HONDA NS125F REBORN

This Honda ns125f 1988 was going into a skip it was saved by my brother who asked me if I would like it took me 3 week to make my mind up I said yes ok. When I first saw it it was red rusty swing arm and forks seized the bike broke down 12 years ago so didn't run both tyres slit the bike was in a right mess so a nice little project...... So what do you think ??

So many memories.. My first bike at 17 back in 1989. She was a beauty, R/W/B Honda NS125F (reg I think was F184 NLM)
My mate had an Yamaha RD50, and my NS looked amazing in comparison!!
I bought new 18 months later a NS125R... nice, but it was as nice as my F..
Fantastic resto my friend.. finding that original bean can exhaust is hard though.. I ride a restoration of an NS125R a few years back, but to sell the project due to divorce etc..

Thats strong money mate. I have a friend that paid £5.600 for a very clean one so if its £10.000 it must be mint with low miles on it.

I had a new one C510YRW always blowing up!! Couldn't wait to get my Rd350Lc but my kr1s was a lot better, now 51 so enough of all that.

Ottimo lavoro 👍

A really good job done here! I ended up having to fully rebuild my own 'fh after a major crash. Nice to see another one back in circulation. May have many miles of fun and safe riding on her!

I am restoring an ns125r at the moment. all stripped down ready for paint. the only thing holding me up are finding the bushes for the prolink and shock!! the internet only seems to provide jc20 and onwards!! no tco1 bushes or parts catalogue😣 can you please tell me where on earth you found them???

[@TheToyBoy1978]

Really nice job mate, what a transformation! how long did it take from start to finish and how much did you have to shell out on replacement parts etc?

[@TAZ19762006]

NIce restoration. I'm in the middle of restoring one of these any ideas as to what length the rear shock is?

[@pugslyftw8973]
