Damn 2 cylinders on just 125cc is wildly awesome! So cool 👌👌

[@TheRoamine74]

Agreed !

[@broganhogan3469]

I want one of these things so bad. It must have been hard to stop smiling after this ride, something to be said about enjoying the old CB’s

[@legobioniclemocmaker4553]

I've got a quick question is it easy to drive a Cb and what's a fair price for one?

[@auvomesilampi6325]

@@legobioniclemocmaker4553 I had one and it’s reliable and easy and fun to ride

Love it, great little bike.

[@jacobbrewer1391]

I am looking at one of these for sale . This video was the first one I came to looking them up! Awesome video and what a bad ass little bike. Excellent riding.

[@TheRoamine74]

Very reliable bike and more powerful than the current muffled one euro shit, just need a good yearly maintenance (Carb, mechanical ignition, general greasing, oild change and valves clearance) and you are set. 15 years and 20000km without any issue.

Had my first ( white ) in 1979 got another now ( currently black ), a 1981. The motors wear their bores quickly but sae 50 fully synthetic tamed that a little. Mine has had the head skimmed now runs at just over 10 to 1, I have 26 mm flatslides on it and shaved over 50 lbs of weight off it too. Sits comfortably at 90 mph. On down hill sections it just nudges 98 confirmed by a friend on a Ninja 600. I'm going to over bore it further press the stock liners out, machine them to accept CB 185 liners and Wiseco high comp pistons then set about the cylinder head. Rework the head and gas flow it. Mine makes nearly 20 bhp right now , at the crank. Around 3 bhp up on stock.

Hi have you heard of arch oil, there's one of Jay Leno's garage videos on it, it's a friction modifier, I tried it on an old cb500 using a bit of oil every week, it was amazing, like a new engine, on tick over it went up 3000 rpm, might help with power and wear, no will. I only found out about the cb125t today, want one. 👍 Supplier power enhancer UK.

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

Active 7 us great stuff too, worn clutch plates don't like it much though. Makes wet clutches skip. Easily sorted with a new set of upgraded clutch plates though.

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

That's meant to be Active 8, not 7.

[@agrajag868]

@@geoffcaptaincpaige1167 hi arch oil only affects metal, it doesn't modify the oil, absolutely nothing else changes. 👍

I had the same model new in 1982. Used to happily rev to and through the red line. Used to beat my mates RD125. Fastest of the unrestricted 125's. Sold mine the next year and bought a 1977 CX 500 when I'd passed my test. Love both bikes.

[@chrisjohns9631]

Got one exactly the same, I’ve had it since 1994.

C'était vraiment une excellente moto. Un peu fatigante, mais tellement amusante. Elle tourne vraiment bien, ce qui est rarement le cas sur celles que l'on voit encore rouler aujourd'hui.

[@TheRoamine74]

Moteur refait il y 5000km, compression au top et réglage aux petits oignons, ça aide :). Effectivement ca peut être fatiguant en ville, 0 couple en bas il y a qu'au dessus de 8000 9000 que ca commence à pousser un peu!

Ca a l'air de bien tourner pour une 125. En plus elle fait un joli bruit d'admission. Ca donne autrement plus envie que les 125 modernes en tout cas.

[@TheThunderwars]

Sympa le ride... J'ai une T1 de 1978 que j'ai énormément modifiée, je suis en 15*38 donc je tire plus long. Je suis passé en 142cc, gicleurs 90, admission libre avec cônes conçus maison et imprimés en 3D pour amplifier les pulsations à 11.000 tr/min. Je prends 135GPS depuis. Mais ta vidéo me fait me languir de l'été où je compte la prendre pour descendre dans le sud à un bon rythme. Je vais passer en 14*38 pour l'occasion et ne faire que de la petite route.

[@finnishturtle3059]

Got a cb125t2 from 80' myself ive ridden it for 2 days now had the fuse wire break after a ride but it is all good now it is a great little bike indeed i like riding it way more than riding my friends yzf-r's only downside is the electrics arent the best but since the new fuse wire its had plenty of electricity so could just have been that the fuse was the only issue

[@TheRoamine74]

Electrical hardness is not bad, just old so forgive it :). Check if you have all the ground in place, no wire touching, and that the battery give you 7-8V at mid-High rev (meaning the rectifier is OK). Excellent bike when well set, YZF125, KTM duke 125 and CBR125 have a better start on the first 20 meters but well behind when the CB is at high rev !

[@SeimenSagt]

hello, have you tuned the bike or does it drive so well originally? greetings

[@TheRoamine74]

No upgrade. Engine rebuilt since 5000km and all is well set and in good shape. 130kmh is normal for this bike (most powerful 125cc 4 stroke ever made for a standard bike) ! The only drawback is the lack of torque at low rev.

[@mathiswerner1952]

@Romano Explore Seeing your videos inspired me to restaurate my CB 125 twin engine aswell and i was wondering where you bought the new bearings is there a possibility to order the whole set ?

Hi, where are you from ? You mean wheel bearings or else ?

[@mathiswerner1952]

@@TheRoamine74 Hey thanks for the quick reply i am from northern germany. The bearings i mean are for example crankshaft or transmission bearings that are placed inside the engine.

These were my first two bikes. Great engines. Terrible front brakes. The rear drum actually had more stopping power than the front disc.

[@TheRoamine74]

Not so bad if good condition (which is 99% not the case today, usually too worn), but you need your full fist on the lever, not 2 fingers like on hydraulic :). I block the rear tire easily on mine.

[@duncanmacpherson2013]

Cable operated disc brakes were never a good idea !

Hi, what's the difference between this engine and cm125t 6v engine?

[@DifferentRides]

Crankshaft mostly

[@TheRoamine74]

Same engine but crankshaft 360° for the CM (pistons move at the same time up and down, for the cbt 180°=> one up and the other one down), so a bit more torque but less power (less rev). For the Rebel it has just one carb and 360° so only 11hp (16.5hp for the cbt).

Super moto fiable, j'ai jamais eu de pannes en 15ans et de grandes distances comme Toulouse-Annecy en une journée :). J'ai prévu un tour du mont blanc en Juin. Elle roule environ 1000km/ans l'été. Pour la réserve j'ai toujours passé la réserve en roulant sans soucis moteur, jamais entendu ton histoire, bizarre. Ca crapote, on tourne le robinet et ca repart pleinement 10sec après. Ce genre de soucis c'est surtout sur les 2 temps où le graissage s'arrête en même temps que l'essence et le piston chauffe.
