The 85-87 crs are the best looking motocross bikes of the 80s in my opinion
Agreed including 250 and CR 500r.
I raced desert in the late 80's
Agreed
Without a doubt.
I agree me and my homee had identical 85 cr250s wish I could go back and do it again......power loyalty and respect Fresno CA
Agreed. I do have to admit I also love the 88 89 gens with the red plastics. Had a 85 CR 125, 87 CR 125 & 89 CR 250
The 85/86 Honda CR was the epitome of styling. They look so damn good.
I had an 85 CR125, the bike was indestructible, multiple seasons always started first kick I used to bottom out the shocks all the time cause the bike balanced perfect in the air. When I sold it it was still running perfect, my 84 CR 250 was crap compared to it.
I used to say to my mate's back in the 80's that I don't think dirt bikes can look any better . Just look at that bike and tell me I was wrong.
They are all frame now. When I take my 1986 CR125 out just in my driveway. People are asking about it, saying they love it. That's all age groups...even old ladies. haha
I miss the period of about 85'-95' when it comes to dirt bikes, ATCs, and ATVs... Hell even snowmobiles. It was such a progressive gain in performance from the roots off-road recreational vehicles. May even consider it the golden era considering just how well the engineering development of the 2 stroke came along.
Wow in Australia these types of bikes uncut Gems just don't exist. If they do I've never seen one. Until this channel👍🇦🇺
The thing about these bikes, as every enthusiast well knows, it truly is museum stuff, these bikes are not for beating into the ground. They are collectors items, if you buy it, and beat it back to “raced” condition, you need psychiatric help.
Or money has less value to you than the joy of ripping this classic 2 stroke
In 1986 I was 15 and I would have sold my soul for THAT very bike right there. Probably still would. Absolute gem. Thanks mate, you've taken me down nostalgia road for a few minutes.
Everything Honda made in 85 and86 was world class...all the cr's, 3 wheelers, and the fourtraxs
Crispier then my bag of triple fried chips
Fast piece of '86 Art fellas. The Anti freeze point you made is Very important - the lads who have my last 80s CR will not listen, makes me Cringe!
I can Send this video to them, with 'MUST WATCH'.
Many thanks for sharing Knowledge and the beauty. Credit to the previous owner too.
I remember this CR like it was yesterday. I was still reeling from the 84-85, yellow to white, Yamaha YZ color changes. In 86, I still hadn’t completely recovered from the new “white” YZ bikes hitting the dirt. But I DO remember the 86 CR 125 looking fast standing still ! But it wasn’t enough 😂😂, you still couldn’t keep me away from the YZ’s. Even though we had to suffer all the way until 96, to get the infamous BLUE YZ’s and the upside down forks ! The rest is history, lol. SWEET BIKE KEN !!!!!
Still like yellow w/black bars YZ scheme....it just yells out so many old riders names that paved the way- and it looks right.
I need a CDI box for 1984 cr125 would a 85-86 work for the 84?
Damn that bike sounds amazing
Sounds amazing
I used to ride a 125 Elsinore Honda mx when I was young, and upgraded to a 1982 YZ 250 in1982 and can still whoop new bikes on that same bike, I am also 62 years old.
Man to think this just sat in someone’s living room for 40 years and I just have to say thank you 👍🇺🇸
Wow!!! What a find. Thats awesome to see a bike from the 80's in that condition.
Your passion for dirt bikes is unmatched !! I love you guys !!
I was a Suzuki man in the 80s , however the 80s Hondas were just superb machines. This 86 CR125r is just stunning. Love to have it .
Thing sounds better than new 125s
Takes me back to Dec 1985, me and my buddy jump in my 76 camaro, head on up to Denton Honda and go pick up some spark plugs and oil, and we happen to pass by the new line up of CR's, all shiny and ready to ride. Those were the days. Nice bike bro's!
Beautiful piece absolutely amazing love too see it
Love that bike I have always dreamed of,
That was supposed to be my first bike. My dad and I gave the guy a deposit then said we’d be back tomorrow for it.
