Default 125cc Honda CA92.

Was this model not as popular as the CA95 ?

Sam, that's hard to actually answer for those who were really not there at the time. My love for motorcycles, especially Honda's started at 12 yrs old.
That puts me in 1964. I read everything motorcycle at that point and still recall the times as if it were yesterday.

Back in the day the Honda 50's, Trail 90's, Honda Dreams and the CB models were the most advertised here in the states. Certainly that does not mean that other models were not on the showroom floor. Perhaps the models were more popular on the west coast. Judging from the availability of parts today, perhaps the 125 was lesser known. My perspective is from being a young boy living northeast Ohio throughout the 60's and may not refect hard data.

I'm amazed at the amount of models there were. I thought it was the C100 (cub), CA95, CA77... and maybe a few more sprinkled in there.

I mean, they had many 49cc bikes, 60cc, 90cc... so many!

There were that many in the 60s Aaron, I doubt I can remember them all but here goes.

CZ100 Monkey bike.
C100 Cub.
C102 Electric start Cub.
C110 Sport 50 with up swept exhaust.
C115 Sport 50 with down swept exhaust.
C105 55cc Trail bike.
C90 90cc step through like the Cub.
C200 90cc pushrod motorcycle.
S90 90cc sports moyorcycle. OHC.
C92 125cc tourer Twin with OHC.
CB92 sports version.
C95 similar to the CA95.
C72 250 tourer. (dream)
CB72 250 sport bike.
C77 305 tourer.
CB77 305 sport bike.
Those were the early ones and were followed by,
SS50 OHC single 5 speed.
S65 65cc sport OHC.
SS125 sports twin.
CB160 " "
CD175 tourer.
CB250 sport twin.
CB350 " "
The Black Bomber, 444 DOHC sports twin.
And the mighty CB750, OHC inline 4 cylinder, the worlds first super bike as we know them.
These bikes killed off the British motorcycle industry.

Sam.
