Not too many rm's of that yea around and they do not sell well.Good for me as i could get it cheap but i would never get my money out of it. Maybe later as the channel grows.
A true beauty returned to its original splendor at a cost that seems absolutely reasonable to me, of course seeing it with the values that are handled in my country to make a reconstruction of this type. Congratulations for the excellent work and dedication!! Greetings from Cordoba. Argentina.
This puts things into Prospective. It's essentially a brand new bike when you get done. Should be getting close to a brand new bike price. I would like to see you go back and price some of your other builds. Everyone would find it interesting.
it really depends where you live and the demand. 124's do not sell for alot. this bike is currently for sale by the owner for 5499+ fees in a dealership.
Just take time and don't get discouraged if something is not going as planned. I have to do somethings over if they don't turn out right and some things I have to just accept it can't be better than it is.
No profit. Sold the the bike for 4k, but it went to a special place. Not what i had intended the bike to be for but it is in a good place. If the new owner allows me, i will post a photo of where it is now. Next years build is a 1983 YS490. I did rebuild a 1987 Suzuki RM125. You can find it on my channel under playlists. Hondas are very popular so lots of them around. the other brands are harder to find and sell where i live.
Hi mate I’m also building a 1990 cr125r here on the Gold Coast in Australia. I would really love it if you could help out where you found the seat cover and also the white side panel decals. Any would be be great thankyou

This one took a long time because i did a lot of new things like sandblasting, powder coating and plating that i had never done before. Lets say 120 hours
Iv priced out every place i could find in the new england area in the US and there all 275-350$. I did however find one guy im going to give a try for 225$. I just hope its not shotty work because il end up having 500$+ if i have to fix a botched job.
Ebay most of the time. Plastic is from ufousa. Partzilla or babbits for new oem bolts, bearings seals. Wrenchrabbit for crank if they have it as well as other bearings and seals.
I have had 3 frames blasted and coated. First 2 were $250 each. that was the cheapest i could find and the place went out of business. The city upped his property taxes from 12k to 40k so he could not make it. This one was done by another place in my own town. two quoted $400, one quoted $350 but i had to leave it with him for 3 months so he could do it when he had time. It was winter so i left it with the guy. Blasting alone anywhere is over $120 hr or $75 hr if you do it yourself. Its just what we have to pay living in the Lower mainland of BC
Thats a shame you took a loss,your selling yourself short, maybe try letting us know then throw it on ebay??anyhow great build tnt i look foward to the 490 then maybe the 250 af that made an appearance awhile back with a 500 Stuffed into her??
4k for that thing? i think u waste ur money... u can get a PRERTTY much almost like now bike for 5k.....idk i just ques i dont have a Dirt bike but that seems A LOT to me
@@TNTMOTO hmm that way u are 'right' i found cr 125 from 1992 for 1k and i think if i spend another's 500-600 i can make it little bit better performance and looking.. not close to yours but... For first ever dirt bike do u recommend. It to me?
You forgot the happiness of having a hobby and the satisfaction of seeing and riding the finished product- $Priceless.00
Awesome build and great dedication. I'd LOVE to see a 1991 or 1992 rm125/250 restoration I think they are the coolest looking bikes.

check out G9Garage's channel he did a 92 RM 125 and 250

Thankyou very much for watching.
Damn sewing machine on steroids beautiful job nd cheers for bringing glory back to this Cr
Absolutely beautiful!!! I'm building an '89 CR and I can only hope mine comes out that nice.
Im building an 88 right now along with a 99 kx250. Much more excited to see this honda done though
Great job on your restro! Well done😎
Thankyou
looking forward to the 490 , i just put my 490 engine together but could do with watching you just in case i forgot anything😀

