Can anyone point me to a website for early 70's honda enthusiasts? I
recently bought what the title says is a 1974 CB125...but I'm not so sure.
Is there a website with pictures somewhere, or are there any experts here?
I found one list that says that they were only made in Orange in '74...but
this one is original and yellow.
Also, any leads on an original or online manual?
Thanks!

Well first, here are many images of various Honda cb125
models: http://images.google.com/images?q=%2B%22honda+cb125%22&hl=en
Next, you probably need to visit: http://www.vjmc.org/
for a vast knowledge and experience in such issues.

Thanks Gary...yeah, I started with Google...there were some that were close,
but many were UK bikes, and I wasn't sure if the models were the same.
Digging around VJMC now. Thanks!

Mike:
You might try calling Honda's customer service people. I have called
both Suzuki's and Yamaha's customer service departments, gave them the
VIN number of the bike, and they confirmed what it was. I just did it
yesterday with an old Yamaha engine I was given. Honda should be able
to do the same. Hope this helps.
