The cr 125 in the picture was one I owned before selling it to my friend, Tim, and fellow racer who showed up to my house at 9:00 pm one evening to purchase the bike. He fired it up and rode it up and down the street to test ride it ringing it out the whole time. I thought my neighbors we going to be upset with me! After that, he would come and see me at my work, where we would sit and bench race about the coming weekends supercross. Tim rebuilt it and raced it for about a year before unexpectedly passing away. I thought the bike was gone till my family and I went to his memorial race where his bikes were being sold. I bought it just to bring it home and let it sit until my son want to ride it. Now, he wants to race it so, this bike has turned into a rebuild project for us both.

I was tearing into the motor, took this pic, and sent it to my friend Rmartin517 here on vital. He sent me a message back, 'lucky dog it's got a 139 kit!' No wonder why my kid likes it!

I tried calling Eric Gorr to see if Tim had it done to run pump gas or race gas, but they changed over their computer system and couldn't find it to tell me.
