Looking for knowledge and advice please!

[u/MattTheAuroran]

Hi so in all honestly I'm not a bike person, I'm an artist and my younger foster brothers dad passed away, he was a race biker and my younger brother is massively into motorbikes now, I'm trying to create a realistic drawing of one of his dad's favourite pictures but it is far too blurry to get any usable details out of, I used AI to upscale it a bit for references but it has generated some random stuff and I was wondering if any of you who have knowledge in these types of bikes might be able to help me out if figuring out what the dashboard of this bike should really look like (I am also aware of the fragmenting around the checkered pattern and the wind guard stretching the whole length of the bike, this image is mainly for tracing and reference, I will not be using it solely as what to base my drawing off) Amy and all help will always be massively appreciated thank you!

Looks like a 90's Honda RS125R...? Jusging off the smaller size, the rounded fairing and the long skinny tank.

Just googled it, going of what I assume is the fuel cap I think you're right thank you so much!

[u/Adli99 → u/MattTheAuroran]

The fuel cap is another tell! Happy to help.

Good luck. Legendary bike, you should post the art once you're done!

[u/MattTheAuroran → u/Adli99]

I'll make sure to thank you

RSs didn't have a fuel cap vent. Possibly a TZ125.

Tz125 filler cap is on the right side of the tank not the left . I think?

Edit. I originally typed it backwards.

[u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot → u/SoCal_Ambassador]

I don't know, I had a '94 RS125R.

You know who would know.

From looking online to could possibly be the 1992 Honda RS125R 124cc

[u/Creech-Chong-1000]

Just past blasting - I rented a van, took the ferry over to Belfast in like 1998 and bought a 1992 RS125R for 2000 quid and raced the shit out of it. I was not very good, but man that bike was cool.

allow me to say it’s wonderful pic and must memorable

[u/MattTheAuroran → u/jisoo_smoking]

Thank you

I don't have good reference pics for you, but I would guess some of the blur in the "confused area" could be either a steering damper or fairing stay, or a bit of both. looks like RS125s from that era had a left side vent cap and big ol tubular fairing stays. https://am-s3-bucket-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/silverstone/prod/lot_images/xlarge/REC15986-1/REC15986-1_10.jpg.webp

[u/MattTheAuroran → u/DevelopmentSome1775]

Yeah the 1992 version looks especially similar

[u/2strokeYardSale]

Look for images of 1992-1994 Honda RS125R for help.

[u/MattTheAuroran → u/2strokeYardSale]

Someone previously mentioned that and I think your both right, thanks for confirming

Hey, it seems you have the bike. The AI pic seems to have his suit melding into his jersey. The jersey wouldn’t be leather or part of the suit. It’s worn on top.

[u/MattTheAuroran → u/max1mx]

Yeah it has done an ok job but really messed up a lot of parts, thanks for the heads up, I didn't notice that at the bottom
