by Brenton Shields
The CR 125R is a mid-class dirt motorcycle from Honda. The 1998 model year laid the basis for models that followed it, with only minor changes made between years. The 1998 bikes featured a newer intake, new exhaust system and upgraded chassis in comparison the models that preceded it.
