Some of you guys know my story of my 06 cr125 being stolen outta my storage space last year. It was a tough deal to go through and
even tougher for my daughter who was learing to ride it and planned to race it someday.
Since then we have been saving our pennies and dimes.
So here it is saturday morning and nothing to do so we decided to go window shoping. First we visited the yamaha dealer
and he had two - two strokes on the floor, one was a 2010 Yz 125 for $6K something and the other was
a 2010 Yz250 for I think around $6999 both are beautiful bikes, he said they were rare and that he had to trade for them with
another dealership to get them. Very nice guy. We discussed two strokes and he said he liked them, I asked him if he had heard of that
144 kit and he said he had, but he also threw in that he had sold a four stroke this morning, ha ha.
After leaving there I decided, what the heck, lets go to the Honda dealership.
We went in and was looking around at all the 4 jokes and low and behold, there it was, the 2007 cr125. Its what's called an nos bike.
It was too much to bear and we asked about it and got it.
It does have some flaws on it but nothing we couldnt stand.
I grew up riding Honda's and never had any problems with them, guess I was lucky or so we will see.
On a side note, they have a nos Cr250 for sale if anyone is interested.
Pictures forthcoming.

First congratulations TxTech. Your daughter will be pleased :)
Rideredmx2. I am a selfconfessed "Honda Hater".
Well that is a too strong title.
My "Dislike" of Honda stems from the "Honda Motor Corporation's" ingrained policy that 2 stroke are evil.
I have never figured out why a company can be so against a technoligy for nothing else but the personal whim of the boss.You have to remember this goes back to the 70's. Honda NEVER wanted to build 2 strokes but only did so to remain competitive with everyone else. Remember the failed NR500 ?.
Honda have built some magic 2 strokes over the years and have developed some interesting technoligy which they have sweept under the carpet.If they had let their engineers produce what they had designed i think we would have some neat 2 stroke road and dirt bikes.
Anyway don't take it personally. :)
I was reading the posts the other day that got out of hand. :( So i thought i would post this.
If you ride a dirt bike : Your good in my book
If you ride a Honda : Your good in my book. Has to be a 2 stroke of course :D
So' I dont "hate" Honda motorbikes, only dislike the companies policy.
I still own the 2 Honda's i had as a kid :)
I think this is the same attitude as the other "Honda Haters" on this site.
I personally just dont want to give them anymore of my money.
-
WOW!! I'm so very happy for you on the new machine!!
Stories like this warm the heart!

Really I understand this attitude... the big problem is that big red has some really nice machines... so for the two-stroke lovers your only choice is to buy used.
There is no reason to "hate" a company for their policies no matter how mis-guided it may seem.
It's simple actually... just don't buy any new products from that company... if you feel that strongly about it.

I agree John. Thats what i was trying to put across.
I dont want the Honda guys here thinking they are not welcome.
This sites all about 2 strokes right ? ;D
Hate is a strong word.
Anyway lets all just enjoy this site.
P.S Now if only i could get rid of the 4 Honda's in my fathers garage. :D Just kidding
-
Pbbbfffttttt, no matter how you sugar coat it,Honda's flat out suck.I know this for a fact because my main riding buddy will ride nothing else-despite my endless words of wisdom on the matter ;D
Seriously,congrats on the new bike TXtech.Now lets see some pics. :)

Congrats on the rare find, I picked up a 06 cr125 for a practice bike recentlly. The mod. race bike is a 04 cr125, by JM racing from TX. Check him out he builds the fastest cr125,s in the country, he did Josh Grants cr125,s for L.L., helped SRS with there motor program when Texan Jeff Dement raced the GP,s on a cr125. Tara Gieger,s 04 cr125, I have 1 of here cylinders as a spare backup, she hole shot most races against 250f,s. Chad Johnson,s team grean KX125,250. And Ryan Dungy,s Rm125 that won the L.L. 125 b mod. title. TTRR the chasis is the best ever, fit feel, durablity is outstanding, the jetting is a little off, I changed the pilot jet, main jet,airscrew, but I,m using my 04 coil with an icat, the coil might be a little different.

I have an 07 CR250 that I'm getting fixed and will post pics soon. I'm just curious what "nos" means. Was the 125 and 250 new? Man, that would be an incredibly sweet deal. In fact, I'll bet they are getting hard to find new.
-
NOS = New Old Stock
Or brand new never used.....
-
Take some pics already, I keep checking and getting disappointed LOL :D .
-
Thanks for the well wishes everybody.
Sorry for taking so long to get these pictures going.
This was an interesting purchasing experience to say the least.
Perhaps more on that later.
Anyway these are the bring home shots.

Very nice!
-
Sweet.I bet your daughter's some happy. 8)
-
Sweet bike......now go get her dirty ;D
-
Wow a new cr125, that,s hot and rare. I didn,t know what nos meant either, anyway I would get some quick alum. polish, and do the wheels,hubs, frame, engine,everything that is alum. Then clean and oil the filter, then grease the linkage and head stem bearing. The alum. polish makes cleaning your bike easier, since the dirt doesn,t stick as bad. Your daughter is so lucky.
-
WOW! TITS! ;D :P
-
Man, if only you could put a 4-stroke engine in that thing> ;D

Quiz question, how can you tell a dealership doesnt sell new two strokes any longer? (hint: answer is in a couple of my pictures)
Quiz question, how can you tell a dealership sells mainly bikes with fuel injection? (hint: answer is in a couple of my pictures)
Thanks for all the cool remarks. I got some work to do to the bike before I take it out to ride. Like I said in my first post, it has some
hickups. Seems they liked to let this bike fall over(bunch of jealous four strokers), especially on the right side. I have to replace the throttle tube and grip(s). I should also replace both levers, I believe at one time this bike must have been a parts stash for the 4 strokes, so I bought some
lesser priced levers for the time being. The pipe is scratch and dented but I'm not too woried about that right now.
They told me after my first crash, "you wont even notice the scratched right side number plate plastic, pipe, levers and crushed throttle tube" :o
Good suggestion to clean the filter and I will also check and change most of the fluids just for my piece of mind. Cant wait to see if the seals leak.
Even with all the hickups, I'm still glad I got it, but check what I have to say after the first few rides :D
John, Thanks for the help with the pics.
