CB125 Twin question
Does anybody know if the CB125 twins were ever made with a 'leccy foot?

Re: CB125 Twin question
Thinking more, the later one with the electric start and 12v electrics is the CB125TDC, there was also a custom CM version, built from maybe 1982. |

The 1970s/1980s CB12xT (unrestructed versions, using a tuned Benly engine) did nothave an electric start. The later CB125T Super Dream (detuned version of above, with monoshock rear end) did. hth -- K1100LT 955i 750SS CB400F CD250 CM200 SL125 GAGARPHOF#30 GHPOTHUF#1 BOTAFOT#60 The bells, the bells..... |

We're talking early 70s onwards here so I doubt that the CB92 figured. -- Morini Corsaro 125 | CB450 K4 | XL250 Motosport x2 | 900SSD Triump Thunderbird chop | K1100LT BOTAFOF #33 The UKRMC FAQ: http://www.unixconsult.co.uk/bike/ukrmcfaq.html |

OK, in which case there was a 125 twin that looked like a sleeved down CB175 (because it was). Very. very rare here, but reasonably common on the Continent. The final models looked like sleeved down CB200s (because they were). Yes, electric start. -- K1100LT 955i 750SS CB400F CD250 CM200 SL125 GAGARPHOF#30 GHPOTHUF#1 BOTAFOT#60 The bells, the bells..... |
