Just finished up this little CB-125 that my buddy was going to get rid of. It came in 4 cat litter boxes and seemed impossible. Month and a half later it's cruisin'. Monster-truck tires, twisted pipe, rear tubing bent and hammered in a backyard bonfire. Thanks to Casey up here at G&H cycles of Moto-Galore, Jim for selling the bare-bones dirt cheap, and random luck finding parts. It's a fun bike to turn heads on the way to the corner market or coffee spot, while taking a break from the bigger ride.

That bike is sweet.
I'd rather see that around other than those mission kids on a puch.

Man, that thing looks fun to ride. Would be a blast to blip around town on it. Good stuff.

adam... pretty crazy detail on a small scale.

pipe close to spokes is spot on.

love the rubber - well the whole bike. anyone know the specs on those monster truck tires? i've got a cb200 gathering dust in my kitchen that could use similar treatment.

thanks for this!

I think I saw this up in NoPo a week or so ago. Looks awesome and sounded sweet to boot! Nice work.

So freaking sweet! I've been trying to find a CB125 for a decent price for a year now. Not super-sexy, but fun as hell to ride.

that bike is SICK! not gonna lie, i love to ride my girlfriend's cb100 around the neighborhood. shit is soooo fun.

Way cool. A buddy mine loves these things. He puts BIG rear sprockets on them and they are scary fast up to about 45mph. Which is about all you need in the shitty city. Popping wheelies is fun, if you're expecting it...

W.O.W...!!
Surely Fun machine to ride, just like my daily ride a CB125..put a late models gearbox, give a big bore around 200cc then you'll reach 60-70mph in an easy blast...
