That 1986 CR 125 was a great bike. In 1991 I was double classing it on my brand new YZ 250 and on my brothers old 1986 CR 125. I still won my share of races on the 5 year old Honda ticking off quite a few guys on new 125's. Great power and it cornered so good.

It was only modded with Boyesen reeds and a PC pipe (which eliminated the stock ATAC chamber) and silencer and still could holeshot the new 125's.

What a beautiful machine!

Such a great bike, I loved my 86 and 87 CR125's. Mine never looked as good as that bike though, great job on the rebuild and have fun at the race!

If you ever want to sell, even though you live in some far away land, let me know....

Thanks guys, I thought you'd like it.
I have a PC pipe that does away with the ATAC but haven't tried it yet. I've fitted a rear disc like Mickey Dymond and Johnny O'Mara's bike also a V Force 3 (I know it's not vintage!) and 36mm carb so hopefully it will go well and stop!!
I've got a 1986 CR250 David Bailey replica in equal condition and I've just bought a 1986 CR500.
When I get back from England it's time to start work on the 500. Then I'll have the trilogy of 1986 MXdN dream team bikes.
I'll keep you al posted.

Thanks Newman and everyone else.
Lots of welding for the rear disc conversion, then re-welding then cut it off and re-weld again! Being English and living in Spain some things get lost in translation. Try explaining to some people that you want it done a certain way and done nicely can be very frustrating. I've had some help from good people along the way (that's ALL my friends) and some people who charge too much for a bad job (they are not my friends) but I got there in the end. Hopefully the 500 will be plain sailing! hahaha

Dirt bikes were made to be ridden, but If I were the owner of that machine, I'd be extremely conflicted with the idea of getting a spec of dirt on it. Beautiful!

Thanks Bernie.
Just watched the Unadilla pit walk (run) on vitalmx, looks interesting, more like an English track/soil.
NESC, I've used it at the last two VetsMXdN at Farleigh Castle, this year I've added the rear disc. I love building the bikes as much as riding and being that I'm not very fast am quite gentle on my bikes! lol

Thanks guy for the nice comments, it's appreciated.
I originally built the 1986 CR250 David Bailey replica as a show bike and this one to ride (as I prefer 125's)
I won't get used very much only really for the VetsMXdN as where I live in Spain there is no vintage racing going on. I have a 1990 125 that I use in the winter as it's too hot here in the summer to do anything.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the highjack.

Here's Mike Bells bike for the VMXdN. We've just finished restoring it with lots of trick parts and Ti nuts and bolts.

Hey Kieth:

We are thinking about coming to Farleigh this year. Which airport should we fly into and how would you recommend we get there. Would a rental car be the best way?
