2006 Husqvarna CR 125

2006 Husqvarna CR 125 sits in the middle of Husqvarna's motocross range as a proper 125cc two-stroke built for riders who want to race, not cruise. This is a bike that demands you keep the engine spinning near the top of its rev range to make anything happen, rewarding aggressive clutch work and a rider who's willing to shift constantly rather than lug through corners. It's light, flickable, and unforgiving of lazy technique, which is exactly why 125 two-strokes built a reputation as the proving ground for serious racers. Ownership means living with two-stroke maintenance realities: mixing fuel, watching top-end wear, and rebuilding more often than you would on a four-stroke. The 2006 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2005 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. The typical buyer here is a club racer or a former racer easing back into the sport, someone who wants a genuine race bike rather than a trail companion. Collector interest remains low, so this is a machine bought to be ridden hard, not tucked away.
