Description
The Honda XL125 was one of the pioneering dual-sport motorcycles of the 1970s, offering riders the perfect blend of on-road practicality and off-road capability in a lightweight, accessible package. While it wasn't the first dual-sport cycle of Honda's lineage, it offered much more versatility than its SL-badged predecessors. While it was hardly a snorting speed-machine, it was capable and comfortable - and has since become quite the collector's item.
This 1974 example proudly sits amongst the early generation of these versatile machines that helped establish Honda's reputation for reliable, user-friendly trail bikes. This particular XL125 has benefited from a comprehensive refurbishment and makes for an attractive proposition for collectors of classic Japanese motorcycles or those seeking a characterful, lightweight ride with period charm.