i have done a few in the description but i can make a few videos as well
Please make them like this one. It really brings it to life. Thanks as always.
Said it before and I'll say it again, Awesome work. Keep doin what your doin.
Thank you.
Is there anything better lookin than the 90s crs?! I think not.
Great video fantastic looking bike 🇬🇧👍
great job !!
Thankyou
Awesome work mate. Looks beautiful.
Very nice build, well done! :)
thankyou
easy to make rim strap/strip from old innertubes with contact cement for patching tubes. you can make any width you want.
the bike turned out awesome....
Thank you
If you don’t mind me asking, What do you think the bike would appraise for in the finished form.
it really depends where you live and the demand. 124's do not sell for alot. this bike is currently for sale by the owner for 5499+ fees in a dealership.
Just picked up an 81 KX 250... wish I had your knowledge of splitting cases!
I will be doing another engine disassembly soon. Take your time and video it for re assembly.
@@TNTMOTO Great idea!
damn that looks amazing.awesome restoration
Thankyou
Hope mine turns out that good
Just take time and don't get discouraged if something is not going as planned. I have to do somethings over if they don't turn out right and some things I have to just accept it can't be better than it is.
I hope you made profit on this build. Would be nice to see you restore another brand.. the 1989 90 suzuki 125 was a nice bike. ;)

Can you tell me where you found rad grills? struggling to source here in UK.
I think they were with the bike. But ebay is where I get everything
Not much here in Canada either. I get everything from the states. Try looking up bike salvage yards in California

Very nice job, i enjoyed watching all your posts. How many hour's do you think, you put into this resto?
This one took a long time because i did a lot of new things like sandblasting, powder coating and plating that i had never done before. Lets say 120 hours
@@TNTMOTO like you i do the odd resto, they sure are a labour of love. Great job keep them coming🖒
@@australiandirtbikeracing2108 Thanks
Amazing!
Beau travail belle restauration et le prix responsable . 2860 Euros oups .
about how much for the powder coating?
i paid $400 canadian. that included the blasting of the frame. if you shop around you should be able to get it done for less
Damned.... so expensive. I paid only $90 here in France for powder coat on my 92 CR frame.
Was that including blasting and prep? Your Euro is also worth $1.31 cad
Yes of course. And I also wasted my time degreasing all the frame because the guy told me it was not necessary. I paid exactly €80.
@@thogui9560 Ya thats a way better deal than you get here, but everything is expensive here.
Whatever... your work is awesome!

How much did the bike sell for?
4k cad
@@TNTMOTO I thought for sure you would have made money with how nice that bike turned out.
@@Topnikko i don't sell them to make money just to break even. Anything extra comes from the channel.
Info where Buy parts
Ebay most of the time. Plastic is from ufousa. Partzilla or babbits for new oem bolts, bearings seals. Wrenchrabbit for crank if they have it as well as other bearings and seals.
@@TNTMOTO thanks u sr.
How did u find a cr125 for under 200 bucks?
It was on a facebook bidding wars site. Its a auction group for facebook members.
TNT MOTO thats great man i love these earlier model cr’s, i hope to find one cheap soon :)
Love your videos and commitment. But on this one I can't get past that seat cover being red.
I know but it is the stock oem color
@@TNTMOTO oh well damn I didnt know that. OK cool I'm dumb 😂
185....i buy aprilia rx 50 cc 100euro....do you change.)?
How the hell did someone charge you $350 to powdercoat your frame.

In the end i sold the bike at only a about a $140 loss.
I got a cr125r 1990
That would be $3,149.50 USD for anyone wondering.
I wonder what Ken Kaplan sold his for in usd back in 2015
@@TNTMOTO That would be interesting to find out.
It’s $3,333.53 US dollars
in brazil you can buy with 185 $ ( brazilian Real ) only a pair of front brake pads of good quality HAHAHA ( i'm crying not laughing)
Wow alot of the stuff seems way overpriced for what it is
That's the canadian dollar exchange rate. Everything costs me an extra 32%
4k for that thing? i think u waste ur money... u can get a PRERTTY much almost like now bike for 5k.....idk i just ques i dont have a Dirt bike but that seems A LOT to me
It is vintage. it is about owning something from that time era. its like a classic car or a classic guitar.
