A great review. How did I miss this for 8 years?

This was the best one. It had the same performance as the later Commando and thanks to the featherbed frame it handled even better.

I have this bike also This is common in our region

Best bikes ever built a work of art ❤

sounds great

If anyone watched this in 2024 let's gather here.

This is 2024 am still riding a CG125 Honda....original engine ...four gears.... whenever I start a journey I have hope and I believe that I have made it already not just making it but in time ...lots of love to Honda❤

Nice video, see you on the street ....

Doesn't handle, your having a laugh. That would out handle many modern bikes.

Beautiful

Excellent, thanks for posting this item, surely everyone has a space in the shed for one of these.

Is it true these buggers vibrate more than other 650 vertical twins of that era, which is why the ditched the feather bed and went for the new isolastic frame?

from the moment i saw this video, i knew i m in love with bsa m20. and finally i purchased and keep it run until now. thank u for creating and inspiring me of this video🎉

Greetings from Wisconsin! Well done video, beautiful restoration, great story!

By far the most customizable bike ever made easy to convert into a cafe racer, brat, scram, or even electric if you need something lightweight

Slime line featherbed….great rides….not long since I let go of a few wide line parts…great film

Absolutely loved that wee film! I had one of these as a young man in the 70s but had to sell in the mid nineties to pay for divorce…. along with my beautiful BSA A65T…. Even though I had a 1980 BMW as well….. I’ve really missed those two BSAs….. I’d rebuilt both of them from crank to everything else…. The A65 I fitted a devimead oil end feed needle roller crank bearing, was bullet proof after that… Hope to see some more films like this one

Developed for third world countries? Countries that have been plundered by European countries to fuel their economies. Plundered historically. Meddling in our internal affairs presently to keep us poor. Our poverty is your paradise.

I had a 1968 triumph trophy 250, same engine as the star-fire, I used to go to some marvellous country pups near Henley on Thames , about 15 miles via country roads, on the way home it was a bit like Russian roulette, many times on unlit winding roads approaching a bend, the lights would fail , and I would have to navigate the road from the memory of what I had seen just before the lights blinked out.

When this bike came to Iran 50 years ago under the Shah, Britain was the actual third world country based on the standards of living, democracy, and spread of wealth between the Kingdom of Iran and Britain. I very well remember (It is on the record on youtube), Britain was asking Iran to lower the price of oil. Not to mention Iran had saved most of British industries from bankruptcy. Until Britain and US staged regime change and installed islamic regime in Iran so they could plunder Iran's wealth to thus day. Nice review on this little 125cc Honda.

Super video, thanks.

Had one of the last of the line with twin leading front brake and rev counter and different silencer nice bikes

I learnt to ride on one of those (mine was the older version tho) Great bike i have to disagree about the lights tho. Mine at least were crap😅

Very Nice Bike 👍

I sold my wdm20 after 30 years of use..such a great machine,simple and reliable...always in my heart❤ this bike somehow created me as a man ..ridden from my teen age till last year at my 52 years....salutations from Greece

Fun fact: In the philippines, we call it Honda TMX (tricycle model extreme) 125 The manual stated "Do not attach a side car it will ruin the handling" while Honda Philippines was like "yea fam this is the perfect bike to attach a side car to" 😭😂

Live it

Speedo gone a big mad

What a fun video it's so cool how our friends over the pond have such respect for sub 100cc machines...

When I was at school I wanted a 650SS, even then they were rare. In the end I got a standard 1964 750 Atlas. It had the same beutiful seat you have, same good looking but useless clocks. This bike was already 10 years ild and I was competing against the first Superbikes. OK it got café racered. Combat Comando engine, aluminum everywhere, it would go but not stop. On the front I was using the twin leading shoe off of an early comanndo. This still braked like a wet rag. I had two choices, there is a stiffening kit for the TLS , alternatively a Manx front brake that was said to be good. I went radical. I found a double sided Norton 83 break on a racing sidecar outfit. Adapted my forks, skimmed the hubs (very important) fitted racing green linings. This baby STOPS! However, I now am 67 yerars old so for my sins I have bought a 1963 650SS, concurs standard right down to a 64 tax disk. It is smoother, more comfortable ride than my Atlas Café Racer, well balanced. You say it doesn't handle like a modern bike, well I own and have owned RD350LCs Ducati 900s, VFR Hondas. I can tell you a 650SS can danse like a ballerina in bed (don't ask the que'stion I have) However What I learnt when I first got on a VF 1000 honda was that THIS thing goes round corners at 130MPH+. For your front brake. Keep it standard, , take it to Mick Hemmings Norvil , andover or another Norton specialist and get it skimmed and reshoed..

These motorcycles are going to live forever. With good parts availablelity and people to work on them no reason that these motorcycles shouldn't see the century mark and beyond.

A baby Gold Star at a bargin price. Imagine a time when it had no ignition key was needed. A different world it was.

Sounds good.

I have one of those in orange with a high pipe. 6,000 original miles for$250. My best bargain in my collection of vintage British motorcycles. Not so shiny paint but still good.

Very nice Bike > I rode one in the Police in Rhodesia in the 70's Sweet, quick and Fast !

That's a proper bike that is!

Great video! Love this bike! 😄👍

Sports Special......Lovely job.... Enjoy it while you can.

I have the 1948 rigid frame and love it. Now the 3rd gear has disappeared but it will be sorted very soon.

No such thing as a bad A10 solid Bikes

Brilliant. Thank you

My Dad owned an A10 Flash. I have a picture somewhere of me as a baby being held by my mum who was sitting on the bike. My plan is to buy one and spend a summer touring around England on it.

Too much compression can lead to premature wear and piston melting.

one speed. i not sure but just how well would this bike take to the steep hills of the peak district and Cumbria hills. that is the question.

Masa Allha I have 97 model like new low mileage 4/5 thousand only I buy new one
