Kawasaki never really cashed in on the 125 market of the 80s, and put even less effort into 125s going into the 90s. The AR125 is actually a really solid little bike. It was also pretty nippy and defied its 12 horses that pushed it along.
The engine used a rotary disc valve, instead of reeds. This gave it a healthy spread of poke throughout its rev range and a distinctive induction whir. Beyond the water cooled two stroke engine things were much more traditional. Nothing else really grabbed your attention, unlike the competition, that all had large capacity machines carrying the models moniker. The AR was pretty much a lone wolf in the range, other than its smaller siblings.
OVW was first registered in Switzerland and owned by Stefan Senn in 1998, by 2015 it was imported into the UK by Ian Boothand registered with DVLA, with a odometer reading of 11,909 km, today it is 11,996 km. In 2018 it was bought by Simon Mattison.
