1975 HONDA - Lot 48

1975 HONDA Type CB125K Serial number: 7021242 125 cm3 Collector's registration 8,798 € invoices 1 500 / 2 500 € The 125 category is certainly the one that reaches the most varied clientele, appealing as much to the young fanatic as to the motorist aware of the practicality of a real small motorcycle in urban traffic. In response to this difference in clientele, Honda markets two diametrically opposed 125 models: a single-cylinder (the 125 S) and a twin-cylinder (the CB 125). The CB 125 models K2 to K5 are of particular interest to younger customers, as they are typically Honda machines, the first to popularize racing engine speeds. The K5 model appeared in France in January 1972, starting with serial no. 5.006.800. This model has a new look. The fuel tank was redesigned in a single color, as were the air filter covers. Available colors are turquoise blue (blue-green metallic) and red. Equipment differences are as follows: -Separate speedometer and tachometer (red zone at 10,500 instead of 11,500 rpm). - Matte black upper T, handlebar stems and handlebar comodos. -Stop switch on front brake in addition to rear brake. -Saddle lock and helmet hooks. -Reflectors on each side of the front fork. - Side stand. -Electric starter. The mechanical differences are as follows: -Different carburetors - Gaskets on intake valve stems (exhaust only on models K2 to K4). Minor modifications to the cylinder head were introduced in 1974. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the usual restarts required to keep these machines in the collector's museum. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the customary restarts required by the immobilization of these machines in the collector's museum. 1975 HONDA Type CB125K Serial number: 7021242 125 cm3 Collector's registration 8,798 € invoices 1 500 / 2 500 € The 125 category is certainly the one that reaches the most varied clientele, appealing as much to the young fanatic as to the motorist aware of the practicality of a real small motorcycle in urban traffic.
