Honda CB125S 1977

I am reluctantly selling my lovely 1977 Honda CB125S. I have owned the bike for about 2 years. It was intended to go on the back of my motorhome (which it does very nicely ) I bought this as I owned one when I was 17 (and 5 stone lighter). Unfortunately I have discovered that its just a bit to small for my expanded girth. especially if the wife comes with me ! So. it has to go. The back had 3 owners before me. It hadn't moved for several years before I got it. and rather than do a full restoration. I made the decision to keep it as original as possible. It therefore hasn't been resprayed and looks the better for it. The original stickers from the supplying dealer are still on it. The only penalty for this is a small blemish on the tank. a tiny 'ding' (see pic) What I have done is replace chrome work were required ( New o/e rear mudguard ) New exhaust system. Front forks rechromed and rebuilt with new bushes and seals. New Hagon rear shock absorbers ( uprated units ) Front disc brake stripped and rebuilt with new pads. New rear brake shoes and new Continental tyres. new chain and sprockets and a new battery. As it had been standing for a long time. I invested in a top end rebuild. with new piston and rings and bored +. 25.  I've also had a period pressed alloy number plate made for it.  I believe the mileage to be genuine but can't quantify that. The seat base is is solid and in good condition. The cover is the original and will still give years of use but does have  a couple of tiny blemishes (see pics) In my opinion. it probably looks better than a new one but covers can be obtained fairly cheaply from David Silvers if its appearance upsets you. Its a really nice little bike that attracts attention everywhere. I went to a Harley Davidson rally on it and had a huge crowd around it ! It starts and runs smoothly but I think Im asking it too much to carry around my 16 stone. especially with my wife as pillion. If you have any queries then please ask. I've tried to be as honest as I can. Please note. this is a bid to buy !Deposit ?100  via Paypal. balance in cash only on collection please. And no. I won't ship to Nigeria !