The next day he said he changed his mind and he wouldn’t sell it. I was the saddest I’ve ever been.
Few months later a got a 94 Xr200r for 500$ same price as the cr, but it needed a topend. 3 years later here I am with the same bike and the topend is again apart within a hour of the first rebuild.
Long story short i have no clue why I said that but I wish I got the cr125.
One of the bests CR's ever made!! Honda nailed it, best coIour combo, Honda orange, blue seat, gaitors and gold rims, had an 86 CR 125 back in 88, cost me £1000.
One of the best looking year Cars ever 85-87ish really was beautiful in EVERY respect. The motors were nothing less than fierce out of the box either.
Maybe one day I'll be able to fix my 87. The rims are extremely hard to find my clutch cover was also rotten but I used one off a 95 cr125.
1986, Honda was on top of the motocross world, and by a large margin
That thing deserves dirt . Not to sit and collect dust. Soon enough No one will care to look at it
Yep... 2 schools of thought on this subject.. I'm with you.. The bikes DESERVE to be ridden.. 👍🇺🇸👍
@@2-strokeracer531 plenty of beaters out there to ride still.
what a great bike….those 125s were the best light quick and a ton of fun
Your killing it! This was released when I left Utah. Ron’s sporting goods Cedar city, Utah 1985. I saw one before I left. Just amazing!
I can remember falling in love with two stroke bikes . I was maybe 8 yo and I heard this noise that sounded like a thousand bees in a coffee can. Then I learned how to ride thanks to my boy John Brinker I learned on a 84 CR . 80 then a 77 YZ 125. Then I went to a CR 125 Then 250 then a YZ 250. TT 250 Then street bikes CB 400 Four . KZ 600 KZ 750/ GPZ 500 FJ 600 / ZL600/ZL 900/ZL1000 /78 KZ1000/ 99 CBR600F4/99 CBR 929 / 02 Soft tail / 08V Rod / KTM 950SM / 01 custom Night Train/ 72 Sportster / Custom 74 Trouble Head Chopper / 2010 CVO Springer Soft Tail / 04 ZZR 1200. And a few I forgot about that I had for a short time .
I got an 86 125 in mint shape. I want a 1986 CR80, or the 1986 CR500 in mint shape, or a nice restore.. I got the cash saved. lol Just got to find one in my area...could take a while, might have to get one shipped from another province if reasonable.
Rippa
Truly breaks my heart that these two strokes from the mid 80s and 90s are being sold north of 9 Grand....😩💔
9 grand? A new in the crate CR500R can't be bought for less than 30k!
@@KaplanCycles Kaplan can you please share the recommended lubes for these bikes? Gearbox, oil, etc.
Thanks for sharing the ^.
@@cheto2952 yes do it yourself to save money, plus we are not taking new clients anymore we have a 1 year backlog already.... And We charge $90 an hour for labor plus parts to do a frame up restoration, do you know any other legit shops of our caliber that can do it for less? if i did i would send bikes to them for us!
you can buy a New AF500 starting at 22k , a new steelie in the crate if you can find one is priceless i offered 30k for one and he would not sell it was a 2001... fb marketplace and craigslist junk turds that look like they were stolen and lit on fire are still selling for 3 to 6k, nice used ones 7 to 10k, frame up restorations done right are 12 to 20k+. engines ALONE are selling for 4 to 5k Stock on ebay

That's awesome , but man those oem seat covers were slicker than snot on a door knob. ✌️
1986 CR 125 legend, definitely minty fresh 🍃
Great looking CR. have an 1985 all original great condition afraid to price MINE.
I had a 86 cr125 I did frame up rebuild and then had a guy come offer me a rediculas amount of money spent 5500$ on my bike I was shocked guy said he used to race a bike that looked just like mine
I had that exact one but the side of the head had engraved initials as was ported and polished, plus boysen reeds and was wheelies 1 through 6. Sold it clean like that in 1990. Best bike in the universe.
