Vintage Kaw 125

Hey, anyone got info on identification (numbers) of sportsman class KX125s? Opinions on performance. I already know parts are tough to find.
Thanks, Roger

I managed to find a Dirt Rider test of the '75 KX125. Sounded it was a very good bike save for the suspension. I went ahead and added a 74 KX125 to my collection, plenty of work left on it, but at least it is a runner albeit unpleasantly loud!

zoommx, how loud is the bike incomparison to a IT/YZ465 or 490?

Its every bit as loud as my 490 that has a DG exhaust system, its pretty loud too. My IT125 is pretty quiet, and the YZ100 isn't bad at all either.

zoommx, thats one loud 125. My 465 is super loud and makes 450Fs sound quiet.
