had one of these super little bikes CB125J in orange as per the video - if i remember correctly mine was an R Reg - had the bike in 1982-3 and rode it to work for 2 years, never missed a beat. As usual one of many bikes i have had that i wished i had never got rid off. lol.
Nice bike, i am in the process of restoring one too. One advice, do not pull on the seat when lifting the bike on the center-stand, there's a grab bar just underneat for that purpose. I've seen too many bend seat frames because of that. I've seen loads of bend center-stands because people sit on the bikes while the centerstands are out.
I had one just like this, on the Surrey/Sussex border, in the late '70s. Very reliable, but I kept having to adjust the chain, and the power was disappointing after my previous CB250G5. Fun to see and hear again. Mine had a white topbox, and ugly crash bars to protect the engine.
@@mcracknell1 I'm amazed any of that model survived this long - to me, it was a cheap 'bike. Curiously, parked right outside the main door of my local Tesco tonight was a modern version, with part-fairing. The engine block looks remarkably unchanged. Of course, 125 is the highest cc a learner can ride these days, so they've made it sporty-looking.
I have a 1979 one but with wiring chewed by rats I haven't got it going yet after I put new piston in and a cylinder rebore, I think maybe I wired the rectifier wrong but not sure.
I just purchased a SYM (the company that designed the CB for Honda) Its called SYM wolf 150 classic. Pretty much an 85% replica of your bike. I love it.
Mainly cosmetic changes, removal of gators and steel shrouds on the forks for more modern look, front disc brake, bars were shallower. I also restored one, orange like in the video originally. When it came to the paint job I was unable to source original decals at the time so went for racing colours instead with the classic Honda "Wing" logos on the tank. Next best thing to original and looked quite cool. Mine was also a P reg.
The "S" model was produced from 1971 to 1975 and was replaced in 1976 by the "J" model (the US bikes retained the S designation). The newer model sported a two piece head, 124 cc (7.6 cu in) displacement, and a larger carburettor. Info from Wiki...
Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories.
My dad had this bike. My dad gave it to me when I went to college.
Passed my test on one same colour my cousin had. A blue one never. Let me down!😅

So beautiful! My first bike in the seventies... Thanks for sharing this pretty noise... ;-)
I had an identical looking bike back in 1980. Great little bike and a step up from my FS1E.
Nice machine !
I cannot wait to finish restoring my '78.

Beautiful! It's nice that you didn't get the "hack it up and make a cafe racer" bug.
Much too nice to cut up! Cannot be many left in this condition and worth preserving

Hi nick, i picked this one up from a gent in Camberwell, London - hadn't seen another like it, in that good condition. Now sold to a collector :(

How does the cb125j differ from the cb125s?
