trace.trimble Started a new thread 2001 Plano Honda Project
4/19/2020 4:35pm A neighbor was moving, and had an old dirtbike they didn't want to move. They asked if I wanted it, and of course I said yes. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a CR125, and rolled it home planning to sell it as is or part it out. I ride and race harescrambles on a KTM 300, so...

4/15/2020 3:04pm This bike is currently in a few boxes in my garage. I tore it down to a rolling chassis, and split the cases about a year ago, and then it went to the back burner. Crank was rusted but looks savable. I have been working through my unfinished projects during the quarantine, and this one is up next. I'm planning...

1/28/2019 12:26pm What things are missing? I will be having the crank rebuilt unless there is a nasty surprise waiting for me in the case.

I think what he means is that his bike has #42 and you're showing Gio's bike with #716. Ivan Tedesco was #42 in 2001, so maybe it's his bike with Gio's shock on it.

1/18/2019 9:24am What about the different race number? So what might this thing be worth all cleaned up and running well? Anyone know if the crank, rod, or piston were anything but OEM Honda parts?

1/17/2019 4:17pm Couple more details. I was told that if it has a VIN, it's not a race bike. This has a VIN, but maybe some other details say otherwise? Skid plate mounts are welded to the frame, it has the orange insulation on the hoses, and Gio Tedesco's name on the shock reservoir. https://imgur.com/UrVfVst https://imgur.com/bwISZTn https://imgur.com/u9PRLdc

1/17/2019 5:25am Yeah it has a skid plate. The cylinder looks like the fiche for the 2001, but I'll compare it to the 99. Thanks.

Here is the best I can do for you to get your research started: Call Al Lambs service dept. and ask the manager if Steve Wagner is still running his small shop. Mr. Wagner owned Plano Honda and worked to make that team happen. His shop was off a country road near Boyd (if I remember). He had a lot of Plano nostalgia in his shop and told me stories of his racing days. So, yea start with looking him up and he might even put you in touch with an old school Plano mechanic who might have a tip...

Actually, try reaching out to David Pingree, he was on that team, he would recognize if this a practice bike or just a kit.

1/15/2019 1:45pm First questions: 1. I pulled the topend off last weekend, and the motor appears to be seized due to rusted main & rod bearings. The plating still looks great on the jug. Is there anything special about the crank, rod, or piston on this bike? Are they just standard '01 Honda parts? 2. What might it be worth when cleaned...
