I bought new one in 1982 and loved it. Many happy memories. My friend slid off the passenger seat and ended up standing in an intersection.....good man John!
Amazed that started without a carb clean first, checked your fuel mixture screw? - I would also have checked for furries & other undesirables in the air box. Nice find, fantastic bikes, I loved my 1st bike, a 1980 XL125S.
Hallo,habe zwei aus dem Jahr 1979 mit dem vorderen kotflügel unten überm vorder rad.ist auch ganz hübsch.eine hat schon über 140 000 km. fahre die Dinger oft und gerne. freundl. grüsse.
A friend had a red one of these 1980, whilst I had the Honda CB125T. We sometimes swapped bikes on the way home from college. The Honda was a much smoother ride and felt like it had a lot more power. Wow a bike with no number plate. So you for this short time actually own that bike and will give it to the state when you register it, making you the registered keeper. I wonder if Z plates exist in the UK so that you retain ownership? Good job getting it going!
I had a 79 UK version and it had a more rounded tank. That one looks like the tank fitted to later monoshock 125s. As its an import though, you can never be sure.

Start engine before servicing, high revs during cold weather, start to drive without warming engine. Pretty cruel guy :D But thx for video
I think the rings are blown. Lots of smoke revving out head.

Nice to see you back chief.

My favourite bike, all the ones I came across were dogs you hit the jackpot there as long as the price was right. lol
Price was right enough 🤫
Great bike! Also thought I was watching Fury.

Good job getting it going!
We just call it an age related plate which will be in my name. Still not registered it tho. I need to get a move on
Helpful tip for future leave the bike on choke longer let it warm up properly then it will tick over better. Good job on getting it running tho.
Thanks for the info
Very nice old Honda. With a little T.L.C. She’d be like new.
Genio, gracias amigo. Tengo una igual y es fantastica.
Ay áreas donde la presión del agua hace más daño que bien
Later than 1980 82 I think ?
Yeah possibly. I’m getting it dated with VJMC
Maybe is. I’m getting it dated off VJMC
You can check the VIN plate behind the headlight on the frame of the bike and it will say the year of manufacture.

Hi lovely bike, I had one back many years ago, do you still have it ?, if so is it for sale, Kind Regards Mark...
Yes still have it but not for sale sorry
What do think of the xl185 as I'm thinking of getting 1 .I live in kendal so I want to get in the hills .
I really like them but not actually ridden one yet. I’m still mid registering this one. Once done I’ll be going out on the bike completely legally 👌
Great job 😁
Thanks 😁
I like this bike
