Honda 1977 CR 125 or 1977 Suzuki RM 125/370 Replica Build off - Which One

[Luke Lloyd]

Ok Guys, looking for different Opinions, I have secured some trick parts ( Fox air shocks and a set of Simons forks, Thor Swingarms etc. ) and i'm looking at a cool build, I'm torn between a 1977 CR 125 or a 1977 RM 125/370.  I know they are very different but i like them both.  The idea is to do a 77 Steve Wise Replica CR125 or do the Suzuki into a Moto-X Fox Suzuki.  There just seems to be quite a few Suzuki's around but not many Hondas.  Any Thoughts ?

We seem to have similar taste.. I've got a Moto-X Fox RM370 and have collected many trick parts to do either a Marty Smith or Steve Wise replica RC/CR125.
They are all good bikes, it depends on which you prefer and which one you can get the trick parts for...

or sell me the parts so I can do one 

Yep - easy way out?

Your 370 looks very nice Johnny, I'm a pretty big fan of the 370's but I'm a Honda man and its kinda like cheating on your misses hahaha.

i think I'm heading in the direction of the Honda i think, i will just have to find one now, so if you have one floating around please get in contact with me.

Fox RM125/370 has been done to death ....... I would go for Steve Wise

there is no denying that the suzuki's look hot, but it feels like every man and his dog has one, so i have decided to go done the line of the honda.   Along with the other parts i have already mentioned i have just picked up a porcupine head for a cr125, so with that said, it was this purchase that cemented to honda as the one I'm going to build.

So stay tuned, i just have to find the bike now and then we will be all go.   hahaha

[Rossvickicampbell]

[Luke Lloyd]

the 'Swingarm of the Gods' bike i just built up has the Simons and Porky head

[Slakewell]

I was keen as to build one of these as I thought the Honda is a little unrepresented in the pre 78 class plus I have 2 tucked away. My plan turned to shit thou when the Mugen kit I started biding on went over 4k. There was a guy on Mark's with a Mugen up pipe and Muffler that he didn't want silly money for.

nice bike mark, those simons ignition covers care pretty rare, I'm sure there would be a lot of people looking to take that off your hands
