Also, The White & Black Suzuki Road Racer at the end of he row next to our VJMC clubs sign (3 bikes to the right of our yellow 250 RM Suzuki)... was one of two bikes of it's Exact type in Existence and I was told by most everyone there that it was Pretty much "Priceless" !

( I have her listed for a Small fraction of what Top Blue Book Would Be (Please see details below). The N.A.D.A. Blue Book "Value Guide" for a real deal 1974 CR 125M is nearly $8,000.00 ..Also, Keep in mind.<..Again, This is a California Motorcycle which for Most any Classic car etc etc typically Brings considerably More money than the National Averages & being from Southern California makes Her More Collectable...Also, The 1977' MR 175 ELSINORE is said to be FAR Better Handling + Technically a little Better & a little More refined & Vintage Racing Competitive version of the MT 125 etc Enduro HONDA Elsinore as compared to a 1973 -74 MT 125 or 175 Enduro HONDA ELSINORE...I believe this to be ..a Very Spirited & I think should be a "A Potentially, Truly Competitive Vintage Racing bike" & I am offering this for a Small Fraction of that amount with a "Buy it Now" of only 1475 US dollars which may sound like a fair amount of money but consider this...."Earlier this year "Moto-Cross Action Magazine" did an Large Article on the slightly early ELSINORE CR125M & said the value at this time was something around $9,000.00 ! ! (& that is without any of the FAR SUPERIOR 1973 CR 250 Visual Conversion that was Magnificently done on this Beautiful 74 CR 125M tribute)...I have been told by many ELSINORE ENTHUSIASTS that This bike is better in several ways (as listed earlier)...Also, Recently, I have seen several of these bikes that were Very Beat & Very Faded Not much left of them & (totally UN restored) selling for FAR MORE $$$$ (nearly Double) than my Ridiculously Low Buy It Now Price" & again they were ALL UN (Not) restored, fairly Beat, Raw, UN-Cosmetically restored Without this Bikes New Top End (piston Cylinder / Carburetor intake manifold , New Front & rear Tires, New D.I.D. Dive Chain etc etc) & More importantly all were (NOT) Beautifully transformed to look like a STUNNINGLY CLASSIC 1974 CR 125M HONDA ELSINORE built from a 1977 HONDA ELSINORE 175MR Conversion. Here is some More GREAT NEWS ! ...I will be including the California Dept. of Motor Vehicles DMV Computer "Print Out" on this MAGIFICENT Vintage Racing HONDA 125MR that shows that this Vehicle is Free & Clear from any back DMV Fees etc etc & that there are NO back fees & NO back taxes & NO Back registration fees etc on this WONDERFUL Bike & I will be including the bill of sale I received from the prior owner & Also, a California DMV (Notarized) "Bill of Sale" from myself to You the new owner.. which from what I hear in states outside of California, should be what you need to register her. If you live here in Calif would like register this bike as a California Registered Street Bike Please feel free to email me & I will give you contact information the Agency MORENA's (Auto Registration) ENTERPRISES (562) 833-0674 & many Dealers in this area (MUSTANG COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL etc etc have been using them to Register all of our Vehicles here in Southern California ......if you live inside or outside of California. ... (IE) If you just want to Vintage Race or Vintage Show this bike at Vintage bike & car meets & Shows... the Notarized DMV "Bill of Sale" is all that you will need...Again, I will also include the California Department of Motor Vehicles Current DMV Computer Records "Print Out" on this Wonderful Bike that Shows & Proves that because this Beauty was in Covered Storage for the past Aprox. 2+ Decades (20+ years) & therefore any and all prior California registration if they were purchased many years ago & because of this * * Again, at this time are 100% OFF the DMV Computer System Which Again is a REALLY GOOD thing as this Proves... at this time this means there are No Current DMV Computer Records ("WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS" ! ) on this Wonderful bike & therefore there will be NO back fees and NO back taxes etc etc. on this Wonderful 1977' HONDA ELSINORE VINTAGE RACING 175MR ". Whether you live inside California or in any of the other 50 states & If you attend Vintage Bike Meets, Vintage Bike Races & Vintage Bike Shows etc the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" is what you will need. AGAIN, If you would like to register this bike here in California my Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for many years (the last 2 + Decades) 20+ years.. therefore if you live here in California & feel for what ever reason you want to make this a bike to ride on Government National Forest etc you can get "Off Road tags" on her... Again it will be Easy because this bike has been in storage for decades & Therefore, She is currently OFF the DMV Computer system etc etc & therefore there will be "NO back fees" (IE) as typically after about 10 years California DMV records "Fall Off" the DMV Computers) Again, this bike was intended by HONDA for both day & night Dirt Racing & therefore, again lic tags are not required for Vintage Bike Races Car & Motorcycle Shows & Events etc here in California etc.. & also keep in mind California street license or OFF Road Government National Forest Use tags are also not required if you live out of state etc etc etc) ..please feel free to email me or call me if you need me to clarify this any further. It looks like at one time someone may have used this as a street bike (maybe a previous owner may have used this up at their rural?? cabin etc area to go into town with or something???....last lic tags look to be from about 1978) Again, Lights Look GREAT & Appear to be all there & present but I have not tried them to see if they work Again this Wonderful 175'MR should still have her Stator Lighting Charging