"Here is my 1974 CR125 done up like a mugen kit. Special honda GP 125 cylinder, webco head, aluminum swingarm, works performance shocks, coned up pipe from nobby toledo, seat cover with mugen graphics came from england. The mugen emblem on the seat and tank is their logo that stands for "unlimited power."

WOW, that is sweet!
Excellent Job there Mike, Back in those days I was TM loyal but still get a chubby when I see a nice Vintage CR, especially a Mugen !
Awesome bike Mike, would love to see more photo angles of that masterpiece,
Well done Mike!!! Thats sweet!! Need more pics.
@rg807 - my thoughts exactly.
I still remember the crackle of the stock silencer of the up pipe on the '73 Elsinore. A local pro bought one and used to practice where my brother and I rode his XR-75.
1974 CR125 was my dream bike(never got one). I had to settle for a 1975 TM125, put a "git kit" on it and broke my first collarbone. A friend got a 1976 CR125. 6-speed gear box and all red!
I had two of these, my 2nd & 3rd mx bikes. Moved up rear shocks & extended travel front, radial heads, everything fire engine red. One had Honda's GP jug/carb kit. Other had a 100cc kit from Honda's back door (only prob was NO displacement stamp where stocker & gp jugs said 123cc). Never had an edge like that bike ever again. Totally honest handling, light as hell. Not sure a bike was ever THAT much better than everything else ever again. For two years you were on a Cr125 or you were getting lapped. The CR100 was just unfair. Like clubbing baby seals. Guess thats why they banned it. Like to think Ibsomething to with that in District 11.. :)
Awesome, thanks.
Fantastic Bike, also my dream bike as a kid, the nicest one I have seen !
What I'd give to have my 74 back. First bike to initiate me to the term E.R. Room.
I saw one in 76 or so, Spring Valley MX, just outside of Clyde, Tx. sure brings back memories
Maybe 78 or 79, damn I'm old
