That is a very pretty bike allright . My only question is : because that model came out standard with a 23 inch front wheel, how is the handling affected when you fit a 21 inch front wheel ? I imagine it would shake its head a bit. Because it is more of a garage queen that would not likely be ridden in competition, it probably doesn't matter anyway.

Im with you Ross  ;) the 79 Cr 125 IMO ranks up there with the 84 CR 500 as Honda ugliest MX bikes ever . Adding all that bling just proves you cant polish a turd  ;)

The black rims are a turn off :P. The pipe is the horn part.

Just keep it on the back wheel!

You got to hand it to the guy though, its appears to be a top class resto. Look at that pipe, I wish I could weld that well.
