Part 2 is here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btBypKucrLqqdYU.html : Thank you for the support of this build Guys , I appreciate it .

I like the fact that he has patience with his son and letting him work on the bike instead of him watching or playing video games. Keep up the good work and adding on more to the family of motocross

Braaaap!!! Well, after a little bit of work is done anyway. Spent lots of time on bikes when I was younger, eventually moved on to 3 wheelers and had a blast with them as well. Good to see you both working together, making those memories!

Good father/son project. Looked like he was having a good time. Keep up the good work Dad

You helper did a great job with the disassembly back in 1972 I had a XL 125 street & trail Honda, got it new paid $700.00 for it.

Have been riding motorcycles for around 50 years. The only bikes that scared me were dirt bikes. I rode a Honda 450 not sure of the model, but just trying to hit the power band scared the shit out of me. I respect the hell out of dirt riders, it’s wide open or nothing! I owned a Honda 450 enduro and that was fun to ride on and off the road. The only thing was if you had to hit the brakes real hard it tended to lay down. Was riding down a country paved road and all of a sudden a flatbed truck backed out of a field across both lanes. Had to hit the brakes or die, instantly went down and as I was skidding down the road the bike flipped around and instead of the bike heading for the truck, the bike was pushing me towards the truck. I was wearing a bright orange jacket, so it wasn’t that he couldn’t see me, luckily he pulled back into the place he came out of far enough that I skidded past him. But to get back to the dirt bike, never got on another one. Just wasn’t for me!

New sub here. I just bought an abandoned farm and found a late 80s CR125 there in the barn that needs redone so i will be watching for sure.

Couldn't sleep last night, I found this video at 3:13 in the morning and I'm glad I did!

The best times I spent in the garage was rebuilding/fixing bikes or projects with my dad. Your blessed here man. RIP dad ✌️

Heck yea now were talkin I love the honda 125 2 strokes man the light weight ,the power band , rpms screaming. Alot of good times to be had looking forward to the build and seeing u double Josh around 😂🤣👏👏👏👍

this past summer my brother and I were gifted quite a few things from a neighbor of ours who was cleaning up his property. among those things was an 80's vintage Honda TRX200 and an early 90's TRX300. We were able to get both up and running with minimal parts (carbs, tires, hoses, etc.) That's one advantage of living in the Dallas area is that, unlike Florida, there is no salt in the air from the ocean, and unlike where you're at up north, no real amounts of snow to speak of. Looking forward to this tear down. I know Mustie has done quite a few bikes over the years. He may have some usable parts kicking around.

Sweet bike man! Many years ago I did a ‘94 yz125 with my father and it was a blast. Ebays the way to go, I remember we got a killer deal on a Hinson clutch assembly. Good times. 👍👍👍

Good times bro father son motorcycles can't go wrong

Part 2 will be out 1/18 Guys . Thank you for all the great comments and thumbs up , much appreciated .

Jason it's always fun to watch you and Josh tackling something together! VW or bikes, great memories for you two!

Such precious times working in the garage with your boy. Cherish the moments, they’ll be gone before you know it. My oldest is 17 now and I hardly see him anymore, let alone work in the garage with me. Hanging with dad just isn’t cool anymore. Good luck with the old CR!

I Baught A brand-new Honda CR 125 back in 85 And paid $2500. These vintage CR were very strong bikes and probably best in its class. I wish I had that bike back today because it was probably one of my best Dirt Bikes that I ever owned and I have Owned a few bikes.

When i was a kid my friend had a cr80 and that 2 stroke was crazy fast.. i mean we were 14.. so maybe it wasn't.. but at 14 it felt fast..

Great to see you showing your son the art of saving something old and forgotten

I think that generation of CR was the most beautiful Honda ever made. In '85 and '86, while still in and then just after high school, I used to go the dealer showroom and dream of buying and taking delivery of either a CR125R or CR250R. Also drooled over the YZ lineup at that time lol.

Awesome, can't wait! Thanks so much for your time.

A nice change Jason but I do like my motocross bikes too great video keep them coming👍😊

WOW! Memories... I am going to be 47 years old this year, and I STILL miss my 1985 Honda CR80R!

