Honda-SOHC

Yes, RDs are great. I have an RD350A which I've owned for years. My brother has a 1973 Yam CS5E 200, similar to this 125 that he is looking to sell, fairly tidy although a bit non standard and been sat for a few years. It used to belong to a friend of mine back in the day when I was riding my CB200 (all my bikes seem to be off the road), and when we took them up the by-pass I used to be able to get mine flat out up to about 85mph (that's what it said on the speedo anyway) and he would always be able to overtake me on the Yam. He was really annoying like that as before that I had a Yam FS1E and he had a Suzuki AP50 and mine would just about reach 45mph and he would pass me and then change up into fifth. The fizzie only had 4 gears as I remember.

Hi, I still have my first bike (if you don't count the FS1E) - a CB200 that I rode around the streets of Cambridge in the early 80's. I fitted megaphone exhausts and you could hear me coming home from miles away - happy days. It has been sitting in the garage for many years and I can't decide whether to have a go at restoring it or sell it as I have a few other bikes that are also not getting the attention they deserve (H1F, RD350A, CS5E), Mark.
