Full History of the 2 Stroke Yamaha DT125 models (125MX, DT125LC, DTR, DTX, DTRE)

[@callum.cheap21]

So glad someone's made a video going over the history of the dt I love these bikes and a proud owner of one

[@RHauto]

Surprised there wasn't one made already since its such an iconic bike 😁

[@windelmaribao]

the undestructible dt125 ❤

[@kidstreek]

I have a 2005 dt 125 good condition best bike ever I have 4 years with it can’t complain not one bite

[@reckless3008]

Just got my 75 dt250 running!!

[@proelitjump1355]

Finally my motorcycle is on a thumnail!

[@IamBATMAN2024]

I had a 2002 Dtr for 6 yrs.. I miss it so much! I dream I still have it.,,

[@boggs2005]

Two strokes are not dead. They are still build by European motorcycle companies such as Husqvarna, GasGas and KTM as recreational bikes.

[@RHauto]

Euro 4 killed 2t road bikes*

[@no.nomoreidontcare]

@@RHauto you can still register these new 2 stroke gas gas, ktm and husqvarna bikes and use on public roads

[@timoonwheels]

​@@no.nomoreidontcareyes but Not with the Open HP so you can never Drive them fully legal

[@thekarmafarmer608]

I`ve still never found the model I bought second hand in `85. It was already perhaps 3 years old. The most identifying feature was that it had a spring adjuster under the saddle which could wind-up or down to rear suspension, and thus the seat height. It was bought from Harry Bastable`s in Shell Corner. It had YPVS. The only picture I had of her was thrown away by my ex. Any ideas?

[@philipvasquez8581]

This video is great. I've got a 2007 model still going strong and daily runner. I designed custom stickers and got them printed in Germany. I lost the psd version of my designs and the printer is nowhere to be found these days. If I ever find that guy I would print the same stickers again if I could for my rebuild. The video isn't correct. The last model was a 125 RE 2007/9 model. It is the one I have. It is high action and the DT 125 RE which is the one I own. I think these are rare and may have been in Europe markets only. If I get enough likes here I'll do short videos on the restoration I am planning. I want to do it as the bike is so well built.

[@charlesbarnett2724]

Great. Thanks for that 👍

[@ryanp1874]

i have a wr200/dt i am fixing up. i plan on importing a dt125/175 in the future. yamaha two strokes move the soul

[@pascal2255]

love my dtmx 125

[@idselseno2306]

I'm holding on to mine until it no longer runs. It's great bike that revs differently than the sea of 4 strokes we have today.

[@eamh2002]

Im rebuilding after mine doesnt run anymore :D Ive had my 1991 dt125r for 20years. My first and only motorcycle 😎 Got it when 16, now I'm 36. Just bought a new rear tyre for it and looking to change the crankshaft to a fresher one soon. Ive ridden many different bikes, Hayabusa, R1, 2x zx10-r ninjas, sv1000s, bt1100 bulldog, intruder 800, kawasaki er5, xt660x, husqvarna sms125, kx250(not actually a street bike lol). Gotta hand the most comfortable to ride for long distance for the ER-5. Bulldog is so wide my legs always catch the draft and open wide(have to squeeze constantly) and the sportbikes are tiring until you go 120km/h for the wind to lighten you up. The custom intruder is very nice to ride but well its a custom so you dont want to visit offroad :) Just have to put it bluntly, the DT only needs a bigger engine to have headroom for torque and more acceleration but its so perfect to ride and maintain.

[@janjandax8927]

I really love two strokes. 2 stroke motorcycles were out in the Philippine market in the early 20's. I have a TS 125er and i'm still using it today in trails. But i think DT 125/175 is more reliable than TS.

[@RHauto]

The TS is a good bike, enjoy it :D

[@mateden912]

I just bought a 1984 dt175, it's had a hard life but is still going so strong, absolutely love it.

[@Chevdriver]

Great now i know what "MX" means, i own a french (MBK) build 1989 DT 50 MX, just finished rebuilding it, even the 50cc ist quite fun to ride

[@jorgefernandes5924]

Eu tive uma DT 125 yamaha espetacular que bela mota.

[@theoriginalbluey]

I have a never-used white and red DT125 from around 1987!

[@AdamG-w3p]

Hello…Is your dt125 for sale ?

