I've got a 03 CR125 brilliant bike to ride. very usable power, plenty of top end, suspension is pretty good, brakes are pretty good too. just an all round great bike
This is such an awesome build, these older 125s are so cheap and make a perfect bike for people wanting to learn, or for someone who is looking to do a dream build type project.
I sold my 03 cr125 in 2009 and bought it back in 16’. It needed rings, so I bought a 450 and put it in my shed. Got it out last week and bought a top end kit for it. Waiting for it to be done right now. Can wait to rip it again. I love that bike.
Just recently got done doing something similar on an 03 CR 125 myself. All said and done without 'homey hook ups' was just over 3k. Original cost of the bike was $1100, so another $1900 in parts was actually what it took...
@@ConnerBonner1 Here in the UK we have a growing problem with the cost of the sport rising and tracks closing for various reasons. If we could show the next generation that you don't need a brand new state of the art WIFI hooked up bike(which is cool IMO but not essential) then you could get more bums on seats. More bums on seats means more publicity and more cash flow in amateur racing and clubs. More cash for winning in amateur racing means more attraction and were off! Have a look at @johnnyhopper and his channel. He highlights the sport in America (in his opinion) is slowly heading South too and I have similar opinions about it. I'd love to hear what the sport is going through in America and what other people think about it. Also if you are on the other bench like expressed then I would love to hear about your ideas and thoughts about how to grow the sport to new people who may not have 7-10k sitting to buy a new bike. Let me know what your thoughts are. Cheers.
@@mikearmstrongofficial1725 All the karens here in SoCal hate it lmao. I agree with you, the U.K is a small country and theres a lot of moto fans no doubt about that. The U.S is more open with more tracks and more spread out across the country. idk, different environments, different opinions...
I’ve been looking for a winter project, there ain’t much here in pa an surrounding states, I’ve been looking daily for something, an it’s either way over priced or needs way too much work! But I no if I’m patient something good will come around hopefully!
03s usually seem to bring more than 900 around my way.So you guys have the hook up.And because there is a market they are continuing to increase in price unfortunately.People think there clapped out bikes are worth 1800 or more and would need framed and bearings and everything else.I love a blue collared garage build.Nice work.
Many times motosport has sent me incorrect parts and wouldn't accept the returns because it cost more money to return so they tell me to keep it. . I literally give the parts away at the track. Pay it forward.
Budget builds are the best 🤘

Yes indeed $2000 Dollars to buy Bought a 2004 RM250 For $1000

I dont have much in my CR500.
$2500 for the bike
$550 on suspension revale & respring.
$140 brakes upgrade.
So just a bit over $3k and race-ready.
More builds like this would save this sport.
The sport is not growing wdym?

Realistically about 2800 in the bike,
A lot of buddy deals here.
Still a bargain. My KDX220 in very good condition in the PNW = $3,200
I have a 2004 Honda Cr125 that needs quite a bit of TLC but I’m hoping to get it riding dependable and affordable like this video!
hey, how'd that 04 turn out?
Thank god no “re-style” or “new style” plastic kit 👏🏻
I don't know I like them both ways
John Plate I feel it’s been over done, IMO
@@schecterman54 oh you mean to many people doing it or it's to loud
Restyles are ugly imo
Agree, I love the OG plastics. I have an 06 yz 250 and wouldn't ever go restyle
Listen to this thing, whoaah it rips hard, pfft who'd want a 4 stroke.
Sounds good! Going on marketplace now 😂
So clean😮I,m in the process of doing a 2006 CR85
I’ve been looking for a winter project, there ain’t much here in pa an surrounding states, I’ve been looking daily for something, an it’s either way over priced or needs way too much work! But I no if I’m patient something good will come around hopefully!
In my opinion the 3rd generation aluminum frame is still the best frame!
Awesome stuff man
03s usually seem to bring more than 900 around my way.So you guys have the hook up.And because there is a market they are continuing to increase in price unfortunately.People think there clapped out bikes are worth 1800 or more and would need framed and bearings and everything else.I love a blue collared garage build.Nice work.
in sweden you can get a really good cr 125 or even 250 for under 2 grand
Wow I can’t find any 125 for 900. They all want 2k for a clap out bike.
Been trying to get my first bike like this but all I can find are 250 and 450 and they are asking like 3-6k
I found a great one for 1200 but it’s not close to me and I was so sad cus I have around 1200 cash rn 😢😭😭
I just got a 2000 for 1,300
Rad video Klinger!
Front bobble at 0:32 to 0:34 rebound is way too fast and compression too soft.
He done a good job👍 Wick On ✊
Does anyone know where I can find the electronic power valves for the 2004 cr125? My engine does not have the power valves in it for some reason
I hope an 05-07 CRs pops up for sale so you guys don’t have to always give wack about the CR
Where those applied clamps come from?
No mention of forks and shock £££££.??
What’s a McGuyver! model.
Bike is sic, love the real garage rebuild🤙
Were can I get those graphics?
Just curious. The tag on the frame said 2003. Wouldnt that make it a 2004 model?
Does that mean my car is a 2020 ? Because the tag says 2019 !
Awesome !! 🙄
Where can I find the power valves for the 03 cr125?
People are wanting crazy money for used 2 strokes that dont even run. $900 for a running 125 is a steal.
What style sticker kit is this? Anyone know
I've got my eyes on an 03 cr125 it's in mint condition, he's asking 3500, good buy or no?
Where is this bike located? I feel like I know which one you are talking about. Is it located in Breaux Bridge LA?
@@29jade no idaho
@@RhiceyHarierar ooooh ok
Thanks for no "rEsTylE kiT"
No RC valve???
2004 was the first of the RC valve on the CR125
I got an 03 husky cr125 for 1500 off of marketplace
That must be a Restored CR125

I got my 03 Honda cr 125r for $500
I’m looking at a CLEAN ONE 2004! CLEAN AND UPGRADES! OMG I WANT IT! OMG $3k-3500 tho lol
How long ago was this?
Sounds like it's running a little fat
Samand demi my dog bideford
