Message: [QUOTE="Imho, post: 351188, member: 28822"] G'day All, I am looking at buying a second-hand 1999 RM125. From what I can see it has not been looked after particularly well. It has just had a bottom end rebuild (big end and mains, with receipts). Most of the other things are cosmetic (torn seat, graphics, scratches). I would rebuild the top end, replace the chain/sprockets, wheel bearings and linkage bearings regardless. The price is roughly US$1800. I suspect this will probably generate a number of '<insert you brand here> are better' replies but can anybody give me an objective assessment of the 1999 RM125? For example: Does it have any inherent problems? Are the other brands of the same era streets ahead in performance or handling? Is the durability on a par with other brands? Thanks in advance.
