1975 HONDA Type CB125K Serial number: 5051248 125 cm3 8 878 € invoices Collector's registration 1 500 / 2 500 € After starting out in 1946 with motorized bicycles, in 1958 Soïchiro HONDA presented the C77, a 250 twin-cylinder 4-stroke. In 1960, this motorcycle was followed by a 125 version, the CB92. The CB92 continued its career until 1967, when the CB, SS and CD 125 models appeared, which, like their predecessors, remained faithful to a stamped sheet-metal balance fork. After the CB 92 came the CB 93 (1964/1965), a transition from the K0 to the K1 (the names K and K1 are not official; the official name for these two models with different engines is simply CB 125, and the first to be named K was the K2). The CB 93 is the first model in the 125 range to abandon the pressed-plate balance fork in favor of a telescopic fork. With the CB 93, HONDA found a personal style for its 125 sports bikes that would last until the JX. In 1969, HONDA replaced its top-of-the-range 125 with the CB 125 MK2, a resolutely sporty model with 15hp at 11500 rpm, a top speed of 123 km/h, and a fifth gear. In 1975, HONDA tried to rejuvenate its image with the JX 5 (also known as the B6) version of its Twin, but apart from the introduction of disc brakes and a modernized look, it was more expensive than its competitors and still lacked performance. In 1975, the response was the CB 125 Twin. The restoration was carried out by specialist CM Auto-Service in 2016 for €8,878.