I raced a stock 1986 CR125 until 1996 and was pulling holeshots on brand new bikes, even having racers come up to me after the race just to check out this old bike that ripped out of the gate! That was a great bike! Honda did something special in the mid 80's that I think other brands hadn't figured out yet. Although you have a very lofty goal in front of you, the time you spend with your son during this project is a big investment in his emotional savings account that'll pay big dividends, even if it never does run. Although given your patience and are posting vids I have no doubt that it will run and can't wait to see that day, have fun with it and good luck. I'll look around my "inventory" of old dirt bike parts to see if I have anything laying around from that 86 CR125 and send them your way to pay it forward if I can. Good dad's are what make 'Merica great!

Damn it! This reminds me of the 1986 CR250 I bought complete for $150 but needed a new crank and top end. I had over ten bikes at the time and just gave it to my buddy. Wish I still had it now to do a project. Kicking myself pretty hard.

it's in tough shape for sure but working on a project like this with Josh is priceless and awesome. Memories and lessons he will never forget. hats off to you ! and best of luck with the bike , look forward to more videos

dropped a like simply for having the kid turn a wrench and learn

It's good seeing this type of videos because not all of us can afford a new bike

Nice motorcycle. Honda 125. Happy new year

yeah but the factory tye wraps are still good

Most people would use this as a donor bike, can't wait to see the progress on it. And luv seeing you teaching your "minny me" how to wrench :)

I had the same bike. I use to ride it down in the Meadowlands about a mile from Giant Stadium. We would ride the New Jersey Transit train tracks to the trails. That bike was a beast!!

My son (8) and I will be following. He's on a Cobra Sr. 50cc and mine is an '01 cr250.

Great job Josh It was nice of you to let your dad clean the bike up before you started to work on it. Cleaned up nice. BIG THUMBS UP

Good bike for a restore job. Just a iconic machine. Thanks for the great footage

Good on you for doing it with your kid, he will remember this forever

That was my dream bike when i was in jr. High. Cant wait to see that thing rippin again. Braaaap! And tonight is first night of Supercross.

it is cool to see your son doing all the work and having fun, you cant start youg enough with tinkering on bikes and cars

Nice to see a father and son working on a project together

Bars look original too👍

Great video!! I recently found an MB5 that belonged to my father, and am currently restoring it. It's a lot of work!!!

Good looking CR, I'm restoring a 82 YZ250 and race a 96 kx250

great having your son help and learn. I remember finding some plastic spray.

I cannot explain how helpful this is I literally just got a free 2003 cr125 and don’t even know where to start with the bike. Very helpful!!!

Love old 2 strokes. I had a kx250 think it was a 1992.. heavy and it ripped. Was one of my first restorations back when my son was born. Now that was a true outdoor garage... built it in the winter while living in Vermont. Good times! 🤦‍♂️

That brings back some fond memories as a kid

We need to see more of this bike!

You get a thumbs up just for having your kid wrenching creating the next generation of real riders

good project and it cleaned up ok great to have a good helper thumbs up shared good start

Awesome to see your son helping out.

Man, your son has all the authentic grizzled mechanic behaviors down already! (I had to wait til I was a teenager for that to happen!) Great vid, great bike, and great to see your son learning to spin wrenches!

Love to see the father-son bond..... lovely

He reminds me of my son... Nice father and son project 👍

Here for the bike restoration. You have my attention!

Awesome video that's great that you got your kid involved especially at that age they're usually playing with video games phones you name it can't wait to see you two get it running

Happy New Year!! Great to see you Josh, terrific job!! I just looked at Kijiji (in NB Canada) and there's a '98 CR 125 (never raced????) for $2200, hmm, maybe not a bad deal....but, my wife would kill me if the bike didn't!!

Pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing! 🤘

Yup VW's and Hondas my fav two rides, can't wait until you get it running.

Glad u can do this with your son makes me happy to see

Good luck with your new project, Jason. That little 125 reminds me of an afternoon I spent riding motocross on a similar Honda. I don't think I was able to move the next day. Great to see master mechanic Josh in action again! It's wonderful to see you guys working on stuff together.

Can’t wait to see your project on its way chaps👏

Great to see that you involve your boy with this! Wish my dad would have done that with us.

Not a vw guy but am a dirtbike guy looking forward to part 2 👌🏻

Looking forward to seeing this finished...I had the 85?model back in 88 when I was a teenager 💨💨

Very cool wow has Josh grown in the last few months that I've missed! Great helper and a comedian lol

That's a pretty fun project. My dad and i recently gave my brothers bike a new paintjob. Seeing you working on a bike is just as fun as VW's

Love that bike. I had a 85. 250 & that was the only bike I ever road that you still had more throttle then you could use. Best bike ever.

