Re: making one bike from two
Some bikes from year 2001 has this colour, and i'm very proud to be an owner of 2001 GZ125 (it's original of course).
EDIT: Just got back from garage - here's first photo: |

Welcome to the forum. Have to ask, did the 125 give up ? Both bikes look intact and rideable in the pics.

Re: making one bike from two
No, 125 went great - it just turned out to slow bike for me. I need something more powerful. Because of small amount of money i decided to buy a bike from insurance company (history of the bike unknown - propably not worth repairing after crash).
When i bought gz125 2 years ago almost every element needs restoration or replacement. So about year ago i did general restoration of this bike. If i would buy entire gz250 and sell gz125 i'd propably have to do restoration again - or pay too much money for gz250 in very good condition. So i decided to keep many good parts from 125 and just change the engine. Anyway, it turned out that I bought entire bike in a price of engine with carboratour and exhaust. Engine has only 14000 km, it hasn't been opened. Whole gz250 bike wasn't perfectly straight, but able to ride. There was only 1 problem - frame hasn't rights to registrate. That's the story. I hope that it's possible to understand (not very good english) :) |

Re: making one bike from two
As you see in picture with black one - aluminium side covers (maybe wrong name i use) are quite damaged. In places where painting got smashed there's serious aluminium corrosion. Today i'll show more photos of engine and tell solution i usually use to get it right.
