## Description
This listing features a Honda XL125R (JD04). It combines a vintage appearance with the upgraded performance capability from the previous XL125S model. The round headlight gives it a classic charm, while the Pro-Link rear suspension paired with full-size wheels (21-inch front and 18-inch rear) enhances off-road performance significantly compared to older twin-shock models.

After over 40 years since its production, the round headlight version has become particularly rare. This motorcycle is a must-see for those seeking classic and vintage off-road bikes. Its lightweight frame and easy kick-start engine make it accessible for novice riders. Registered as a 125cc small motorcycle, it is economical in terms of insurance and taxes.

Please consider this opportunity.

Regarding the vehicle condition:
 - It starts easily with the kick.
 - I did not notice any strange noises, white smoke, or gear slipping during test rides.

You can check the external appearance and starting video here: [YouTube](https://youtube.com/shorts/4FEQ4Zw6Wfc).

Due to being a used vehicle, there are some rust, scratches, dirt, and touch-up repairs. There is a crack in the right light cowl. Test rides were conducted only around the premises; nothing outside of what is listed has been inspected or serviced, hence it is sold as-is. Please thoroughly check and service before use.

## Collector note
The Honda XL125R JD04 is a notable model in the vintage off-road motorcycle scene, particularly revered for its distinct round headlight design that sets it apart from the earlier XL125S variant. Released over 40 years ago, the JD04's lightweight frame and reliable performance make it an appealing choice for both novice and experienced riders. Collectors often seek well-preserved examples like this one, as condition significantly impacts value; minor rust and scratches are common in this era of production but don't detract from its classic charm. This specific model, with a documented history and low mileage, reflects the authentic quality that Japanese motorcycles are known for.
