Did the early 80's 125cr come in the same big frame as the 250's?
I never seen them. I had two '85 / one '86 cr125's. But the early 80's bikes in the pics
Appear to look like the larger frames?

Yes, the 1980 125cr used the same frame as the 1980 250cr/390cr Although the 125cr would use a different swing arm.
The 1981 125cr used the same frame as the 1981 250cr/430cr and same swing arm
The 1982 125cr used the same frame as the 1982 250cr/430cr and same swing arm
The 1983 125cr used the same frame as the 1983 250cr/500cr and same swing arm
Hope this helps

From '77-up the 125 always used the same frame as the 250/360/390/430. The 125 did not always get the newest generation frame the same year as the big bikes, but it never had a special frame. The reason you dont see very many early 80s 125s is because they were heavy and VERY slow. For example, my '82 125 XC weighs 30lbs more than the other 125s from '82 and it make a LOT less power. Even with the Husky Products 175 kit a Japanese 125 from '82 will pull it like the brakes are dragging.
