Photo makes it look more lush than it really is lol.
In reality it's a very well used DT still in its original frame paint that's been 'enduroified'
Mods include lengthened swinging arm,ported barrel,different carb and reed block,modified airbox and airfilter,Fresco expansion pipe & SM Stinger,wide footrests and DT125LC forks.
Engine just been rebuilt by me with new crank,bearings & seals and new piston & rings ( and a bit more porting).
Seems to be running well and pretty quick😜
I've enduroed it,greenlaned & commuted on it and it's been fun apart from when it's holed pistons or seized😉

That's my little lego bike Lexmoto 125 Valiant (2016). Haven't done big adventure on it but took me few times to seaside (weekend 150 - 200 miles round trips London - Brighton - Newhaven - Hastings) with wild camping. Now is my experimental ride I like to thinker with. Today installed cheap sexy Chinese digital speedo. And seems like readings are correct. ImageImageImageImage

Nice!
Although wouldn’t call that a Lego bike yet ;)

Hahaha. Love that
Used "LEGO" as an euphemism - used to love to play with lego now bike replaced it.
But in fact the bike is one of Mario Kart vehicles (as you see Toad on the tank - there is Bowser on the other side ;P) Image

Spent the afternoon adding some more bits onto the Innova.
I’ve taken off the lower plastic fairing under the engine and mounted a bash plate... well, why not? 😉
Also have worked out some ‘tank bags’ (though I guess if we’re being picky then I am the tank bag)
I can carry a half litre of oil, lunch, locks and visor cleaning gear all accessible and to hand.
Lovely day, just wish I was riding it 😜
