that's a question I couldn't answer, you'd be better off asking on a Yamaha forum, ride safe, Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 im trying to find a big bore kit for my Suzuki RG 80 Gamma which is apparently so rare its only half visible lol

Sorry Clive, you could try crooks Suzuki in barrow in Furness, they are a new old part specialist on Suzuki's, but then again the 80 engine wa borrowed from the ts80 apparently 🤔, hope you find one , Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 whats a ts80? Never seen or heard of one of those either

Clive Google is your best friend, looks like the ts80 is the X version,only sold in certain countries as your gamma

Hey up, does he still have one ?

Hey up Deepak, where are you ?

I believe so 😀

Hi John, the bike has six gears, stay safe

Hi Alan, the 125 wasn't released in yellow, I also had a blue one 😁, I'll have to move that shield, thanks for your comment, hope you have subscribed, stay safe 👍

It was released in jelow in belgium.

What do you mean ?

Hey up Jas , it's the wrong colour, in that year of 125cc it was either red or blue, yellow was the 50cc one, thanks for dropping a comment, stay safe, Simon B 👍

@@SIMONB1 I'm sure my mates 50cc was white, I had a red 250cc, it's a long time ago but didn't they do a blue 185cc as well, I always liked the yellow

The yellow was nice, I believe they did a white, my bike when I was 17 was the blue one 😍

I think it's a 6 speed, do you have one ?

Hola Luis, ¿el tuyo es más fuerte? ¿Puede tener un escape diferente?

Bit far for you to pick it up 😲, what you offering ?
