1987 CR 125 Tribute and Restoration "Dead or Alive" 

I love the color red and I love Hondas

Heck yeah man!! Hey I'm 48, there is still plenty of good riding at our ages. It keeps you in shape, gives you a reason to exercise. Nothing wrong with that just have fun and ride within your limits. I'm actually building another 87 125 right now, the one in the video was stolen about five years ago when we lived in another state. I'll have some video on it and a review soon!

That's awesome man, hope you e joy it! Those 94-98 KXs were great bikes, I've had a couple. Lots of parts available too because they shared so much

@PonykillerYes. Restore it & ride it as hard as you can because that's when they perform & handle best. Wish I still had my 87. You won't be sorry.

Honestly I salvaged a frame, forks, airbox cylinder/power valve and seat base!! Had to find another bottom end because I couldn’t even get those cases split. It was way too much work haha!!

@Matt Lombardo yeah i believe that..thats the way it was with CR80's too.. I had a 1987 cr 80 in the early 00's that me and my dad fixed back up, and it was as good of a bike as any other brand 7 or 8 years newer.. Honda REALLY had the competition beat on quality in the late 80's.. We later put that engine in newer frames '87 engine in a '93 frame and then later a '98 frame, 11 yrs newer frame....and I know 1990-1999 CR 125's all have the same engines.. Can any other brand say that?

Thanks! Yep, that’s Kahuku!!

Did ya get it running?

StilwellMotovlogger yep has been running since Saturday the last time I wrote this message

but youve seen cylinders as crusty as shown right after? LMAO

@@tejdz1337 yeah ive definitely seen cylinders like that but never seen crust actually pouring out a carb like that. seen them covered in it but never that bad.

Matt Wiggins you will probably have to scrounge radiators on eBay, and there is a vendor on therr that sells chain blocks but they arent cheap. Dennis Kirk carries some of the Maier plastics. Most other parts available. I still have the 88 blood red tank if you are interested, it is mostly restored and there are places that refinish them to like new. Honda still makes the fork boots. Many of the motor parts interchange from 87-89. Hope this helps if you have other questions I'm happy to help.

What parts are you looking for? I have a rear sub frame, and a few carbs and a gas tank also for a 1987-1988 cr125 I had one a while back and I had a whole parts me bike but a lot of parts just came up missing

Wyatt Pieretti Same here man just bought a 88 a free months ago can't find a few parts it needs

Wyatt Pieretti sell it ik it's a legendary peice of art from Honda but the parts are lesser till this day because it's been about 30-40 years

I have a 89 cr125 and it won’t idle and is leaking gas and the bowl srews are stripped

@@braptasticfilms3791 if the bowl is leaking sounds like you're floats are stuck .that's can happen if the bowl leaks fuel the floats get dry and get stuck

It was stolen out of my locked garage in Hawaii. In the middle of the day. Scumballs....I'm still sad about it. The bike even had an old FMF pipe that Giy Cooper used. Grr....

Very late reply as I didn’t get the notification but what a damn shame that people do that stuff, amazing video and the song went perfect with it👍🏽👍🏽

Jason tizenot it was an 88, but I restored it to look like the 87.

Jason tizenot the plastics faded boss ....from 87 to around 97-99 Honda made all there 125s , 250s and 500s red with the pro link decal kit

+Stephen Weaver Ebay

+Avenger 21 holy hell 10 months later I ended up with a 4 choke Dr 350

Stephen Weaver I wish i could get me a nice bike i have a 1978 honda xl125 that won't idle

+Avenger 21 man I sold a 88 kx 125 that wouldn't die I beat the thing and it just took it 2 stroke is the way to go

Stephen Weaver All I had to do to get it running was to put a new spark plug and points, cleaned the carb, and it fired right up
