  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Today, I found a 2004 CR125 on Craigslist (Atlanta). Super clean bike, 1 owner, new top end, wheel bearings, pads, Tires ect... The guy wants $2500. We talked and he knows he's way over priced. I told him that I would pay $1500 and he turned me down. What do you guys think it's worth? My plan was to do a 165 kit and convert it to a woods weapon...
 
900-1700 depending on condition. Your $1500 offer is right on. There is a semi clean one sitting at a used car shop blocks from my house. Asking $2400. Told them it will sit there forever at that price and offered them 1200. A year and a half later and it still sits there. :excuseme:

All that said I really like the 04 CR125 platform. Very solid and I like the thin ergonomics and lower seat height.
 
$1500 would be what I can get one in Oz for and they are dearer here . I don't really understand getting the old bike thing - when much newer bikes are so cheap . If newer bikes were 5 -6k yes I would but 3.5k will buy a great bike - maybe a 144 which will not need anything .

for me personally I started with a 04 CR125 to build my 165 from because:

(my opinion only)

- Great motors with the good ignition and port config
- Slim low ergonomics
- Slim low big tank available (much nicer than the newer ones)
- Stronger frame
- Zerks on linkage
- Was going to modify it anyway
- Cheap
 
Yeh i guess- especially on the ignition and port configuration
I like the feel of the old 7 port head -power seems smoother , more refined
And more top end maybe
I know I was disappointed with my newer cr 125 delivery compared to old motor
