A yes from me, CB125s are great fun to ride, but very slow

I like it lots, some parts are out of proportion, the exhaust being one, bit that's just quibbling.

It needs a better paint job. It looks a bit 'ordinary bike with bits added/removed' and a decent paint job would transform it. But otherwise 'oil give it foiv' :thumbup:

Rather a sad end for the little CB125S I learned to ride on.

A mate and I had a pile of those for Winter bike use. Man they struggled two up,we got though at least 3 engines. :lol:

I can't get any want worked up for a Honda,even though this one isn't a bad looker.
