                                           1972 Honda RC125M

  This is a very rare works Honda that shares very little with the 125 Elsinore. Notice the cylinder, side-covers and the motor mounts. They are completely different than any production Honda 125. The frame does not have a rear frame loop and appears to have a different geometry. The shocks look similar to production. The Hubs are probably sand-cast magnesium and the front forks are hand made.
