I've got a 74ish Cota 123. I'm the 2nd owner. The bike was a used by the wife of the owner who i also got my 247 from.
Bike was stollen at one point and was returned painted black. The owner striped the frame when he got it back and painted it a light blue metalic (think old chevy) He left the tank black. When I got it I dip striped the tank (fiberglass) to find the orignal gell coat nice. worn in some spots but nice. It has been in thebasement unmoved for about 12 years now.
It never was a power house by any means. Kick starter like most 123 is hit or miss as long as you feel it engauge then you can kick hard but if you don't feel it don't kick you'll pop out your knee (been there done that)
This is early 74ish as it is left foot shifted and HAS 20 inch front wheel!! Tire is in good shape not mint but good. I also have spare rim and tire.
Fenders are OEM alum units.
As i recall it a little on the low side compresson wise and i belive ive got a top end kit for it.
Make offers. Buyer can buy any of my spare parts at 1980 list price for 123 that do not fit my 247. I do not sell 247 parts.
