    Does anybody know if the CB125 twins were ever made with a 'leccy foot?

    Cheers Champ, guess we'll wait until Tog sticks his head over the
    parapet to give us chapter & verse.

    The first model twin, the 16bhp T and T2 (similar tank to the CB100
    were kickstart, the later mini Superdream (silver or red from about
    1984) had the electric starter.

    Thinking more, the later one with the electric start and 12v electrics
    is the CB125TDC, there was also a custom CM version, built from maybe
    1982.

  6. Depends which 125 twins. The early CB92 twins were, yes. The 1970s/1980s
    CB12xT (unrestructed versions, using a tuned Benly engine) did nothave
    an electric start. The later CB125T Super Dream (detuned version of
    above, with monoshock rear end) did.

    We're talking early 70s onwards here so I doubt that the CB92 figured.

  8. OK, in which case there was a 125 twin that looked like a sleeved down
    CB175 (because it was). Very. very rare here, but reasonably common on
    the Continent. The final models looked like sleeved down CB200s (because
    they were).

    Yes, electric start.