Circuit & YES ! the Light switches are on the handle bar etc if you are planning to use this as a street bike you need to add a approx. $5 brake light switch & horn etc. Again..This is a BEAUTIFUL 1974 CR 125 M ELSINORE "TRIBUTE" was made from a 1977 HONDA ELSINORE 175MR (Mainly Because a 77 MR 175 ELSINORE is said to be Improved over & above a 74 etc MT ENDURO Elsinore ! ).. (IE) FAR STRONGER GEAR BOX etc etc..This Beauty was just Now Cosmetically Restored (as detailed above & below) to look a lot more like a 1974 CR 125 M with LIGHTS... This GREAT (1974 Honda Elsinore CR 125M Vintage Race "Tribute" with lights Bike)....Just to get everyone up to speed I think this has 1974 ELSINORE Vintage Racing Bike Looks with With More Enduro like features + she has More Power & Better Suspension with her years of Cutting Edge "HONDA Racing Development"...a 1977 MR 175 is said to be refined + Stronger & MORE TROUBLE FREE Mechanically & Technically Better Suspension (most Suspension etc features of this bike are Much more like a 1974 HONDA CR 125M !!! & her HP etc is Mechanically Superior bike as compared to a 1974 etc Enduro Honda ELSINORE (as detailed below) ..Again, This beauty was just Now Freshly Cosmetically Restored as detailed below.) (She was Thoroughly Disassembled: Cleaned, refinished, re-upholstered her seat was REBUILT FROM THE FRAME UP !!! , ~Brand New front & Rear tire & Tube, + "HIGH QUALITY" good condition Alloy wheel Rims." Drive Chain etc etc) + She was Beautifully Visually converted from a 1977 MR 175 ELSINORE ..to look a lot like a 1973 -74 ELSINORE CR 125 M with Lights etc .(IE..that is why we are calling this a 1973 or 1974 CR 125M "Tribute") Please Note: Being that it has Vintage style Dual rear shocks & a HONDA 125 CR Dirt Racing + Air Cooled etc. I believe that it is one of the ~Last of the Original ELSINORE (Best Years) of the GREAT Vintage Racing Dual Rear Shock Honda CR 125M ELSINORE's Ever Made ! This Vintage Racing Capable bike has been finished to look a lot like a 1974 CR 125 M ELSINORE with LIGHTS etc , The GREAT News is ...Having a couple extra years of AMAZING "HONDA Development & Updating" & MORE IMPORTANTLY a FAR STRONGER FEAR BOX etc etc ...as this is a Technically FAR Superior Handling Racing Bike as compared to a 1974 CR 125M (IE) the 1975 VS the 77' HONDA ELSINORE MR 175 ... this 1977 is said to have Improved Front AND Rear Suspension Travel (with better Front Forks Gear Box + Longer Travel Dual rear Shock Struts) & even MORE Useable Horsepower than the "Ho Hum" Honda MT 125 & 175 Enduro ! ! ! Yet, She is Still a "Vintage Race-able" + ( PRE Reed Valve) Super SIMPLE Air Cooled engine & Dual Rear Shock Suspension ! *Again, This AMAZING Great Running Bike is a Dream with her AMAZING Balance & She Feels Very Light, Natural & Extremely AGILE ..This is a Vintage " WORLD CLASS" Dirt Racing Motorcycle ! As you see, she has an ORIGINAL 1973-74 HONDA CR 125M ELSINORE TUNED RACING "DOWN" PIPE ! ! ! .. She also has a more 1973 Elsinore style Front Fender & Mud Flap. Again this bike has so little use on her that she still has a Brand New Rebuilt FROM THE FRAME UP SEAT FOAM & COVER !! !! !! !! ORIGINAL 1977 HONDA 175MR Seat. We also rebuilt what looks to be the Original "HUGE" 1977 HONDA ELSINORE 175MR Carburetor, & Cleaned the Entire Fuel system & added a Quality Inline Fuel Filter & added a Brand New Air Cleaner,Also,The Front and rear suspension visually looked good & it's seals did not appear to be leaking at this time so other than to clean them & We Cleaned Polished the lower Alloy fork legs etc etc We are just now completing the visual restoration & conversion on this Beautiful Bike, Other than this...In Her Cosmetic restoration process..We took & disassembled most everything else on the bike...nearly all the way down to the "Bare Frame" + Cleaned & refinished most everything then hand reassembled almost everything back onto her frame piece by piece..

I have had a lot of emails with shipping quotes all over the map...Therefore, When you try and Get a Shipping Quote... I would try & get several shipping quotes before you commit or finalize a deal with a shipper as one of the last bikes I sold out of our collection went to North Carolina via USHIP.COM, (which is about 3,000 miles from here)...it was a 1975 YAMAHA 250 Enduro which weights about double of what this auctions Magnificent Vintage CR Honda Racing Beauty Weights & he was only charged about 350 dollars a few months ago...I would go thru Uship.com ...Keep in mind, I live very close to Los Angeles & the LA Harbor areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you. Also, I started the bike again today for the first time since we took her down for the restoration & she started on the second Kick !!!!!!!!!!!!! She also Idled down Very Nicely & Ran like a Top (She Ran AMAZINGLY GREAT !!!!) as mentioned earlier in the auction the kick starter seems to work OK but it looks like it has had some kind of a minor repair or may have been adapted from another similar bike??..The main thing is " it works", & is Very Capable to Start the bike & seems to look fairly Normal for this bike. Again, If you need a shipper I would get Lots of Quotes (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM as the rates will vary widely (IE) as a trucker that is already here in Los Angeles Area & is already planning on going your direction will be a lot different rate than someone that is not already here & is not going in your direction...Also, please remind the company you are getting the quote from that "This bike is Very Light I would estimate she ONLY weights about 170 to 190 Pounds" ? (It is Not a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be far cheaper & Should reflect that difference. Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Based Shippers Distribution yard for "FREE" or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard for you.
