Which is how Most Race cars, Race Bikes, Show & Display Bikes etc etc (Vehicles that are NOT intended for street use & or on use on National Forestry Land, Government Owned Desert Land etc etc) Keep in mind this is a VINTAGE Moto-Cross Race Bike that is intended for use on Private Moto-Cross Race Courses etc etc) so normal DMV paperwork is a "moot point" (un necessary).(IE) This Bike was Originally Designed & intended by HONDA to race on Privately Owned Professional Moto-Cross Tracks. Therefore, Again MotoCross Racing Bikes being used on privately owned Race Bikes Typically get transferred from owner to owner.. with a "NOTARIZED" California DMV "Transfer of Ownership" Form which I will have NOTARIZED & will provide for the new owner upon funding of this Wonderful Bike.If you live in Calif. & if you for some reason want to get a Off Highway Green Sticker for the use of this bike on Government Desert land or something? (which this bike was never intended to be used on) ?? Please email me & get a response back BEFORE you purchase this bike...again (this should not effect this bike if you live out of state) or again as long as this is used on PRIVATELY Owned etc Moto Cross Tracks or Classic Car & Vintage Cycle Events etc etc all should be good .....I intended this bike to be a "Man Cave Display Bike" Or "Classic Car or Vintage Motorcycle Event" ..."Display Bike" Or Film / Commercial Film Production Display Bike.. * * * The N.A.D.A. Blue Book "Value Guide" for a Nice Example of a Vintage 1973-74 CR 125M HONDA ELSINORE is Nearly $8,000.00 & Motorcycle Action Magazine thought a Nice 1973 or 74 CR 125M was worth ~$9,000.00 or ~$10,000.00 ....Even a SUPER UGLY all faded orange 77 NADA.com Value Guide Blue books for nearly double what my buy it now price is...(.& YES! as you can see..WE WERE ABLE To Fix the Looks of the 1976-77 all orange appearance problems ) a ugly orange 1977 CR 125 (1976's were basically a Very GREAT "VINTAGE RACING" Bike with Very UGLY Orange paint) Again would NADA Value Guide for Well Over DOUBLE of My Ridiculously Low buy it now would be for this bike..(So YES ! ...If you will notice my Buy it Now is a small fraction that !!! & Good Luck finding a Vintage Racing CR 125M HONDA ELSINORE in this price range that looks anywhere near as Nice as This Wonderful Bike.. especially one that has so low Hours on her & with the PROVIDENCE of her twin brother being in the "Largest Motorcycle Show On EARTH" in the Prestigious VJMC Clubs Booth !!!!!!!..Also, Keep in mind.This is a "Native Southern California" Motorcycle which for Most any Classic Vehicle etc etc typically Brings considerably More money than bikes from other parts of the country & makes Her "FAR MORE COLLECTIBLE"...Also,This is the Very Last Year that Honda Made these CR 125M's with the 1973-1977 Factory TUNED low Exhaust Pipe Provided as you would also see on a 1973-77 CR 125M & I believe this may be the last year of the "ORIGINAL" Piston Port PRE-REED Engines !!! Which Makes this FAR More Vintage Race-able as this again I think this was the Very last year of the Piston Port Induction AMAZING Air Cooled HONDA ELSINORE CR 125M "VINTAGE RACER" !!! & I believe these CR 125M to be ..a Very Spirited & I think should be a "A Potentially, Competitive Vintage Racing bike" & I am offering this for a Small Fraction of that amount with a "Buy it Now" (Believe it or Not)...of well under 3K US dollars which may sound like a fair amount of money but consider this...." Everyone I have talked to as (Well as N.A.D.A. Value Guide) states that a Really Nice CR 125M would sell for well over DOUBLE that Amount !! ..Also, Recently, I have seen several of these bikes that were Very Beat & Very Faded (& Typically Totally run into the Ground...Not much left of them) ...TOTALLY UN-LIKE THIS AMAZING BEAUTY was just had a cosmetic Restoration had done to her) selling for MORE $$$$ than my Ridiculously Low Buy It Now Price" & again they were ALL UN (NOT) Beautifully Cosmetically Restored like this wonderful Bike, & NOT having almost Brand New tires, New seat etc. etc. etc etc. & again most bikes I have seen in this bikes price range.... looked to be (VERY):Faded (red & orange are of THE Easiest colors to Fade & to Break down with UV) they looked Beat, Raw, UN-Cosmetically restored or Rebuilt etc..