[@kingkong81icloud]

I had 4 DT125R in the late 90s , I made one fast af I skimmed top end because I blew it up just after I bought it , new piston an rings an chain an sprockets , I wish I never sold that one , plus rest an I had a KMX 200 an a Honda MTX 125 then a YZ 250 that was just 2 fast, one of the DTRS was a G reg with lights and plate still on for £500 but it had a different smaller Down pipe to others an it was slow for some reason

[@Gintoki881]

There was also DT80. Thanks for the video 😀

[@RHauto]

Thanks for watching! Don't forget DT50, 100, 200, 250, 350 and 400.. but the video would be too long 🤣

[@markwatkins2081]

​@@RHautonever heard of a DT350.

[@dwaynemcallister7231]

I had a DT80 when I was 13 in 1975, good memories!

[@vyzai9662]

i am 14 got my first dt 80 when i was 13 from 94' and now i got second one from 92@@dwaynemcallister7231

[@danibot3000]

The DT50X got an updated frame design, no more pipe frame (starting from 2004 i believe)!

[@alwaysinsideout]

Going to the 4stroke was like getting of your 125 pocket rocket onto a 50cc.

[@sh.osmanov6792]

I have a 2002 sachs zx 125 enduro (made in Germany) with yamaha dt engine but with 28 mm dellorto carb. I just need a 30 slide for the carb to make it 24hp but can't find one here in Eastern EU 😢

[@RHauto]

That sounds cool. Hopefully you can find one!

[@FlipstaGIB]

What happened to the 2007 RE? Not covered

[@elliotdownie7431]

Is the 1992 DTR 125 a premix from factory? Thanks

[@RHauto]

@elliotdownie7431 They all came with oil tank and oil injector from factory after 1988 for the DTR 125 👍

[@N00BI]

I have a dt 125 r great bike

[@kp17841]

How much are they worth now I have one I'm thinking 3000+ at this point

[@achupudasaini860]

please make a video of dt175 also please including the models available in colombia

[@utsaar]

Always wanted a 125 DT....Is the TS 125ER still good?

[@RHauto]

TS is not as good as the DT says owners, also less parts available than the DTs but still a fun bike besides that!

[@hungrychicken31]

Missed the tenere version

[@izmileon2263]

I need Yamaha dt175/2023 im still waiting in Philippines

[@mrbikerfun4473]

you missed out the dt 125 tenere

[@jonshaw9472]

Great vid...rewind November 1982 as an (almost) 17 year old i paid £799 for a brand new one, kept it 2 years then bought a car. Fast forward 20 years ...in 2002 at 36 years old i bought another brand new one for £2500, passed my test on it and kept it 4 years. On both bikes i simply took restrictors out of the exhaust for much better performance. Now in 2024 at age 58 I'm about to buy a Honda CRF 300L. You're never too old.

[@balinsworld9459]

what about the 1980 dt175G

[@nisseht]

What's the hp numbers for later models? 1984 has 22 hp

[@RHauto]

The DTRs 1990 onwards were around 14hp with the restriction in exhaust

[@nisseht]

And without restrictions?@@RHauto

[@RHauto]

@@nisseht I've read people say it's about 20hp with the ypvs pinned fully open

[@domingodvs22]

Bring back 2stroke

[@umamahqamar1968]

Where can i find this motorcycle from India i am.

[@vanneseespanola8192]

Wtffffff you can buy parts of this ancient bike to this day watching from Philippines ppl here is strugling to get dt parts

[@ramonrozsa7760]

But Does the DT125X has a powerband?

[@RHauto]

DT125X has a powervalve yes. It is very similar to the engine used in 1988 to 2003 DT125R

[@ramonrozsa7760]

@@RHauto Thank you

[@primalcarnage2480]

re built loads of wrs and my dtr is still the fastest by far and most reliable and cheapest to run, plastic for wr x and r is silly and they weigh a tone

[@alexandershatov2953]

Idk, where you searched the information, but eaven i got yamaha DT 125 RE, that is 2006 year model, so said, dtx is not the last ine

[@nathanharrison8997]

2 strokes won’t die the real men will keep them going hahaha I didn’t like the dt till I got one an everyone I see says keep it an don’t sell it

[@heathwak3030]

you can still buy these bikes from african yamaha dealers, you could probably import one.

[@RHauto]

I'd love to buy one and ride it home, it would be an awesome adventure on such a bike 😁

[@hubertkam7647]
