Lot 72-7661P: 1972 Honda SL125

Based on my review of recent sales data from Classic.com, here’s what a 1972 Honda SL125 is worth:

About This Specific Bike

The $5,950 asking price for this 4,748-mile original example from Street Dreams Texas is at the higher end but justified given:

• Extremely low original mileage (most SL125s were “ridden hard and put away wet” in their day)
• Documented “Original & Highly Original” condition with factory Candy Blue finish
• Strong provenance from a reputable dealer in Texas

Low-mileage, original examples like this are increasingly scarce and command a premium over average examples that often need work. The seller’s description noting these bikes were typically used hard makes this 4,748-mile survivor particularly desirable.

Bottom line: The price is fair for a turn-key original example, though you might find comparable bikes at auction in the $3,500–$5,000 range if you’re willing to hunt and potentially handle some reconditioning.

Would you like me to help you find similar Honda SL125s currently for sale, or do you have questions about what to look for when evaluating these bikes?
