The RG250 revolutionized the sports 250 market in 1983 producing over 45bhp but weighing in at only 130kg. The Gamma was the first massproduced motorcycle to have a lightweight aluminum frame and it went on to dominate production racing over the next few years.

This RG250 Gamma has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is offered in original condition, a rare thing for a model that was made to be used to the limit, very often on the race track, including standard ‘1670’ stamped silencer boxes and is fitted with a single seat converter. Last run a couple of years ago, see our website video, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.

• Supplied with manuals, a few old MOTs and a current V5C Hondas MT50 was sold in the UK as a ‘Moped’ allowing 16 year old riders to start motorcycling on a bike with the same controls as bigger machines they aspired to.

This MT50 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, ranging from this Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike has survived in essentially standard trim, a rare thing for a sports moped, and I am sure will stir up happy memories of many riders first taste of motorcycling. Last run a couple of years ago it will require some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with an owner’s manual, a Haynes workshop manual, some old MOTs and current V5C. `

1980 Kawasaki KX125

Air-cooled single shock motocrosser

Estimate: £2,250 - £2,750*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: DGB91041153

MOT: Exempt

• KX125 two-stroke motocross bike

• Surprisingly original condition for age

• Run recently by the vendor

After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early 1960s, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy, but soon moving on to build a reputation for high-performance 2-stroke twins and triples. In the early 1970s Kawasaki joined the other major Japanese manufacturers in producing race-ready off-road models such as the KX125 for sale to the general public, going on to be a mainstay of amateur and semi-professional motocross.

This KX125 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. Presented in amazingly original condition for a bike that was made to be raced, I am sure this KX will stir up happy memories for many motorcyclists of a certain age.
