That's a cracking looking bike B) , put me on the 'want' list too :laugh: Reminds me a little of the Aprilia Tuareg Wind 600 I had but yours is minty
I've been offered a full power TDR 125 of a similar era but the MZ will have to go to pay for it

Re: 2 stroke Gilera XR1 Adventure bike
Got the bike today, its very clean and not a small as i would of expected for a 125, took some photos to compare against the KTM 640 adv to show how big it is.
It has electric start and i was given a new battery with it so fitted it, it started first fire up on electric start and also first kick start (thumbs)
The indicators and cockpit lights do not work so i assume its a blown fuse or maybe a wire i need to reconnect.
Its very well made, maybe to well made for a 125cc 2 stroke which is 29 years old

Re: 2 stroke Gilera XR1 Adventure bike
This bike has literally sat in my garage since I brought it as to busy with life.
I locked it with the only key I have which locks the steering lock and have misplaced the key.
I turn it over via kickstart when I go in the garage just to be safe but obviously can't start it as lost the key
Looking to clear out the garage as need space so needs to go.
Cost 1k so looking for offers around that

Re: 2 stroke Gilera XR1 Adventure bike
I'm near Norwich, I am having a massive clean up over Xmas as got time off work so I am hoping I find the key. I brought it from a guy who lived in France. Its French registered and I never got round to registering it.
