bump? he NEEDS to ride!

Does he have any pictures that you could post? Are you sure it's not a CB, instead of a CV?

Or could it be a CR 125?

The first CR 125 was a 1973 model. One of my coworkers was the very first test rider in the US to ride that bike. His thumbs-up helped give Honda it's first go in the US market with a legit motocrosser.

If it's a 1970 model, it's likely a CB125.

old Honda streetbikes:

CB = downswept exhaust

CL = upswept exhaust

ah yes that's very right. I saw an Elsinor at Milestone MX park that was completely fixed up. It was a thing of beauty.

Ive been wanting a late 80's CB 750

Why late 80s? Another coworker has a '73 CB750 that he has fully restored and takes to a lot of shows. It's a beautiful bike. The late 60s (1969) and early 70s CB750s were really nice and have a lot of character.

Here is an early production CR125 Elsinore. This photo was taken at the Twin Ring Motegi Collection Hall in Japan. It's one of Honda's Museums.

Down this row are some early CB125s. I don't have any good close-ups...I think they're on another drive at home.

[wrxkid]

That collection is priceless!

Strobe, sorry for the thread jack.lol

[FyrFytrRyn]

those bikes are BAD! cant wait for pics.

[strobelite]

here are the pics!

but it is now rustoleum instead of green.

5"? please?

[strobelite]

bump

[2wheel_lee]

Yep, that is in fact a 1970 CB175K4.

Noting that the bike has been stored outside with the airbox missing , has me greatly concerned. Seeing that the carburetors are open and fully exposed, I'm betting things aren't so good inside the engine. I'm going to have to pass on this one.

[strobelite]

yet another bump.

[strobelite]

bump. anyone?????

[Rockinthecasbah]

if it was running Id be all over it, but being stored open outside makes me think there is way too much work
