Nice. I've been looking for a road legal 2 smoke project for a long while now, something older but cool. Everything is too pricey at the moment.

21 years old? You'd never know! Very nice - apart from being 2-stroke, of course ;)

cant beat a old ring ding special, looking forward to doing my RXS 125 project (well 100cc now will be 123cc by time im done :D) and i know once im done it will hold its value as 2 strokes are going astronomical in the price stakes... harder to get as well, people are holding onto them or asking silly money. was called up and offered a DT125 the other day, didn't take it as i aint keen on crossers, and it was a field bike, so would have cost a mint to get legal again... if it wasn't nicked.

Have to say that one looks well sorted and looked after, nice find.
