AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This specific model belongs to the iconic NF4 generation, a pure two-stroke Grand Prix production racer built by HRC (Honda Racing Corporation).
The RS125R underwent yearly updates during that period to stay competitive in Grand Prix racing:
Chassis: A high-quality perimeter frame made of cast and extruded aluminum, paired with conventional Showa front forks and spoked wheels (18 inch).
Engine: A liquid-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke engine with reed-valve induction (case-reed induction) and a mechanical power valve (RC-valve).
Carburetor: Standard equipped with a specific Keihin PJ carburetor.
Technical Specifications
Engine type: 124.8cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke.
Power: Approximately 36 to 40+ hp at extremely high RPMs (above 12,000 rpm).
Frame: Lightweight aluminum twin-spar chassis, designed for maximum agility in corners.
Brakes & Suspension: Fully equipped with high-end race components such as Showa- or HRC-front forks and specific HRC/Nissin braking systems.
Transmission: Sequential manual six-speed.
Historical Value:
The RS125 series for decades formed the ultimate training ground for future MotoGP legends. Big names such as Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Loris Capirossi began their careers on this platform. The 'RF' specifications from the early '90s helped to cement Honda's dominance in the 125cc Grand Prix class. Today these two-stroke engines are sought-after collector's items for vintage road racing events.
The engine comes from a collection, and must be started if you want to ride it. Mileage is unknown
Transport and export is no problem

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
