Way back in 2010 Mike found an MT125R on the market, “Sold directly by Honda via their dealer network, the MT125R was produced by Honda Racing Service Center (RSC) and made available to the general public. This was, for all intents and purposes, a true GP roadracer intended for closed-course competition. Randy Mamola got his start on a bike very much like this one.”
Then fast forward to 2023 and Mike found two, “Powered by 125cc two stroke engines, the MT125R was meant to be a rung on the ladder for racers looking to turn pro in the bigger classes. Offered for only a couple of years (1977-1978) but officially imported into North America as a off-road only motorcycle, finding one MT125R is a rarity…
The beating buzzing heart of the MT125R is a single 123cc cylinder featuring air cooling and a single carb. You’d be forgiven if you thought this looks like most of Honda’s single cylinder, small-bore engines – and you’d also be correct. The MT125R is essentially a CR125 Elsinore motor, although in the earliest builds the MT had specific engine part numbers that were unique to the model; in the later incarnations, they utilized common CR parts in a shared arrangement. The only real difference between the CR and the MT was the shift pattern: The MT125R utilizes a road racing “reverse” shift pattern while the CR adopted the conventional one down, 5 up pattern in the common 6-speed box.”
We do not see these on the market very often.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
