@Quirin M. im a student so i dont have a lot money extra. And i just bought a car with takes most of my money. Id have the money to a buy the bike but dont got the money to ride it
Recently bought a 01 kx125 for about $400 that I am currently restoring thanks to your videos. I've always enjoyed fixing old bikes up, but doing this one from the frame up. Awesome work and dedication and great videos!
Thanks Vasily. It depends on the type of riding the higher the compression you will get much better bottom and mid range but you will loose a little off the top. Great for any track or situation where you are accelerating consistently. Did you put one on the shifter kart?
Awesome build mate, I loved the series. It's unfortunate but restoring dirtbikes will always be a labour of love with very little to no profit in it. It is still an absolutely sick bike though.
Same price as a brand new 125 almost, but this is a lot cleaner, cooler, one of a kind factory looking bike. As an 03, it Possibly performs bettter, than say a new SX or YZ125, idk. I hate working on bikes, so this much blood, sweat, and tears building it would never be worth it to me.
Stock bike versus a pro level fully worked up bike for the cost... I'd build a bike the way you want and trick it out, a stock bike even new is still stock. Start with a good platform (2006 or newer yz250) (2003-2007 cr250r with 05-07 preferred). Suzuki can be okay as well if you like great turning bike but the build quality isn't as great. Kawasaki have super nice engines but they feel awkward compared to a honda.
We ended up doing a lot of aftermarket racing parts on the bike and that’s where a lot of the additional cost came from. Most of these parts were sponsored though
Everyone bitching in the comments obviously never done a build themselves. It's not about the cost it's about seeing it finished and looking as good as this does. I applaud you and your efforts great build 👏
What you plan on doing with the old shock and fmf I think they’d look great on my 96 cr I’m in the process of building and also in the process of recording my “tear down” video for my channel I hope to get up and running. I could really put those parts to good use. If you think they will fit my bike and would be willing to sell it, we could definitely do some business. Get back with me if you’d be interested. Also, Great video as always as I have been keeping up with this build from the start. Keep it up man. 💯💪🏽
Great video. This channel is way underappreciated. One question, what is the substance you are putting on the screws in the linkage before bolting them?
Hello, can you tell me if it is possible to find a cr125 piston in the 55 mm measurement? I await your return, as this is difficult to find here in Brazil
Anyone wanna sponsor me for some wheels for my 1986 cr500 restoration? Haha. But bike came out awesome man, love seeing this amount of work and detail going into a bike. I usually spend more time restoring bikes than I do riding. Spent a few months on my bike, didnt spend quite as much as this build but costs add up fast for sure. Hope to keep this bike for some time, everyone needs to own a 500 at least once in their lifetime haha. Hope to have a 125/250 like this one again soon as well. Long live 2 strokes!
Nice build the CR looks incredible!! Have you thought about putting 47mm showa forks on it and another question is that new shock all stock and are the current forks all stock as in the valving? Just curious.
Thank you Eric! I have though about putting new front forks on the bike but had already put a decent amount of money into the bike and it’s hard to get sponsored for used forks.
@@adampaganelli4891 hey I understand the sponsor thing, I'm my own sponsor!! LOL!! If you can swing it get the Race Tech gold valves and do it yourself and look on E-Bay or go to oemcycle.com and check their prices out for these. Trust me once you revalve your suspension it makes riding a lot nicer and with your mechanical skills I know you can easily do this yourself! :)
Witch do you think is cheeper to do a complete rebuild on a cr85 or a crf 100 those are just examples but I think personally 4 strokes are a bit cheeper I'm doing some mantince on my cr85 and it has cost me alot of money i dont have a crf100 but anyways what do you think is cheeper to completely rebuild like you did to your cr125
@@Adam86br but the thing you have to remember is that you need to replace parts so much more often on a 2 stroke then 4 stroke I guess its just the difference you need to live with like you have reeds,cluch,piston, stuff like that on a two stroke and on 4 strokes also but you need to replace them more often on a 2 stroke I've had the same piston in my 4 stroke sense 2004 and that's the year it was made lol
I think that Honda cr is a really good bike, but I don't know if it's better or no of another 125 for example tm 125. Anyone will be make a suggestion for me?
30 grand to build that including labor? Yeah bud, I think you might have overspent by about 26-27k if you ever expect a return from it. and that's if you keep it in the condition it's currently in. Saying that, immense build and a lot of time spent as well as money. It's not always about money, sentiment is worth a lot.
I never expected a return from this bike, I only wanted to see what I could create while showing you guys the process along the way. Very few restoration jobs are profitable even in the automotive world.
@Badass Skeptic I concur, then the more people who watch, like, subscribe and view also give them money via RUclips payments. I guess at least some of these people give the bike away at the end to someone who would/could actually rip it - hopefully he does something similar and doesn't try to get 10k out of one of these silly kids saying that's what it's worth in the comments. I'm not at all fussed though, it doesn't effect my life but it's an odd world indeed sir.
some cant see that getting a 250cc dirt bike for $700 ends up costing $5'500 to get running good and $18'000 to fix up for a show. some people get snappy and say things as if they could do the work themselves, so they don't want to pay for time... ''thinking verses doing'' they think of doing it but they think to much, that leads to thinking that they can or have done it... then you get guys that show up to the work site... they say they know what they are doing, but just like the bachelor sweet they rent... everything sits in a pile of other rusting metal for 20 or more years before they finely do anything with it.
Nice bike for sure but if I had that much money to spend on rebuilding a bike....i would definitely just buy a new one..i want to say that you may be hard pressed to get that money back if you sell it...still a sweet bike!
Yes basically. Though that price has nothing to do with these other vehicles. Think of it as someone restoring a mustang. Someone puts 50,000 into a 67 mustang when they could’ve bought a brand new one for that price. It’s the nostalgia of a two stroke bike you cannot buy anymore that’s why it’s worth spending money on.
@2Stroke Tyson It is worth it, 1.) You can't buy a brand new one. 2.) He went through the WHOLE BIKE. Completely a new bike! 3.) It is Beautiful! A job well done. I thank him for videoing the whole process.
Where are you guys finding these $900 bikes? Everyone in my area wants top dollar for their clapped out 2 stroke or they do not have a title (state requirement) to show proof of ownership of said bike. 🤷🏽♂️

