Well I have decided to thin out my collection of Red Racers. I wanted to let the guys on this forum have first shot at what I have collected over the last 10 or so years. I have gotten rid of some performance parts now I am starting with complete and running bikes If interested please email me.

Honda CR 125M Elsinore. This bike has a straight frame with no cracks or additional welds other than factory welds. About 4 years ago I had the frame and swing arm blasted and powder coated. I installed improved tapered steering head bearings along with new swing arm bushings. This bike has a stock motor other than a Mikuni carb and wieco piston (Std. bore). The bike has Renthal bars, Whirlpool throttle, terry cables, Clarke RC replica tank, twin air filter. Near new VMX plastic panels & fenders. I left the decals on some of the products I use. Tires are used front is less worn. Sprocket and chain are slightly used. Fox seat cover was custom made and has a small rip under side near and hidden by the tank. The bike has a DG pipe used and has some dents. Pipe was welded ounce on the neck. Bike runs fine with the DG pipe. This bike shows very well (check out the pictures) bike runs very well. Bike can be a show bike or ridden as is, I get a lot of compliments on this bike which is very clean and could easily be a good bike for a complete restoration with OEM equipment. The frame does not have the build tab. I believe I have it and it’s a 1978. 1976 to 1978 were the same bikes. I call this a 1976 because that was the first year for the red racer.

Nice bike, Flash!

Didn't you have different shocks and swing arm on that once upon a time? I seem to recall some pictures here a while back of that bike w/different rear suspension.
