Hi, just bought a Honda cr125r 1982 for $200 so no guessing how good it is !!! But it's 95% complete. Could anyone recommend  where to a get a rear shock rebuild re-gas done.   Thanks Rob

your local bike shop should know where you can get the job done.

don't listen to him!, if you're in Brissie, I'll come and pick the bike up and give you $220!! and you won't have to worry about fixing the shock! how good a deal is that!

HI, I'm near Newcastle. "It does sound like a great deal" .Awesome price for a parts bike but having never rode one i had wondered if by the time i get the cr race worthy will i have spent to much? I ride a 1974 cr125. So i could ride 2 different classes which would be great. Have not checked anything as yet except a quick rub back on the plastics. The tanks the only one that could be saved. Last owner had the cr since he was a kid hasn't been started in years said it use to miss a gear could't remember if it was 2nd or 3rd.    Thanks Rob.

Rob, i used to live in Newcastle and bought an 82 CR125 new back in the day.
one of my favourite bikes of all time. i loved it, it did everything i threw at it and just kept on delivering.
if you do decide to fix it up for a racer though, bear in mind it being an 82 model will slot into the pre~85 category and it will be a little outclassed by the later 83,84 models.
but if it's just about fun, then they're cool bikes for sure.
and i'm pretty sure Mainline doesn't know what he's talking about
