Kawasaki never really cashed in on the 125 market of the 80s, and put even less effort into 125s going into the 90s. The AR125 is actually a really solid little bike. It was also pretty nippy and defied its 12 horses that pushed it along.
The engine used a rotary disc valve, instead of reeds. This gave it a healthy spread of poke throughout its rev range and a distinctive induction whir. Beyond the water cooled two stroke engine things were much more traditional. Nothing else really grabbed your attention, unlike the competition, that all had large capacity machines carrying the models moniker. The AR was pretty much a lone wolf in the range, other than its smaller siblings.
This bike was owned by Peter Steiger in Zurich before being imported into the UK. It has a new battery, new tyres, running order and in very good condition.
