Hi all,
Im just after buying a 1984 cb125 superdream for my son. I was just wondering if there is anything specific to look out for (mechanics in particular) for these bikes. Thanks, Aria Last edited by aria; 12th February 2018 at 01:29 PM. |

Not a bad little bike to start off on, definitely low on power compared to modern 125's at 12 hp, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I'm currently restoring it's bigger brother, the 250N and am impressed with the build quality, if the miles on the 125 are north of 30K, things do begin to wear out, otherwise they're fairly reliable, but it's really down to how a 34 year old bike has been treated over the years and learner bikes do tend to get a hard life, but just about every conceivable spare can be found here :-
https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/...ER-DREAM-1984/ As a matter of interest, is it an original Irish bike with brown book and old reg number, or has it being imported at some time ?. |

[QUOTE=Rainman;3521225]Not a bad little bike to start off on, definitely low on power compared to modern 125's at 12 hp,
Wouldn't it be the other way around, powerwise? Current 125's are a max of 12 bhp, older 125s were "allowed" to be more powerful. So a CB125 twin could be as much as...15 whole BHP, which would make it a mahoosive 25% more powerful than a new 125....... ![]() Still not a patch on a proper 2 stroke, unrestricted 125, though. |
