1975 Honda CR (1975)
HERE IS A 1975 HONDA CR 125. WHEN I READ THE ADD IN THE BARGAIN FINDER I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING ADD STATED 1985 HONDA ELSINORE 125 ALL ORIGINAL HAS NOT BEEN RAN IN 35 YEARS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT THAT IS WAS A MT OR ENDURO BIKE BUT WHEN I CALLED THE ELDERLY GENTELAM HE SAID NO IT IS A MX BIKE AND REALLY GOOD SHAPE SO INSTEAD OF BOOKING AN EARLY MORNING APPT. I ASKED HIM IF I COULD COME LOOK AT IT AT 10 AT NIGHT HE SAID OK SO I DROVE THE HOUR AND THIS GUY HAD THIS BIKE WRAPPED UP IN 4 SLEEPING BAGS AND HE SAID WAS HIS SONS BUT HAS NOT BEEN DRVIN IN THE LAST 35 YEARS SO I WAS EXCITED TO GET THIS BIKE HOME AND SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO. WELL IT TOOK A QUICK CARB CLEAN AND I SQUIRTED SOME OIL DOWN THE CYLINDER RINSED OUT THE TANK AND MAKE UP A QUICK BATCH OF KLOTZ AND GAS AND CLEANED AIR FILTER AND 4 KICKS LATER THE ENGINE CAME TO LIFE. WELL WHEN I DROVE THIS DOWN THE ROAD YEP IT STILL HAS THE BUAHHHHH BUAHHHHH BUAHHHH THRU THE GEARS OH YEAH, BUT HEARING THE PISTON NOISE I KNEW IT WOULD NEED A FRESH PISTON AND BORE TO QUIET THE FAST AIR COOLED ENGINE. ALSO LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DID THE FORWARD MOUNTED SHOCKS SETUP AS ALOT OF EARLIER MOTOCROSSERS DID DO GAIN A FEW MORE INCHES OF TRAVEL.2016-06-17 04:47:14Saint Joseph, Michigan, United States1111,500.00
