Honda CR 125 1996. I bought this bike around 2 months ago with a full engine rebuild off a mate, the state of it now is that it is in pieces on my workshop bench! The bike cost me £750 which to be fair wasn't a bad price, after riding the bike, I was not impressed with the bottom end power atall! There was not too much to say about the mid and top either. I rode the bike for a month with the intension of selling it very soon. Unfortunately this will now not happen for a while as after 3 rides it decided to seize. I am aware of the fact that 2 strokes do require regular engine rebuilds when ridden hard, but from a recent rebuild it should not require this after 3 soft rides! Overall I would not recommend this as I have been riding for many years and this has to be the worst that I have owned! Totally unimpressed with power and reliability!
