Can anyone tell anything about this bike. I have a chance to pick one up. How does it hold up racing the other bikes in it's class? Any known problems with this model? Thanks Terry

It a great bike, the best 125 from 1980 IMHO.
Great motor, excellent race bike, reliable, would recommend swapping out the rear shocks
for Ohlin's or something of similar quality.

Thanks for the info. I'm picking up the bike in a couple of days. 2.5 hour roadtrip required.

Dos,
Is this the one that was just up on Ebay?

I am restoring one right now. Can't wait to get it done. I have (3) 79s that I like and the 80 is supposed to be better.

Great bike! Honda fixed almost all the problems from the previous year (power, handling and 23" front wheel) except it still had crappy shocks.

I have a friend who races one regularly and it is FAST!

Yep, This is the one that was ebay. I bought it and will be picking it up on Monday. "J" I noticed that you have a 79 KX250 also. Do you race it? I posted a picture of mine in the Kawasaki section. Sounds like I'll be buying another set of Works Perormance shocks for the 80 Cr125.

Dos,

I'm restoring the '79 KX250 to race in the 2008 season.

I had a childhood friend who grew up in Tehachapi. How long have you lived there?

About 30 years. What's your friends name.
