Hello Honda277 your best bet in getting prices for these modifications is to contact Derek at HP Bikes.

I need to get an approximate price as to how much this all cost. I dont have that much money but still want my CR125 to perform better than stock.

Special thanks to Derek Harris for all the work and research that guided so many to build budget racers that rip.

Hopefully in the near future we will do a complete write up on Duke’s machine.

Sounds good i built my 01 CR 125 after reading about yours and i have to say the bike is so much better than stock night and day very competive with just a few mods that harris motorsports had me do not porting the cylinder or doing the head mod we went with a bunch of easy bolt on stuff 38 mm carb V-force 05 Air boot FMF pipe with the national silencer not the shorty power valve stop mod drilled air box and a way we went jetted for strait race gas Torco 110 and running it at 28 to 1 Mix it rips very competive just as fast as any 125 out there we will do a few more mods next cylinder and head i cant imagine how it’s going to run i now love my 01 CR 125 and im killing the comp on it pulling holeshots and wining the +40 vet class against the BIG 450’s.

New updates and tests are coming for the “budget racer CR125″ so stay tuned. I can walk now without any pain so I’ll be back to riding soon with revalved suspension, springs for my weight and some more engine work and goodies such as a Pro Circuit electronic ignition (bought super cheap in a blowout sale).

Ridered125

Thank you for the compliments on this article.

We agree that investing $10,000. or more into a brand new $8,000. motocross bike is out of the budget of most motocross racing families.

There is a way to be competitive, at least on a local level without spending so much money.

Although if you plan on competing in the top amateur or professional events, the cost of your machine and the modifications required to be competitive will increase dramatically.

We have a few articles for normal folks in the works. So please stay tuned!

This is one of the best motocross bike hop-up articles I have ever read. It is detailed, easy to to understand, and not about a 2009 bike that someone drops $5000 into. Very well done and refreshing.
