c. 1986 Kawasaki AR 125, 125 cc. Registration number D149 KEE (not registered with DVLA). Frame number TBC. Engine number TBC.
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.
This machine is from long term ownership, the vendor, when a young man, fitted Campagnour ally wheels and a Gianeli power exhaust. Unused for many years it will require restoration.
There is no paperwork with this machine, although the vendor is applying to DVLA for a registration document.
