OVERVIEW
For 1990, the CR125R is going to lead the pack with more raw power than ever hefore. Honda's exclusive Power Port system (H.P.P.TM) and a newly designed expansion chamber give the CR125R a significantly wider powerband. Like the CR5OOR and CR250R, the CR125R comes armed with rigid 45 mm inverted cartridge type front forks. There's even a new graphics scheme. When it comes to a race-ready dirt bike, the CR125R is tough to beat.

OVERVIEW
The CR125R shares a lot with its CR250 big brother: multiple championships, state-of-the-art tech and, best of all, the knowledge that it has no equals when it comes to 125cc two-strokes. Could it be the mind-boggling power? The super-light weight? The tack-sharp handling? Or maybe all of the above? Why not throw your leg over one -- and then decide for yourself.
