It's got to go, to make way for the next project.
So: Honda SL125, 1974 model. One of the best in the country, of that I'm
sure.
Been resprayed in US-spec XL250 yellow/black. It's a lovely paint job,
so I've left it as is and sod originality.
17k miles, believed genuine. Engine is lovely. Top whack maybe 60+.
Brand new OE front forks and seat. Brand new indicators. Wheels recently
rebuilt by Hagon, with new rims, polished hubs and stainless spokes.
Brand new tyres and tubes, brakes, chain, sprox. New battery. Fitted
with a neat little rear carrier, too.
Not concours, but delightful. It could use a new pair of shocks simply
because the existing ones are all spring and no damp, but that doesn't
stop its rideability. Long tax & MoT.
So what's it worth? Well, a part-restored one went up to £765 on Ebay
recently and failed to meet reserve (daft seller - I'd have taken the
dosh). That was resprayed in original silver, redone frame, redone
engine, wheels needed doing, it had no electrics fitted and wasn't a
runner. So £800 for this 'un. No, not cheap at all, but a damn sight
less than it cost me ('twas ever thus) and SL125s are really
sought-after.
SW London area.

All of the part restored ones have found their way onto ebay. And the
last one isn't for sale... >> Stay informed about: FS: Honda SL125 |

But that was taken before the new wheels and tyres went on.

Hi
I'm interested in this bike. Is it still available?
I had one when I was 17 and all that. If I could get my 17 year old
girlfriend as well that would be a bonus. Price seems OK. I live in Aberdeen
but am moving to London v soon.
Any chance of a couple of pics. Of the bike - not you.
Cheers,

Is this directed at me?
If so, the bike was sold some time ago.