I was probably of his son age the first time I saw this Honda cr there is no other words to describe how it hit my brain i just stood there by curbside and lost in this beautiful piece of art ( yes it was exactly the same one ) thinking hard in my mind who owns this WOW who rides this. Your son is absolutely sweetheart keep up the good work. God bless

OMG its not a VW!! LOL It will be fun to see this come back to life.

Reminds me of my first dirtbike. 89 honda cr125r

That's what's up I love this if he wanted he have to work on it that's what's up teach him while he's young you doing exactly what you supposed to do keep up the good work thanks for sharing

I had an 83 and it was sun faded orange and blue just like that one.

That's an awesome bike. Love the old Hondas, got a few old XRs myself

sweet. looks like a cool project. Also you are a great Dad

It's so satisfying watching you spray down the bike!! Very relaxing.....

Lovely project, Looking forward to watching more updates on this CR 125 :)

Hey 5150mxVW 😎 Happy New Year 🎊 to you and your family and friends. Nice switch from VW’s . That’s how I learned to turn a wrench 🔧 and smashing knuckles. Oh the good days LOL. Thanks for the video. Great start for the New Year. Looking forward for the next video. C-ya 🤙

Happy new year to the complete 3J family! Maaan, nearly nothin' better in this world than watchin' father and son wrenchin' and havin' fun together! I think someone near me was cutting onions while I watched this because it brought tears* to my eyes. Something special in the DNA of VW collectors/fans must be very good for children development (and not only because marcijunebug is raisin' another even smaller petrolhead too). :-) ;-) Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health. Postscriptum: * of joy and good emotions of course!

I came across ur channel with this old bike wich is Super awesome but when I saw the vw that was a game changer for me love my DUBS good on you man

reminds me of me and my dad when i was kid...special times and SOO missed...my names Josh too and i grew up on Hondas

Looking forward to seeing you break it down.👍🧙‍♂️

CR125R teardown today ! Thank you for all the support & comments Guys , much appreciated .

Something about old bikes I never thought I would be interested? They have character I suppose. Nice video👌🇳🇿

She's a wee bit crusty! But she's a beauty under all that rust. Thankfully you brought in the best " mini- mechanic" in CT. Happy New Year to you and the Family.

Cant wait to see this thing get revived!

That's cool, I've been wanted to see your bikes for a long time

Love it bro, bringing back that old school CR and teaching your kid how to wrench is what it's all about 👍🏻 Looking forward to see how it comes out!!!

Glad I found this channel. Keep up the great work. Always wanted to have a VW and was thinking about rebuilding one.

I'd totally use that front number plate. :D Oh and those handlebars as well.

Happy new year Jason and josh! As you know, I love old vw’s, and older cars in general....but my employment history is when I was 19, I worked in the parts department of the biggest Honda distributor in Europe, based in bristol England. We’d get calls from all over the world! At the time, Honda never discontinued anything at all! I know that’s no longer the case sadly. What may help you, is if you can find a parts catalogue. This would show you what is supposed to be there, and what order it is assembled. It may also help you locate parts by part number. I look forward to seeing how you get on with this...

I remember when I was a kid and those were new. They were so big and mean looking. I thought my buddy’s cr80 was amazing. Much less the 125. We used to look at the guys who rode the 500s like they were from another planet cause they were so bad ass. Good luck. Hope it runs again one day.

I cant wait to see the plastics if they can be restored. Looks like just from washing them they look better already

Cool project to work on with your son.

josh seems good with his hands holds the tools the right way.

Always enjoy your videos and that’s a nice looking bike. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment.

Cool that you got your kid doing helping you out teach em right and teach em young 🤘

First time watching one of your vids, good to see the boy getting into it with the tools. Subbed

I come across this by pure luck. Reminds me of the days when me and my wee boy use to tinker about with his ktm 50. I cherished these moments as hes all growing up now and more into girls and spending time with friends 😊 subscribed 👍🏻

Both of your passions are exactly mine as well. 1960s VWs and dirtbikes ( 2 Strokes) have been my life since l was 10. I'm 39 now unfortunately. But keep on Rocking out brother!!!! As long as it's not seized up your all good. Maybe just a top end!!! Gta change that number plate tho...no triple 6s.

Hey, I know it's been a while since you posted these videos ,but I just came across them. My 1st 125 was a 1985 Honda CR125 when I was 15. I've been wanting to restore one. These videos are great!
