I've got a new project
My dad brought this old girl new in 1973 - Honda CB125.
![]() He's finally decided its time to hang up his helmet for the last time (last ride this morning), and I'm taking her home in the morning to restore.

That's great, J
We'll need a detailed pictorial analysis, of course, so we can see what you have in front of you, and updates along the way, "just to keep you motivated, you know!" (It looks like it had easy miles - but just got weatherized? Front tire original?) (Edit - spoke too soon - dented tank?) |

It looks like a fun project, especially since it's already running.

Yes indeed. A Honda 125 was quite the bike back in the early '70s. Cool that it's stayed in the family.
This is my Honda 125 Elsinore back in 1974. ![]() |

Actually I did fall off at about 50mph in boardshorts and T. LOL I've still got the scars on my back. |

I didn't know you were Jimmy Page. Or did you just have his hair?
