1973 cb125
I am selling a 1973 Honda single cylinder four stroke cb125 street motorcycle. It is a five speed that tops out around highway speeds depending on rider weight, (70-85mph)
it runs but currently is not “ridable” I rode it here to my house about 5 miles or so when I moved in but I know it needs floats and jets (or a new carb, VM22 around 60$) and a condenser, which I have. I also have a new NOS Honda air filter, and the fork seals to be replaced. I bought a new 6v battery when I got this and tried to repair the old carb. I also stripped and sealed the gas tank as it had some rust (POR-15 tank sealing kit NOT KREEM) and replaced the tires and tubes with Michelin gazelles brand new. I got in touch with the last registered owner and went through the DMV to get a new title, Not a recovery or theft or Lien, just a replacement title which I now have in my hand, clear, and in my name.
The good
Low miles 3500 or so
5 speed
great on gas
easy parts availability from Asia as these are still sold there for cheap
some new parts including uninstalled fork seals and air filter.
A complete bike original with blinkers, bars, seat, side covers, air box, battery holder, taillight (cracked have replacement), tachometer and speedo, the only thing it is missing is a front fender and side stand.
Heck it even has the Honda toolbox with tools inside a roll up case!!!!!
The bad
Needs repair/tuning of carb or a new carb
Needs condenser switched out (pretty simple job two wires)
Also I am not positive but it looks like the ignition switch may have been replaced at some point. I do have a key though that says HONDA and operates the ignition on the bike.
Missing the kickstand but does have an easy to use center stand (its only a 125, light!)
The kick start arm was stripped when I got it, I tried to weld it on but failed. If you have a MIG welder perhaps you can try again, or just race/run start it!! Again it is only a 125 and will turn over pretty easily in second.
$650 Firm
I am offering a couple of bikes for sale and the first one to sell is it, So I am firm on the price and not interested in any trades. I have done my best to describe the motorcycle to the best of my ability, let me know if you have any other specific questions.
Thanks
I will remove the ad as soon as it is sold, respond via email.

[/size]I just copied the craigslisting but i may make a better deal to a DTT member if it looks like the best way to finance my trip, but only if nothing else sells.
