can you imagine going out to the local track and just roosting the 450f's with that thing. On a local level Im sure it would still be competitive, I am a firm believer that the 2 stroke is the best all around moto weapon!!!!

seems the first 125 Elsinores hit N TX in late July / early August of 73', and were gone before the tires could warm showroom floors. the next batch came through around late September.
It's the right-side engine cover... it houses the water pump and oil filler.
A piece broke off on my original one and the bike is now stuck in 1st gear.
If anyone knows where i can find this part, please let me know!
Thank you,
Marc
the 86 cr125 was a lot better then the 87. better suspension and better powerband, stock.
even after tuning both the engine and the suspension, it still wasn't as good. and modified, the 86 kicked the shit out.
my modified 125 for 86 ponca had the engine tuned by Donnie Emler, and he put a cr250 silencer on it!
thing sounded like no 125 anyone ever heard.
:-)
anyway, just agreeing.
very disapointed with both 87 and 88 cr125s.
A buddy of mine who was constantly beating me, later in the year sold me his used 87' CR250 with a blown crank for under $1K. He went out and bought a new 88' CR250, and I replaced the crank in the 87' and proceeded to beat his ass on his old bike.
He regretted selling the 87' to me, but I loved the thing. Handled great, awesome power, and had the best set of forks that I had ever ridden.
I turned around in 89' and bought a new 89' CR250 and the suspension sucked ass on that bike. I wish I had kept that 87'.
This is the very same bike before Scott Steger worked his magic. Shown here be ridden by Tom Carson on the Legends lap at HP.
I never owned a 1987 CR250....I had a 1986 CR500 that was just awesome...too awesome actually for me. I traded it in on a 1989 CR250. What a pile that was....first year USD forks that could not be modded to work for crap. The first race I ran on the 89 was at Sunset Ramblers in Galion, Ohio. I got the holeshot, then on the first double a guy jumped into me and wadded both of us up. My bars were pretzeled and so was I. It was an omen. Should have just left the bike there.

Most recent picture.
I planning to make nice a work's replica of mine, so last week I picked up a Honda racing
ignition cover on ebay, and now I'm a little curius on that Mugen cylinder you have, are they hard to get.
This one is a 1985 cylinder ( last year they made it) without the powervalves.
So I took out the powervalve system in the engine.
I usually rebuild CR500's but I got this one for almost nothing.
One of these these I have the alu subframe ready for this one..
The bike is for sale btw..because after I rebuild bikes, I sell them to continue rebuilding other ones.
Do I like riding too? Yes...I like riding my CR500AF.
How is the powerband like
The powerband hits more as on the regular 250. Consider it a small 500.
I loved my 1987 cr125. Here is a pic of it in action in the 125 junior class mullet and all!