& More importantly all were UN-(NOT) Beautifully transformed to look like as Nice & Overall were just in no where near As GREAT a Shape as this Beauty! & don't forget this Wonderful bike was in covered Storage for the better part (the Bulk) of it's life (Well Over. 25+ years !!!!!!) & you will be the First New Owner since her Wonderful cosmetic restoration & This Beauty was Stored for many years (~25+years).She has a Brand New Rebuilt Engine Top End ("BRAND NEW"; PISTON, RINGS, Rod Bearing, Wrist pin Clips, Gaskets etc etc & YES! She Has "HUGE COMPRESSION" + GREAT Spark+ She Runs GREAT & Shifts AMAZING & Her Clutch & Her Brakes etc All Grip GREAT ! !...as detailed in this auction. More Cosmetic Restoration details:This Vintage Racing 1973 -74 HONDA ELSINORE CR 125M "Tribute" that was made from a 1977 HONDA CR 125M ELSINORE.. (really the Biggest Difference between a 1973 & a 1977 CR 125 is the Suspension has been Extremely Upgraded from HONDA) !!! She has an upgraded Aftermarket CR 125M "TUNED RACING" Low Pipe Exhaust... & Her Seat was REBUILT From The FRAME UP !!!. We also Cleaned the Entire Fuel system & added a Quality Inline Fuel Filter, & "We Installed The VERY BEST "MODAL" Trans Mission Oil". The Front and rear suspension visually looked good & it's Suspension seals did not appear to be leaking at this time so other than to clean them & refinished the lower Alloy fork legs , shock etc etc etc (IE) as far as fluid levels etc. they are just as we received them and we have not tested the suspension as we are just now getting the Bike Running again & completing the cosmetic restoration on this Beautiful Bike, Again, We Purchased this & the other pictured Wonderful bike for a Static Display in our VJMC Clubs Booth at the "WORLDS LARGEST M/C Show On EARTH" We did a Very Nice cosmetic Restoration on her..However Again, at the last minute the show restricted our bikes from 11 to 10 & so being nearly identical only one of our 1973-4 CR 125M tribute bakes made it into the show. The two bikes were identical other than the paint color on the number panels and the blue painted springs. ..In Her Cosmetic Restoration process..We removed most Every Main Component on the bike...nearly all the way down to her "Bare Frame" + Cleaned & refinished most every main component then hand reassembled ~every main item back onto her frame again "Piece by Piece".. She has I believe an Original 125cc HONDA ELSINORE fuel Tank with 1973 Style HONDA ELSINORE Graphics that was extremely clean & Dent free on her outside (as You should be able to see in the included pictures) we repainted her & put Nice 1973 Style Graphics & she looks just like a 1973-4 CR 125M HONDA ELSINORE & added Brand New "VINTAGE" 1973-4 HONDA ELSINORE Tank Graphic's were just installed. We also cleaned, painted & refinished Her; Frame, Hubs, Spokes, Exhaust Pipe (Tuned Exhaust system) & Her Upgraded Aftermarket "RACING DOWN PIPE" HONDA CR 125 Down Pipe Exhaust System. We repainted her Nice more 1973 style paint work on her Original Front fender & her Original Honda rear fender etc.& we painted everything to match to a look very close to what I think a 1973-74 Vintage RACING CR 125M Tribute Built from a 1977 CR 125 ELSINORE Race bike should look like & or would have looked NEW like back in the day ! . We installed Brand New High Quality Vintage style rubber handlebar Hand Grips. Her Transmission Gears Shift GREAT, Her Clutch Releases & Grips GREAT !!! & her Brakes work well ..PLEASE NOTE: She is just coming out of a many (25+) year Dry Storage Important thing is the Clutch does Grip GREAT !. She has BRAND NEW Gear Box OIL "MODOL" which is said to be the Very Best Gear Transmission Oil you can get) She has her Original Fork Tube Rubber Seals, She has almost "BRAND NEW" looking Vintage style MotoCross Racing handlebars. Unlike most dirt bikes this Beauty, Her down pipe Looks GREAT ! Please Note: She Still has Her Original Factory HONDA ELSINORE Side Stand & She has updated Brand New Clutch & front Brake levers have also been updated as were her AMAZING almost NEW High Quality Front & Rear Tires also.. Her foot pegs, Shifter Lever, Clutch, Brakes, kick Starter Levers All seems to Look & work GREAT & do not appear to have any real noticeable wear & or damage to them .. : * * PLEASE NOTE: We are just completing her Brand New cosmetic Restoration (as detailed above etc)...