Cool pic. I love all the stories behind pics like this. Matthes is pretty good about drawing them out of people on his podcasts. Maybe he can ask James about it sometime.

These were from when JS was testing the Honda prior to re-upping with Kawi. I believe it was 01?

I would love to see what Bubba can do on the current factory Honda.

Dang, that's pretty crazy to think about. How the heck did he do that in the first photo, the rear rim is touching the ground!

So awesome, love seeing stuff like this. I doubt Bubba would have done any better on a CR than he did on that works KX, but it's cool to think about.

dude would have been way more injured if he had rode the cr125 back then, for sure

The stock bike was a slow piece of shit, I'm sure the Factory bike was pretty competitive...

That would have been expensive having both of them under the same tent. I sure as hell wouldn't want to have to write those checks...phew!

If I recall, the Kawi wasn't any faster. They (Kawi & Honda) were the turds of the 125's back then.

What I find strange about these pictures is that they put his number on the bike. Normally they don't do that until the rider is signed for obvious reasons.

TLD Honda did the same thing for Chad Reed when he tried their bike at the end of 2010. For the sake of a set of backgrounds, I'm surprised more teams don't do it.

Really? Looks like an 02 or 03 to me? Thought the 2000 and 2001 frame was a lot boxier...
