Red or Green stripe? 1974 CR125M
« on: May 29, 2008, 09:55:51 pm »
Can someone clear up the confusion? I have a 1974 CR125M with a silver tank and green stripe - to the best of my knowledge it is the original tank.
A so called Honda expert was in my shed the other day and insisted that the bike should have a red stripe.
The plate on the steering stem states 74 CR125M and the serial number begins with 1
Is he right?
In the process of restoring the bike and would like to keep it as original as possible - advice appreciated.
