'83 Black Honda CM125. Looks big for a 125 (having previously ridden CGs). But parking it in my mums garage next to her husbands MotoGuzzi California makes it look like a tiddler!

Has anyone on here owned one of these bikes? Are parts easy to come by? There doesn't seem to be that much info about them on the web.

It's been stood in the garage of an ambulance station for 18 months and needs a bit of cleaning up - theres sod all rust on it (rear wheel spokes and thats it). I'll be spending the weekend with a tube of Autosol and some rags..... Very Happy

Itching to get out on it!

My friend has a CB125 although the he tells me that the second piston isn't tuned so that when the rev's go down(700) the bike cuts out. He gave me a go on it and i enjoyed it, its nice and comfortable plus it has a bit of power. D

Its the CB125, which is actually quite a good little 125 engine. Its a 4 stroke 125 twin, basically a 125 version of the superdream engine, but to my knowledge its just a 125 engine, not a sleeved 250 (which was in turn a sleeved 400).

Good little bike, it was actually restricted to come down to 12bhp for the old law from about 14.5bhp.