The rider because that's the dude that rebuilt ab old bike into a new amazing bike
Tires and rims/ all the powder coating work...Great job is an understatement! Cheers from Canada.
SWINGARM and rear Shock, and the powder coating. Oh yeah the graphics and the seat two. You know what? The whole f!@#$%ing bike! 😍
Can't even say bro you nailed the whole thing. Great work bro
I think you should do a ktm125 as your next build
We need more youtubers like you and Cameron nimela
Those Tusk and Primary Drive parts are looking good! Such a clean build. Good work!
Thank you 🤟🏼
It costs elbow grease lots of elbow grease and time plush effort I love your vids dude
That’s for sure! Thanks for watching
Awesome build bro! Loving all the 2 stroke rebuild videos from all the youtubers!
Thank you🤟🏼
My God.... Absolutely beautiful bike bro.. No corners cut!!
Thank you!
You inspire me to work on my dirtbike I appreciate that. 😀
Happy to hear that man!
Wish i had one :/

Job well done. Very sweet bike!
Can’t believe all the haters commenting “just buy a new bike”.
Obviously they don’t get it.
New sub

thats about what i spent building my 05 cr250. it would be so much cheaper if honda would start producing 2 strokes again!
That would sure be nice!

What kind of oven is that you use the ones I find for smaller atv parts dont heat up hot enough

One question, what is the substance you are putting on the screws in the linkage before bolting them?

Sorry for not getting back to you. It’s medium strength thread locker. This brand was permatex, though loctite will produce the same results!

Yes basically. Though that price has nothing to do with these other vehicles. Think of it as someone restoring a mustang.

@Tom Bateman that's painfully obvious. You really are putting some thought into these replies arnt you 😂😂
@Tom Bateman dude I'm asking about newer year models.........I no a fucking 98 mudgaurd will fit my 98 cr .......
stupid question but what torque wrench are you using
I was using a Eastwood torque wrench
oh ok cool
Very nice videos, nice bike and well executed. I wish you could recoup all of your cost just from youtube views and keep the bike for yourself.
That would be nice for sure. But it feels good to know someone will own something that will perform extremely well for them
Does he live in Baltimore
I do not
you can get a 2019 KTM 150sx for less than that
You can buy a 2019 YZ125 for less too! FAR BETTER BIKE!