Man this video makes me wanna rebuild my 86 Cr125. I just need to find an engine though.
I need a CDI box for 1984 cr125 would a 85-86 work for the 84?
Perfection
Look up " Honda Asimo" ...
wondering how much oil this machine takes exactly for oil change?
Where to buy cr125r 1986 year cheap plastics?
Wow that bike is cherry reminds me of Johnny O'Mara at the 86 mxdn
Had one the exact same back in the day. Brings back great memories listening to that sound.
Do you ever get any Cr60's in? Would be funny to see you try to ride one. lol
I had the same year 250, and a 91 125. Those bikes ripped.
I just got one, exactly like yours, I'm restoring it
Wow beautiful dirt bike 👍👍👍👍
I could smell the 2 stroke through my phone 🇺🇸
Just the way I remember it in the brochure . Awesome.
the only thing that sucks about this bike would be if the new owner just beat the shit out of it
Damn, that bike is hotter than a six shooter on the Fourth of July.
I like how you got something on every bike man keep her going bro
I have an 83 Cr 250 I rebuilt it
Do you have a 1982 Kawasaki KX125
She sounds crisp! Damn nice bike.
I had one that was a bit unique nowadays. Pro circuit modded. Porting pipe carb bored to 36mm. Suspension mods. They also had these cool square tube alloy subframes. And this works replica swingarms. Which I had on mine. I've never seen another one with those parts. It was fast.
How can I go about buying this bike?
Way back when Honda CR's were known to be pipey ... good to see they fixed that by copying the Maico porting lol and I thought only China was copying everything western. haha
This one is not pipes and is not a maico clone, only the early cr480 & cr500 air cooled copied maico, by 1986 EVERYONE COPIED HONDA
The more I see these late 80s Honda CR's, the more I like them. They really are just beautiful bikes. I would love to have a 2 stroke someday. To bad Honda won't make them anymore, guess I'll have no choice but to get a Yamaha, yuck. To be fair, I wouldn't complain if I had a YZ 250 x. Honda is my favorite though.
Kapalan is vareity man👍🌹👍
Beautiful! Had a 85 CR 125 and 87 CR 125. Such lookers! Had a 89 CR 250 and have to admit I love the 88 & 89 gens with the red bodywork.
Damn that's so siiick I want that
It's nice but I bet the water pump is rotted out just like every other one I had one of these bikes for about five years and the water pump was a nightmare
THE ENTIRE WATER PUMP AND ENGINE CLUTCH COVER AND WATER PUMP HOUSING ARE NEW ... watch the whole video!
If this doesnt give you the gooseys... What a beautiful piece Ken!
I knew if I waited and watched all your vids you would get to my bike, my first bike at 13 was this bike
I didn't like the gold rims at the time, they look so cool now.
It even came with the old clutch cover with really bad pitting from the coolant.
This has really taken me back, I only wish I could smell it to 👍
Wow that thing sounds crisp I had an 86 cr125 an 86 cr500 at the same time back in the early 90's raced them in hare scrambles then such great bikes.
Gorgeous bike.
My first 2-smoke was am 86 CR80. As mentioned above these were the best looking bikes.
Nice 👏
A friend of mine had one of those, it was immaculate for some reason his mother wouldn't let him out on it. We were out blowing our bikes up while his sat in the garage.
Sounds amazing almost has the bark of a 250 2 stroke on idle/rev
Nice bik but do you want to ride I don't I would love to take in the cornfields never gonna look like that again so back in the living room
What an awesome little ripper. I remember seeing them new on showroom floors, they were the hottest 125 around.
Seriously sounds so crisp. Like the day it was born. what a piece
DIME PIECE

Use JB weld it will last a while.

the water pump and cover cost $510 plus shipping from austrailia. so i can sell you those 2 pieces for cost + 20%
Hey Ken, I'm just giving you a hard time, 😉, no shit right!!!, I grew up in Wethersfield, live in Maine, on a serious note I'm looking for a z50, or an atc 70, for my kid,
