Can anyone help me identify this bike? I was told that it's a 1997 but a friend looked at it and said the forks are wrong so it must be older. I have no idea. Any help is appreciated!
It happens. Are there any numbers or letters on the engine cases or cylinder head? Sometimes the 'code' can identify the year. -BIG DANThanks very much. Can't find the VIN anywhere... Not on the neck for sure.
I'll have a look today. thanks again.It happens. Are there any numbers or letters on the engine cases or cylinder head? Sometimes the 'code' can identify the year. -BIG DAN
Thanks for the good information......... What's wrong with the back tire? I took it for a rip yesterday and I think I know what you mean about the acceleration, very little bottom end, but sure flies at the top!Definitely looks 89 to me. the year of the white frame and the leading axle conventional forks if those indeed were the originals tells it. pretty nice shape from the looks of it, but WTF picked that rear tire??!! I guess he wanted to make it accelerate and handle worse than it did to begin with.
FYI the two larger cr's got the USD's in 89. Honda made sure the 125 was going to out handle both of them by sticking to the conventionals. the first frames and execution of the forks themselves put the switchovers behind in the handling dept.
