My 1986 Honda CR125 went from donation to restoration! In this video, we follow the process of getting the bike in house, receiving all of the fresh parts for it, and restoring it to factory spec. In late 2021, a viewer of the channel reached out looking to donate his CR125 for me to restore and sit next to my other ’86 Honda motocross bikes. Usually I do not accept donations, but I took this project on.
We ordered all of the parts and restored this Honda to OEM except for the plastic and seat cover. A few of the major overhauls were the rebuild motor, restored forks, powder coated frame, cerakoted exhaust, stock bars, motor, foot pegs, etc. Big thanks to Kevin for handing this bike off to me and trusting me to restore it. This ’86 CR125 lives in my showroom next to my ’86 CR250 and CR500, completing the 1986 Honda trio.

The 86 CR 125 makes me think of two things: Micky Dymond winning the title on a "mostly" production bike. And O'Mara in Italy getting two 2nd's against 250's and 500's! Awesome bike, Charlie.

I ride one of these as my main trail bike. Keeps up with every modern enduro bike ive ridden with, very impressive bike for being 38 years old

Gorgeous bike. Had an '87 125 that we pulled out of a ravine in CO. Only thing wrong was the front forks bent. Tore around the fields and ash dumps of PA until I sold it off. What a stupid move. '86 and '87 are still my favorite Honda years with the orange/blue and gold rim combo.

Agree the 1986 and 1987 models are my favorite as well.

That looks Awesome! I rode my friends brand new 86 CR125 and it felt like a 250 compared to my 84 CR 125. That bike was ahead of it's time in engine performance and looks.

All great bikes! The progression of the bikes are always fun to follow.

Bro, that pipe came out sweet !!! Looks even better on the bike then on the bench. I think you nailed the factory look.

@CharlieFerer Год назад

Thanks Lance and I agree. The Cerakote is the best!

@johngrier5949 Год назад

Nicely done My favorite years 86/87

@CharlieFerer Год назад

Thank you John! My favorite years are 86/87 as well.

Hey Charlie, I watched this video again and I noticed something about the 125 motors on the table. The all black one specifically. You had it cerakoted which looks nice. On the authentic detail side, the ATAC chamber head pipe, The "ATAC" letters were brushed and not painted.

@CharlieFerer Год назад

Thank you! The Atac is Cerakote as well.

This bike is sweet. This was my original baby. Brings back memories. My other comments are the same as Mr. Squirrel except I sold mine for $900.00

What a Great donation to ad to your collection, Wonderfull restoration, it reminds me the 125 CR Johnny'O Mara rode at The 1986 MXDN, will you put the number 3 on it ? ;)

@CharlieFerer Год назад

Yes, agree! 86 is a good example. I want to keep the bike looking original so I do not want to put any numbers on the bike.

@briancook163 Год назад

You should do a video on a complete tank restoration

@CharlieFerer Год назад

Yes, I have a video on tank & plastic restorations. Please look under my videos to find it.

Im in need of a CDI box for a 1984 cr125. Would a 1985 or 86 CDI box work on the 84?

@arolpreston4955 Год назад

hey where did u by the plastics and decals from do u have a link thanks

@CharlieFerer Год назад

You can still find some OEM genuine Honda plastic or UFO. DC plastics make some as well. For genuine stickers google for them under decal set.

@masondekeyrel6539 10 месяцев назад

Any Idea where I can find a bottom end for a 1986 cr125r? Thanks!

@CharlieFerer 10 месяцев назад

I would search on google and ebay. They come up on occasion.

@gearhead762 8 месяцев назад

@TNTMOTO Год назад

Looks awesome. What cerekote did you use on the motor?

@CharlieFerer Год назад

For anything that is going to handle high temperatures you want to use the Cerakote black velvet. This coating will perform at temperatures up to 1600 f.

@TNTMOTO Год назад

@@CharlieFerer I had to go with Glacier Black on my 89 Cr500 build. The new right side engine case I bought came with all the bearings pre installed. Seems like a pretty good paint even though it's not oven bake. Time will tell.

@CharlieFerer Год назад

@@TNTMOTO you can bake that as well if you want to. It is an excellent choice.

@tycrumpton8976 Год назад

Are the plastics red or orange

@paulelm4645 Год назад

Wat are you going do with all these bikes

@CharlieFerer Год назад

They are investments. In 2022 I sold about 15 bikes because the market and offers were worth selling. A hobby and a great investment because these bike prices keep going up in value. Look at the prices at Mecum auction…it is impressive what the bikes are selling for. I will be taking four bikes for sure to Mecum next year because of what they sold for this year.
