If you have a pic of a rad 125 feel free to post it! I thought the vital revival yz125 was pretty sweet.

I stand corrected; Honda built a 5 cylinder 125 called RC148 the RC149 in 1965 and 1966 respectively.

Terry,was in the 80,s. Honda ran it i motogp and shoved it in a mx frame.

I think Eric goboers(sp) raced it once then fim band multi cylinders.

My memory bad??

Honda stopped making two stroke inline multis for road racing in 1967. Are you thinking of the RCV series?

I'm quoting here:

The Honda RC125M debuted at Suzuka in 1980 with Kenji Sato aboard, and had further outings in 1981 before the FIM stepped in and banned twin-cylinder bikes from international competition. A single cylinder version of the RC125M—once more with a Ribi front end—won the 1981 All Japan 125cc Motocross Championship in the hands of Yasuo Tofukuji.

That old 224 Yamaha is sporting some real exhaust porn. Those hand welded pipes are awesome on any smoker.
