Your Collection: 1979 CR125

This weeks collection comes to us from Mike Varsava in Canada

I bought a new 1979 CR125 when they originally came out. When I recently saw this barn find, I had to have it. It needed engine seals, a clutch, top end, chain, sprockets, grips, levers and a good bath. The tank, plastic, seat and fork boots are all original. The tires appear to be original as well. I repainted the shock bodies. The bike sounds and runs great.

I share these photos to celebrate our hometown moto-hero Cole Thompson who is railing himself a pro career in AMA MX.

Thanks

Mick Varsava
