The CZ 125 in 73 was, bar none, the slowest heaviest 125 built. A slug.

This bike , or the 1981 model which was exactly the same apart from the decals , was the game changer that started the trend of major development in the world of motocross. Radical styling for the time , great suspension and liquid cooled. This bike absolutely dominated the 125 classes in 81 and 82 , nothing came close.

Ok well this actually didn’t answer the question at all. For height do you measure to the bottom of the bar end or the top? Or the center? Thats an inch in difference. Also to be really accurate do you measure to the ID or OD? Why can I not find this information!!??

Took mine to pismo dunes earlier this year, it wasn’t running right (or maybe it was me) so I only took it for 3 spins, she was pretty great though!

I had one of these I bought gently used in 83. Loved the rear suspension and handling. Great bike. Couldve used a bit more power though.

Very nice! I especially like early '80s bikes, it is when I became interested in them and started riding. I am curious about the welding you did on the rims. I have done that, too. Looked OK, soon cracked next to weld. I had assumed that they were probably weldable 6061. Mine were not...after some research found that most are 2024. DID and Takasago typically are, anyway. It is considered unweldable. They are ERW welded from new- electric resistance welding. Which works OK, I guess, but that is where they Crack for me. My TIG welds did not last. 2024 is very strong, but crap for welding. Al/Cu crystals don't form or distribute correctly during cooling. (?) Most aircraft sheet metal (wing & fuselage skin, etc) is this alloy. Sun rims are 6061. Any thoughts? Do you know your alloy? Are welds holding up? Mine re-cracked after one rocky, brutal eastern PA woods ride. Nice that you do your own machining and welding. I do, too. If you can't do all that, you're a parts replacer! Forming a squish area in that combustion chamber is something many people wouldn't think about. Beautiful bike, thanks for the video.

The 82 RM125 was a revolutionary bike when it came out. Water cooled with one of the first rising rate suspensions in a production bike. A true classic.

Bought one of these in 86, with a view to race. but sadly that didn't happen as the person that was going to be taking me, let me down and at the time i only have a motorcycle on the road. brilliant bikes.

40 + years old or not, you can still recognize the benefits of that sweet, sweet Full Floater system. I used it on both my '83 RM 80 and my '85 RM 125 and the way it feels trumps all else of that particular era. Its design of allowing the shock to work independently of both the frame and swingarm and has a very distinct and smooth feel unlike anything else I ever rode.

The 1981s used the “Power Reed” design that had a piston port intake with a 2 petal reed in the bottom of the intake port. The 82 used the “Full Reed” like is used on most engines and then in 1983 they went back to the 1981 cylinder.

The Rm250z 1982 perhaps the fastest vicious motor and handled. These RMs dominated MX until 1983 Honda finally got it's act together. RM 500 was nice I raced . Smooth handled well never broke down much . Rear suspension was best .

I was 14 in 1981 and had a 74 Honda XR75 my parents had bought me when I was 11 for $200 and I learned to ride and work on it, but it was not much to ride anymore. I had all the magazines and was bugging my dad to let me get a RM/CR/KX/YZ 80 as I had been on a few and was 2 stroke hooked, He seemed to be for it, but kept stalling me, Finally one day he said how about a 125, I think you will outgrow an 80 too quick, I already knew the RM was every magazines top 125 in 81, and my favorite as well, so as soon as the 1982 RM125Z came out and was the best bike again, We got in the truck one day and drove to a nearby City that had dealers with more Motocross race bikes in stock than our little dealers had motorcycles. $1550.00 and it was in the back of the truck coming home. That bike was so good, and so unbelievably cool back then, I even got a Simpson model 52 full face helmet, Scott goggles and gloves. I was the shit....Although I have had several bikes since then, that is the only bike I ever bought brand new. Good memories for sure.

Awesome story! My father did the same. I wanted another 80cc bike after my '83 RM 80 blew up, but my old man said nope. I was only 5 feet tall at the time, but I quickly learned how to get my brand new 1985 RM 125 in motion on a downhill, jump up onto it, and kick it over in a matter of seconds.
