I still have my SS125 Honda , owned it since new , bought it March 1970. only thing you have to watch are the exhaust / silencer units . they rot out and are impossible for the correct replacements .. . Some other parts can be tricky too. Great little bike .
Had an identical one , MJE 446H almost from new , beautiful little bike , unburstable engine, would say this was good value with such a lovely restoration !.
I bought a rusty, locked up CL125A scrambler version of this bike from a salvage yard a few years back and transplanted a CD175 engine into it that came from a swap meet for not a lot of cash. If the frames look the same that’s because they are but for the location of one of the top engine mount bolt holes. A couple of minutes with a drill and the engine can go right in. I also swapped in a 5-speed transmission from a CL175 into mine and now have a one of none “CS175”.
I had an identical one "back in the day". Lovely li'l bike & although I'm too big for it nowadays, it'd be a good classic bike to own. Eventually swapped out the SS125 for a Yamaha AS3 (125 2-stroke twin) & then I bought a new RD350 in 1974. Happy days!
Peter, I finally bought a CWC after watching your videos for so long. I always wanted before as well but, seeing yours sealed the deal. Got the Mellor-72 Have work in the UK and tried my best to make it to you guys but, won’t be possible this time. Love your videos, best regards from India!
In 1970 the year that this little jewel was made, I bought my first house at Epping Green in Essex, for £2500 and I swapped an electric cooker for a Honda 125 SS just like this one, with a broken engine. I fixed the engine and used the bike for commuting to and from work, and eventually sold it on for forty five quid. The house which cost me £2500 which is almost what Andy Tiernan is asking for the Honda, is now worth £400,000 and is exactly at it was when I bought it. This shows how much the pound used to be worth compared to today.
someone has done a lovely resto job . beautiful
They were un-burstable, I don't think we'd ever seen a road bike that revved like it.
I broke the cam chain twice on mine. lol.

Mine is a 92 MOD issue , so squaddie proof and I have worn it for work for the past 12 years or so. It even went with me when I went to India .

I'd have thought Mr Honda David Silver would be onto this one......
Already sold .
A real Honda! Very nice, cheap I'd say!
