I cant do this site with out your help, and it is very much appreciated CHEERS.In the summer of 1982 the RD 125LC was unleashed on the UK learner market.

With a cantilever mono-shock swining arm italic style wheels It addopted from its big brother the 250lc and a single cylinder water coold engine it realy did look the biz.

'''MK3 125LC'''. Yamahas next model the RDZ125 MK3 was unvaled in 1987. This model was under a lot of compertishon from the aformentioned bikes and was basacaly just a stop gap while the TZR125 was being finished of. The emphasis was on the motor with no real changes to the bike its self. It was fitted with a YPVS engine simuler to the one being used on yams DTR125. It had a very nice looking exhourst resembeling the F2 350 YPVS pipe and the pipe fited to the still to come TZR125. The powervalve was blanked of for the UK lerner market, but you could get a powervalve kit to get it runing, if you did boy did they fly. I sell loads of theys kits for MK3 125's and TZR's you get all the bottom end with all the top end to as the valve opens up and you get the full BHP to the back wheel. In Europ this model was known as the Mk2 LC2 not the Mk3 There bikes had a working YPVS | '''MK3 125LC'''. Yamahas next model the RDZ125 MK3 was unvaled in 1987.
