    Ohhhh, she's a beauty. Raced against Johnny "O" on his 125 Mugen back in 1980 and that bike was pure exotica.

    Stripper rippers and beer the wizard is the man that bike rips. And sounds so crisp great job. And Christy nocked the graphics out of the park. That bike is badass.

    If that was mine I would put a classy old school looking light set up in the front. Rear brake light and hidden directions. Quiet that pipe down. And that be my neighborhood mini bike. Every now and again take it to the pit. Oh yeah and the set of Evel Knievel skins that won't mess up the paint.

    I rode a 1980 cr 125 ,back in the day. lots of others, but I get a huge kickstand just thinking back about these. The best motors, tons of clutch fun in the sand bullet proof. Smashed the bike and traded for a 1982 650 maxxim.

    No lie . We rebuilt the motor on one of Jojo Keller's old CR250 1980 1979 like that bike. With the red motor. The brakes horrible. I gave John c $100 as soon as the motor was in the bike and it was rolling. And drove it home with no front brakes . We're horrible on that bike.. Power systems in Pembroke high School..
