A new concept in trials, both rocks and overhead wires
that you have to get through.

You can't see it very well in this scan but the bike has
real knobbies. Any idea what it is?
Go fast. Take chances.

I've seen Yamahas (DT200 and XT225) with a rear fender like this. The
tail light is missing on the bike on this picture. It is not a DT200
neither a XT225, side number plates and the plastic over radiator are
different. XT225 doesn't even has that plastic on the tank.
It might be a Yamaha or a asian clone. Or not... :-)

Most likely a DT125... I googled pictures of it, but could not find one
with this rear fender, but they are Yamaha rear fenders. The tank
plastic of the DT125 looks like the one on the picture.
Sad for people who lived there, it is a real mess. Hope that stupid
war, no, better yet, hope all wars, end as soon as possible. Well...
dreaming is still free........

Maybe but I think the air scoops are wrong.

We are in 100% agreement there.