& "YOU" can be the Very First Owner of this Beautiful Bike since this was completed ! If you are looking for a 100% Perfect bike ...Please do everyone involved with this auction a big favor & Please look elsewhere as...I built this to be a Vintage Race Bike NOT a 100 point CONCOURSE SHOW Bike !...Again, If you are looking for a 100% stock or 100% Perfect concourse etc etc bike than this is not the bike for you & please do everyone a favor & please look elsewhere ..as this is a Wonderful 1973 CR 125M HONDA ELSINORE "Tribute" Bike Built from a 1977 HONDA ELSINORE CR 125M Vintage Racing bike & if you are some kind of Concourse bike collector & or, are some kind of "Super Nit Picker" & or a near impossible to please collector type etc etc. Please, do us both a favor & Please do not bid or email me on this Magnificent Motorcycle.She is a Beautiful 1973-4 CR 125M tribute & is technically about the Very Best of Both Worlds (IE) World Class 1973 -74 Raw Beauty & Paint work (these were said to be one of the very Most Beautiful Dirt Racing Bikes Ever Built !!! & being made from a 1977 HONDA ELSINORE She has nearly "Twice As Much Suspension travel as a 1973 CR 125" !!! & more than any Original series Piston Port Vintage race-able 1973-74 & 75 CR 125 HONDA ELSINORE !!! (& Best of all She is not all Ugly faded red/orange..& keep in mind..No color Fades as Badly as Red/Orange) ...Again, Most Vintage Racers would say this is the very Best of Both Worlds 1973 CR LOOKs & 1977 Suspension + Stronger Chassis & a Better Power Band !!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, would be something Better Suspension wise than a 1973-74 or 75 CR 125M ELSINORE & "FAR More Beautiful" than a ugly faded orange 1977 HONDA CR 125M ELSINORE !!!!!!!!!!! & Most enthusiasts feel these Early 1973-1976 CR's have much Better Balance & Natural Stability than the taller & Far more top heavy later CR 125's ....Again, if you truly need a perfectly 100% Stock Concourse vintage Racing Show bike ...you may want to please look elsewhere as I am not sure what all that would be about & again, this was NOT Built to be a 100% Perfectly stock concourse SHOW or 100% Original Concourse Bike etc....But, I can tell you ... I would think Most People think this is a " STUNNING Vintage Racing Bike it will typically Draw a Crowd of people where ever we have Parked or Shown her off ! ...At the Worlds Largest Motorcycle show with other Vintage Street & Race bike in our VJMC (Vintage Japanese M/C Clubs Booth ...that was sitting next to ...what many MC Enthusiasts would call nearly Priceless Race Bikes (& this auctions bike you can buy for well under ~3K) ....Anyway,...During the 3 day show...

In the past 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 (many) shipping quotes (& get a estimated pick up date in writing) before you commit or finalize a deal & or make a deposit) 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 400 Enduro which weights nearly about DOUBLE of what this auctions Magnificent 1977 HONDA ELSINORE CR 125M Vintage Racing bike Beauty Weights ( I would estimate only about 180 pounds!!!) & he was only charged about 330 US dollars a few months ago...I think ebay may have a shipping site, but if you want a very competitive rate I would go thru Uship.com & get "LOTS OF BIDS" the first bids you will receive will most likely be the highest $$ quotes that you will receive...Also, Please Keep in mind, I live Very Close to the Central Business Hub of Los Angeles & Also the Los Angeles (Long Beach 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 than if you deal with some trucker that is not ! Again, If you need a shipper I would get "Lots of Quotes" (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM & plan on "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 some one that is not already here & is not going any where near your direction...Also, "Please Remind the trucking Co. you are getting the quote from that ..."This bike is a relatively nimble + very simple dirt bike & ONLY weights about 180 Pounds" (It is NOT a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be FAR Cheaper & Should definitely reflect that difference.Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate Also, I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Area Based Shippers Distribution yard hub for "FREE" & or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard in the Los Angles Area for You for "FREE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
