Default 1985 cr125 coolant overflow problem

I am wondering what the problem is with the bike. Everytime I get on the throttle the coolant comes flying out. I replaced the radiator cap but that was not the problem. Is it a blown head gasket, or clogged water jackets? Any help please.

You could pressure test the system and that will show you. If it was a blown gasket the water would be murky and it would run rough as a horse

You mean like it had oil in it?

The water is not merky and it is coming out the coolant overflow tube.
