1950 Model 125

The 1950 Model 125 was available in colors! You now had the choice of Sportsman Yellow, Flight Red, and Riviera Blue, in addition to the ever-popular Brilliant Black.

The other big change for 1950 was the new American style solo seat, which replaced the English-style seat used in 1948 and 1949. A one-piece front mounting bracket replaced the former two-piece unit.

Engine changes: The flywheels were changed. The piston pin is larger, so the connecting rod, piston pin bushing, and pistons changed also.

The generator changed from 2 brush to 4 brush.

A new fuel valve appeared in mid 1950. The new valve is the familiar pot-metal valve with main and reserve handles.

More little changes: the taillamp has a new bulb, and the taillight wiring connector has a rubber bushing to keep water out. The front fork upper snubber has changed slightly. A spacer has been added to the coil mounting bracket. The clutch cable has a few minor changes, and the clutch hand lever uses a new bushing. The fender rivets changed sometime in mid-year.

Standard Colors: Sportsman Yellow, Flight Red, Riviera Blue, Brilliant Black Special Colors: Azure Blue, Metallic Green
