1981 Honda Cr 125r Review

[1981cr125]

Hi,

I am 16 and have been learning, I just finished rebuilding my dirtbike top to bottom with a little kinks to work out. It is a 1981 honda cr 125r, first year of the liquid cooled. I was wondering If there was any problems with the first liquid and anything I should watch out for? And also if any one ever owned this bike please post what you thought of it. I figured I am going to rebuild the bike to new anyways, why not get a oldie.

Thanks in advance
- Ryan

the only thing that i can remeber about those bikes is the large exhaust port tends to swallow pistons. They did overheat quickly aswell. Otherwise, awsome bikes !!!

I was wondering if they were collector bikes or not. I notice becuse it was the first cr 125r and the first liquid.

Thanks Ryan
