I will bet anyone 100 bucks they sprayed this bike with salt water before filming. I've been restoring bikes for decades and i have NEVER seen a bike with rust so red or with no pitting or rotting in the metal. beautiful restoration, no argument, but if you are telling me you didn't doctor this for youtube, then this was a unicorn.

[@Mid-American]

I've worked on old cars and motorcycles and a few things look odd as to corrosion. Metal pits and loses it's surface.

[@rameybutler-hm7nx]

I agree this is the european resto vid channel they make rust on purpose. The sri lanken guys who rebuild stuff are geniune.

[@johnbravo7542]

If you think all KZbin restos depicting rust on bikes or machinery, or anything made of metal for that matter is genuine you're easily fooled.

[@Mart77]

Most impressive is how none of the rusted bolts broke. And it's just inmpossible to wash off corrosion like on 26:20. I guess most of the rust here is just made with rust-effect paint

[@yamdigger]

Brings back old memories. I used to own a CB-100 in the late 80’s, early 90’s when I was living in Jamaica (I’m in Canada, now). The CB-100 is very similar to this one in the video. Those bikes were very reliable and easy to maintain and fix. Especially if you have a Hanes Shop Manual for it and good tools. It was also very good on gas. My CB-100 got about 120 miles/gallon. The tank took 2 gallons. That bike was my FREEDOM! I loved that bike and I miss it. Sold it to my brother-in-law when I migrated.

[@user-hg3dj7ek8s]

[@elelegidosf9707]

No, this is a heavily-modified CG125, and it looks very little like it did in the showroom. Someone in the past has customised it with a different cut-down seat, different front and rear mudguards, rear lights and indicators, as well as removing the the side panels and chain guard, plus the different exhaust.

[@speedyboi4623]

One of the most reliable engines out there! Had a cheap Chinese dual sport with a 250cc engine. It was cloned after the Honda cg engine and everything looks exactly the same to a tea! Even though the engine on the dual-sport was made of cheap materials it made up for it by being designed so well! Had the bike for about 3k miles before I sold it for another bike. The engine never gave me any issues and I beat the crap out of it.

I really appreciate the way you used your skill and experience to salvage that terribly ill-treated motorcycle and restored it to a useful and rather attractive machine.

Excellent work, you can tell a lot of time and effort went into putting together all these details with painstaking effort. Having said that, wonder why a little more thought and maybe some really quality leather/vinyl didn’t go into the seat? Seemed like one of the final touches, not to mention comfort when riding was treated somewhat like an afterthought. Anyway, I don’t mean to be critical, I can’t imagine how much time goes into something like this. Congrats on a beautiful restoration.

Hi, that was a very nice job you did on this motorcycle and thank you for the time you put into restoring it. I am an Iranian, I watched this video and it was interesting to me that a Honda 125 is being rebuilt, because this type of motorcycle is still produced in Iran and people ride it, and in the eyes of Iranians, this motorcycle has a long life, parts It is famous for its cheapness, high power, and beauty, and it is produced in Iran in Handy, Handy, and Starty types and in 125, 150, and 200 cc engine sizes. It is interesting to know that I also have a model of this motorcycle that has square lights and a simpler appearance. I have never seen its trail model before and I am not familiar with this model. Thank you very much.

[@aaqibbaloch02]

Same here in Pakistan.Although we dont have 150 & 200 cc models nor EFI models.i live near Iranian border and have seen alot of models here in Balochistan, But i wonder why are Pakistani models loved here😂While Iranian models pack alot of features and Pakistani models dont.

[@Arash-660]

@@aaqibbaloch02 Hello dear brother Pakistan in Iran like the people of Pakistan are interested in this engine with all kinds of motorcycle models all Iranian and foreign Honda buy this sample! And I'm sure there are also in Pakistan, but my friend the controversial point is that there are at least 2 to 5 of these motorcycles in rural houses in Iran and 1 or 2 in cities. Some take the engines of the trawl and replace it with Honda and without a license plate. 🇮🇷❤️🇵🇰

Wspaniała robota,coś pięknego

[@chenks54]

Great restoration! I was wondering however, having removed all the rust from the chromework, did you give those parts a coating of lacquer to prevent further rusting? Many years ago, I once cleaned an old chrome motorcycle luggage rack which came off my Honda CB125S. Having removed all the rust, without further thought, I just put it back on the bike. within a month however, with the bike being used in all weathers, the rack started to rust up again so I had to take it off and clean it again, this time giving it a coating of lacquer. It didn't stop the rust for ever but it did take several years for the rust to start reappearing.

[@dale5303]

[@savage8536]

Correct me if im wrong, I think you should connect the breather (redtube that come from engine) to the air filter unit

[@hondaryder3779]

The hose that runs from the valve cover to that intake pipe is the engine's crankcase breather. The lubricating oil of the engine gets hot, always in addition to a lubricating effect, the oil also cools the bearings and other parts. That oil therefore becomes hot and vaporizes in the crankcase. So there is some pressure there.
