Information about a Yamaha IT 125.

Question

I was just given a dirtbike about a month ago and I don't know anything about it. I finally looked it up on the internet and all i saw that looked similar to my bike was an IT 460 so i put IT 125 in a search engine and bingo there it was. Anyways I do not have anyway of knowing how fast it goes. I know it has six gears but my little dirt road i live on is barely long enough to make it to fith gear and full speed is impossible. so if someone could tell me how fast a Yamaha IT 125 goes it would be appreciated and a source would be great. they are made between 1976 and 86 i believe.

Answer 1

I know Yamaha made a IT 175, but did not know they made a 125.  

Answer 2

To my knowledge the IT never came in a 125. Also ITs were light blue, had a plastic fuel tank and did not come with turn signals or a speedometer (it had a resetable odometer for enduro competition).  I imagine most dirt bikes from the 70s are either in a museum, raced in AHRMA or are huge worn out piles of p**p that are just a money pit. Be careful!

Answer 3

Don't you mean DT 125 ?

Answer 4

The 1998 DT 125 goes about 75-80 mph.
