Hondas NOT so surprising anti 2-stroke stance.

[ford832]

I had just assumed that you bought a Honda because you were getting old and couldn't handle a more powerful bike.
Hahahahahaha.Sorry,but given everything that's just transpired here,I really couldn't help myself
 Euros do sometimes have a tendency to put things on the opposite side from the usual.My Berg had a left kick,pipe on the left and a right drive.I'm not sure why though it was never an issue

Ford,

Are you trying to confusesus me?  I can only kick start a bike with the kicker on the right side, physically.  
And for the record I am a whoping 44 years old !
I have always liked Honda because all my Honda's were very reliable and then I decided to buy a two stroke.
The years between my riding consistently and now are too many to mention.  You guys need to handle this old timer
with kit gloves and now you guys are getting an idea about my riding history.

TxTechRedRider - it's true, Honda has made outstanding 2 stroke motocross machines, and is the leader of the anti-2 stroke crusade. Since they no longer produce 2 strokes and have stepped up their anti-2 stroke rhetoric and deeds, it makes it easier to badmouth them.

But ALL RESPECT to those riders riding red.

If you like 125's TxTech i have a deal for you.

I have a mint condition 1973 TL125.
When i say mint, there is only a few things wrong with it.
1) Forks are shot
2) Shocks are shot
3)Fuel tank leaks
4)Throttle sticks
5)Brakes have never worked.

On the plus side.
It still has the original tyres
The chain was new in 1980
New grips in 85
It has a low seat hight for us old buggers
You shouldnt get into any trouble with the power delivery.

Let me know if you are interested. I can organise the freight.

44? Pbbffftttt, you're still a pup.I've got a year on you
Left side kick,though awkward at first,was better for me in the end because I have RM hip on my right side-so called because I was cornering deep sand one time with my leg out on my RM when I went down and popped that hip out.
Honda bashing comes naturally to me as my main riding buddy will generally ride nothing but-presently with a CRF450X with a Rekluse-more commonly referred to as "that POS lawntractor with the girlie clutch"
He's likely still working on the YZ but my two favorites of his when I had the Husaberg were "HusaTurd" and "LoserBerg"

TMKIWI,
My attempt to be witty can be somewhat lacking at times and this is the time.
ok, well I dont quite understand your post as it has some spelling errors  
I cant justify the purchase simply because we still, I own the XL175 I grew up on and yea thats a 4t.  
Interesting enough is that this Honda 1972 xl 175 bike smaller and my 2007 Cr125 is larger.
But thanks for the offer.  Is the TL a honda?  
A lower seat, well thats just blasfamy.    I guess you are suggesting I am loosing bone mass.

Thanks Chris2t for the remarks.
Ford, dont give me any ammunition.  Yea, one of my riding buddies gives me a seriosly hard time about searching out a honda 2t and not buying a honda 4t.
Really, I think us Honda riders including RidRedMx2 are stand up guys and my communicating with him on a limited time span recently, because we are Red Rider brothers, has made me respect his comments and points of view, as would I of other brands as well.
I am not trying to defend him here as he is an experienced rider and has stated his position clearly and perhaps I can attempt to relate our
thoughts to yous guys.
As John said and forgive me for I may deviate slightly from his true meaning somewhat, as he state earlier, and in a Honda 2t riders perspective nothing hurts worse than your brand seemingly hanging a diehard rider/purchaser of their product out in no mans land by halting 2t production like Honda has.  
I know yous guys can see our situation so...it hurts like hell to have all these 4t bikes and great riders riding what I consider the wrong bike and even not winning.

TxTech.
Yep i have had the bike since 76. 
And yes it is a Honda. 
Went from QA50 to TL125 To CR80.
Didnt have the 80 for long cause mum reackond it was too fast. Still not talking to her 

Enjoy your Honda while you still can get parts for it.

Or just buy a TM which is a CR copy.
