I bought my TZR 125 primarily because I lived on a busy main road and lived a number of miles away from work.... I was enthused by this little motorcycles acceleration from my gateway onto the main road allowing me to get up to the speed of the traffic very quickly and safely.. I kept this little motorcycle until 1993 when it was stolen and had just about clocked it on milage without having to do very much serious maintainance... It was the best motorcycle I have ever had in terms of reliability (because I rejected the advice of so-called mates and left the power valve closed) the engine ran as sweet as a nut all the time I had it...
I have very fond memories of numerous rallies nationwide that my little TZR took not only me but, on occasions, my mates and camping equipment too without even a murmer of complaint... If I was to have to choose another 125cc motorcycle it would be another TZR....

You're dead write mate, they are top bikes. Not too sure about what you said about the powervalve closed though. On my TZR its controlled by a small motor that opens the valve at about 6000 rpm. This smooths out the power delivery. They are designed to run at full power, it wouldn't have caused the bike any damage to open it up.
