TE125's owners roll call

I'm guessing these are one of the rarer bergs out there, only six came into Australia in 2013 and I think it was the same in 2014. I only know the general whereabouts of one other bike in the country, and have only ever seen two in the flesh (Mine, and one in the KTM factory merchandise shop over in Mattighofen.)

Who else has one?! what have you done to it/with it? I intend to ride the wheels off mine for a few years, hopefully along the way collecting all the impossible-to-get blingy hardparts (resevoir covers etc) and one day build it up as if it were a factory works bike. I'll park it up to be only ridden on christmas or birthdays or something like that and get another bike thats a little less 'special' for general trail duties.

I have no idea! I love mine. There ins't a huge aussie market for 125 enduro bikes in general I think, the bigger 4 strokes are much more popular here. I guess the average weekend warrior thinks more horsepower is better.

It was my lounge/living room, at a previous house we rented. No shed meant...

Yup. The toolbox and the bike both got to live inside. I actually had that bike stolen, and then it was recovered. Once I got it back, my wife came home one day to find that both the tools and the bike were moved in beside the rest of the furniture. She was so shocked that I never actually got told I wasn't allowed to have the bike inside, but then she agreed it was the safest place for it all.

Sadly I have a different place now, with storage. Plus, I don't have the talent to ride a 125 up 4 flights of stairs!
