I am looking to get a Honda CR125R and i found a 2002 and a 2005, both in really nice shape. Is there any difference in the 2 years? Did honda change anything from 2002 to 2005?
2002 or 2005 CR125R

Here are some upgrades of the 03 over the 02. So yeah, there will be some differences. What is the price difference?
New Features
Engine
• Reed valve petals increased in size, and sub-reed valve added.
• Combustion chamber shape modified.
• Cylinder port timing, exhaust port shape, exhaust passage, and RC valve
shape all changed.
• Expansion chamber and silencer specifications modified.
• TMXχ carburettor size increased from 36 to 38mm.
• New ignition timing characteristics.
• Ignition coil changed.
• Volume of connecting tube between aircleaner and carburettor increased and
shape modified. Sidecover air intake shapes also modified for enhanced lowspeed
power and acceleration, as well as shaper response and more linear
performance characteristics.
• New aircleaner box improves sealing to better shut dust out of the intake.
Chassis
• Smaller-area reinforcement patch over twin-spar aluminium frame’s front
crossbar results in reduced rigidity and more comfortable control.
• New foam gasket and thicker reinforcement plate between air box and
connecting tube improve sealing to better shut dust out of the intake. Stronger,
more durable foam gasket material allows easy disassembly without requiring
constant replacement.
• Intake airflow from aircleaner, through carburettor to cylinder straightened
for stronger low-end torque and engine performance.
