Introduced in 1974, the Honda XL125 was a mainstay of Honda's 'off-road' model range. This production run of off-road, test and racing machines enjoyed a cult following in their day. The 'L' in XL stood for 'Legal', which meant that it was a fully road legal bike unlike the more extreme XR models, which were designed solely for off-road use. The XL 125 employed a 124cc two-stroke engine producing 13bhp and due to the bike's lightweight construction it was capable of reaching nearly 70 mph. The simple single-cylinder, single-camshaft engine was one of Honda's most rugged units with maintenance-free electronic ignition, close-ratio six-speed transmission, aluminium skid plate and chain final drive.
Offered without reserve, this 1981 example appears complete and we are advised it is thought to be in running order but will require recommissioning prior to use. Complete with current V5C and an old MOT certificate it surely represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Honda’s lightweight and easily managed off-roaders with the great benefit of lights and being registered for road use.
