MZ TS 125 ALPINE (1980) Classic Recent Runner/Project - Current MOT til October 2015

This is a lovely vehicle that I've had a lot of fun riding over the last few months. The engine and brakes are excellent but I've recently had trouble with the gearbox and I think the bike needs either a new gear selector and/or gearbox bearings. You could get both for around £30 which I would do myself but, unfortunately, I have very limited time and mechanical knowledge, tools etc so I think it'd be better in someone else's hands. As a result of the gearbox trouble it's currently a non-runner but it was running as recently as May until I ran into the gear selection trouble. Someone with the right tools, more time and a better understanding of motorbike mechanics could have her up and running in no time at all. The frame is solid although there is some cosmetic rust in parts and a few scratches here and there (see photos). The brakes and electrics work well although one of the rear indicator lenses is missing but these can be bought cheaply from the internet as most MZ parts can as they're still readily available. 

I've spent around £100 on a few bits and pieces over the time I've had the bike including:

FUEL TAP 
POINTS/CONDENSER
CARB NEEDLE
FLOATS
HORN
CLUTCH CABLE
CHOKE RUBBER
LUGGAGE RACK


I'm also including a few spares as well as the MZ motorcycle handbook from the Zschopau factory and the Haynes manual for this model that should help the right person get her back on the road turning heads again! These old 2 strokes are becoming pretty collectible these days and here you can get your hands on a good example that just needs a bit of tinkering and TLC. You'll also need a decent sized vehicle to collect. V5C is included.
