I'm chucking the towel in on this one

$4000, and still 21 hours to go!

I bought one of these new from Norm Fraser's for $650. I sold it after a few months and went back to Frasers for another new one for $595 during his run out clearance sale.
   Great little carry over model, but my next purchase blew my lust for them out of the water.

Big dollars for a 125 but its so original and unmolested, a rare find these days. A little gem that would be nice cleaned up and left in its original condition.

The prettiest bike Honda made. I'm finding it hard to believe the bidding is "real" on this one though.

You wouldn't restore it, then it's just another restored cr125 and loses all its patina and value. You may as well start with a $1000 bike to resto..

Hi Brett, no,,,,I love the little 125Bs, but have never had one :'(

The Quantum leap from the last M1, was my MK10 250 Pursang, I have seen a few posts on here bagging them, but most likely by those who have never really ridden or owned a well kept one. A very underrated machine, the Mk10.

I always had a least half a dozen bikes or so back then and all went.
At that same time when I still had the last M1 when I got the MK10, a perfect 350 slimline Sherpa, a Maico, a 500 Titan,

We didn't have a car, we had a beautiful 650 Yammie, instead.

We loved that Yammie, we are pretty certain our daughter was conceived on it.

  Iam with you on the bullies mick ! after the m1 i had a rm-s ,then a mk9 370 -all great bikes but the pursang was so good to ride after the 125's , great power and handling and like any well-kept bully was easy to live with  ;)
