THIS CR125 IS MAGIC: ON BOARD

[@KaplanCycles]

SEND IT SON!!

[@hurstshiftin9873]

Chip off the old block 💯! Raised him well be proud your allowed. Great kid!

[@troymcdougall6170]

That thing sounds amazing and looks like it pulls like a freight train! What an absolutely beautiful bike. There's nothing like the sound of a 2 stroke!! That sound takes me back to my youth, and I'll never tire of hearing it.

[@jonmyers9223]

I had both an 83 and an 84 back in 1984. The 83 was the better of the two, the 84 suffered from major headshake. This vid takes me back for certain!

[@philipwurm5121]

Oh man…… Thank you so much for taking me for a ride on my 83 CR 125. My favorite all time bike. What I wouldn’t give to buy this bike off you guys it’s such a huge part of my life but after all the health issues I’ve had topped off with a kidney Transplant it’s just not possible. I just hope whoever gets this beauty appreciates and loves it as much as me… Thanx again guys…!!

[@joey0077d]

Nice to see these Old Honda’s are not dying but are being restored to there old GLORY. Beautiful !!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Drivehead103]

I love that vocal response to the Hard-hitting powerband! There's just something special about those 125 Screamers that makes them my favorite. That sound!!!

[@markallen6818]

It's amazing how fast good 125's are.I had an Suzuki RM 125N and Loved it.It won the Motocross Action Magazine Shootout in 1979 for good reason and was still good enough to win it the next year also.They made fast 125's back in those days.

[@KingCast65]

Yah it's really special. And this one is perfect.

[@grizzlibear500]

Great bike. Bought one at age 15 when it came out.Kept it many years. Pure joy !

[@joebaker2324]

We need a 'love' button for these types of videos for sure! What a rippa! Sounds fantastic on the pipe!

[@AudiophileTubes]

Long live those magical 2-strokes.... the essence of motorcycling!

[@brettfrimmer6567]

Crisp 125 2 stroke on the pipe. Best sound in dirt biking in my opinion. I wish i could smell the 927

[@dominickserignese8837]

That bike sounds badass! Cool wheelie footage!

[@TheCeki1982]

PWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Basta! Honey I'll be back in five minutes, or 5 days. Who cares.

[@harleyrider9640]

The professor Gary Bailey used to ride one of those '83 125 CR's in his motocross schools..he'd do AMAZING shit on that bike!!

[@Lefevreremodeling]

Because 2 stroke lives matter! I'm an addict, my one and only drug of choice is 2 stroke! Keep feeding us the beautiful eye candy 🍬 Great work

[@kevinlong2074]

85 CR125 pro circuit pipe bypassing the atac raced it at 338 in 89 with a bald nobbie still almost had the hole shot top end on that bike was what I call joy

[@737diesel]

Another classic. Beautiful restoration. I love the 83's, and thanks for keeping the number plate color the way they should be.

[@bruceweller873]

I bought this bike brand new in May 83" when I was 17..First new bike I ever owned after riding junk for 3 yr. I felt like a factory Honda Rider on this dream machine.

[@Deddy72]

I had an 84, at 12 years old 😂. After blowing up the top in twice we moved on to an 85 XR 350. Hearing the sound of that bike and looking out across the handlebars of the fender takes me back to being 12 years old

[@hurstshiftin9873]

Jr. Great narrative skills! Love the cr125's

[@bloomerb4162]

Sounds really good and crisp.

[@paulfleming4710]

I raced the 1980 model. Simmons forks fox shocks dg pipe bosen reeds. It was fast. But water cooled came out and they didnt have the performance fade at the end of race. The bikes got so damn hot. I raced in florida..hot always

[@T1C45]

I have only owned one bike in my lifetime. The 1989 KX125 . I thought I was Untouchable until a younger buddy of mine got a CR125R. Long story short....I can remember seeing alot of the back of his jacket whether it was racing or trail riding, that CR was the one that was Untouchable.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Youre doing a good job as Vice Kaptain, with less hyperbole, which is refreshing.

[@KaplanCycles]

Gonna hyperbole to the max

[@gregbishop3167]

Great looking. I had the 83 and the 85 in their day. Awesome bikes.

[@johnchopp3278]

I had an 81 CR125. What a rippa!

[@superzuki5831]

That bike sounds as strong as it looks. I'll take a bike like that over a new one any day!!!

[@keithhawkins7039]

That top end sounded great!

[@ericdebisz9458]

Total magic. Awesome build

[@Mr10usdad]

Nice job I have a 1986 CR125.

[@あかたひろこ]

もう40年くらい前ですか、当時このCR125をちょっとしたモトクロスブームで購入しました。週末休暇のときよく川岸の堤防下とかモトクロス場に行きジャンプやウォッシュボードなど練習しました。当時を思い出してとても懐かしいです。

[@dustinlee1791]

I had a 1986 cr125 and it was best bike I had ever owned I fully restored it frame up and a guy came and gave me a rediculas offer and we'll unfortunately I sold it and I regret it ever since but I just got myself a 2004 cr125r and I hope it kinda brings back he feeling

[@The_Cat_Authority]

Lord have mercy!! What a freaking machine. I hope someday I'm half as cool as Kaplan America!!!!! :)

[@evan1kx125]

Cold weather has her running crispy!

[@markallen6818]

Reminds me of The Suzuki RM 125N that I had when I was a teenager.It was My first Motocross Bike and is still My Favorite Bike.If I had a good place to ride I would Love to have that Bike now.That CR sounds Great.

[@glenpiro313]

Good god man, talk about a freakin time machine. Capeway Rovers track was deluged with these as well as my own personal holy grail, the 1983 Kawasaki KX125, gold rims and numberplate rear fender alllllllll day. There were still plenty of yellow bikes too, I seem to recall a guy who ran the number 18 being kinda fast…….. But Eff Me Jr, brought me right back to NESC awesomeness

[@empiresrikesfat]

Saturday 8am in Australia 🇦🇺 Perfect timing

[@dogtownbrogers2796]

[@daves984]

I would never guess it was a 125 based off those go pro shots of acceleration up the driveway. That thing hauled ass

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

I had one back then. I loved it 😍

[@robbieporter1612]

Dam that thing pulls eh, nice, I think the older ones sound better for some reason and maybe it’s just me but they have instant rasp

[@VlogEpicness]

If I saw that thing I’d have to guess it was brand new 👌🏻

[@The_Cat_Authority]

Well it is. It was restored with NOS (new old stock) parts. So they are old, but still "new" and lots of parts have fresh powder coat on them. A very very nice machine!!

[@2WheeledPatinaThomasC]

Nice video Kenny. Pro 🤙

[@mikeday62]

I had a 2001 YZ125 and it was more fun then my 1993 KDX200.

[@danielarney9729]

Basket is brand new. Wonder if it's stock porting, or just ice cold gas and cold lean condition making it pony up.

[@brianrichard1768]

That thing lifting 3rd? Nice

[@markallen6818]

I had a Suzuki RM 125N and it would pull the front wheel on the ground through 3rd gear all day.I Loved mine and would still have it if I had a place to ride.

[@kennybeaudry7454]

Nothing like a 2stroke the best
