1975 Honda cr125...this is not your usual bike.

Ceranti forks up front, Fox Air Shox on the rear on a 1978 rm125 swing arm. The cylinder is freshly bored (2nd over) with Honda piston and rings. This is a cylinder that was owned and run by Mark Barnett when he ran for B&E Honda in Valparaiso, IN. Note that this cylinder is ported.

Custom high pipe, custom silencer, original grips. Way too much to list.

Thats ugly, it makes HL's  look low in the rear .  ???  wouldn't that height in the rear make the bike handle badly ?    Iain

Absolutely! And the rear shocks would bottom when the tyre is only half way to the guard..

Every time I see a Monster Energy sticker on a vintage bike the word wanker immediately comes to my mind. This bloke hasn't let me down ;).

Ha good point Firko.

Least it can be saved and we could distribute the parts to other projects (save for the Monster sticker) and no harm would be done.

Firko going by the number he is a highly rated wanker at that.

You guys have no foresight... this was a factory mock up of the red rocket. This one missed the crushers.

You could hurt yourself on this.  The silencer looks like its of a yamaha TZ.
