Hey everyone, I am building a 125 honda road racer and was wondering what are common modifications for these little thumpers?

Hi Frogger, good to hear that another one is in the pipeline.
I will endeavour to establish contact and will try to guide you in the right direction.
It is, of course, only limited by how much you wish to spend.
Mine started off at $500 and is now over $3,000 and not over yet.
Will be in touch.
Cheers, John |

Sounds good, keep us posted.
Further down the forum we have a dedicated 125 place. Sacred ground!
Perhaps that would be an appropriate place to keep things chugging along.

| I wonder if a class which caters for 125cc fourstroke singles of any configuration, as well as 'underbones' would get up? |

| Allan, that idea is unlikely to fly, besides 4 stroke 125s is superlite, underbones are motolite under bra rules. You've got a class |

| Why doesn't 125 P4 run under BRA motolite rules at historic meetings? Don't we need the extra entries, or are you simply paranoid about being made to look stupid by Chinese pit bikes ? |

Al, there are no Chinese pit bikes in historic racing.
Unfortunately BRA rules killed the 125 4 strokes in seeking parity with 2 strokes.
It would have been far better if they had separated them right at the start and left the 4 strokes at 125cc.
That way we could have had a much stronger representation at historic meetings. |

| Most of the Chinese pit bikes have motors based on the Honda CT110 - the most prolific bike of the sixties - frames are not hard to make. |
