Honda CG125

I have a Honda CG125, 2005 year, owned from new I could tell you how good the bike is, like nearly every review of the bike. But I do not wish to bore you with another identical review saying exactly the same. I was amazed to find no websites that support the Honda CG125, so I have created one. http://hondacg125.awardspace.com/ If you like my website, please rate this review as high as possible, since it’s the best way for people to find my website using the search engines (else website will be hard to find). I could write a very large review of the bike, since I am an experienced rider, I past my test over 10 years ...  Read the complete review

This review is based on my current and recent experience with the Honda CG125. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND MY EXPERIENCE USING IT My Honda CG125 is an 06 plate bought from new. This is the fully up to date model, so has great features such as electric start and front disc brake (more about these later in the review). This bike was made in Brazil rather than Japan.

The only other possible cosmetic improvement I would have liked would be alloy, instead ...  Read the complete review

The History: The Honda CG 125 has been around since the mid 1970's and has been manufactured in both Japan and Brazil. It is a well known tool for learners and those looking for cheap two-wheeled transportation all over the world.

It met it's end in Europe in 2008/2009 thanks to ever-tightening emission laws although there are still many used examples around for the prudent buyer on a ...  Read the complete review

Now this is a bike that is ideal for learning on. And that is about it. But for learning it is brilliant! I have ridden several of these on CBT's and some of the bikes may have seen better days. Starting the bike, you will notice the lack of an electric start and once started some of these are quite noisy. Moving forwards is simple enough and gear changes are easy to do. The clutch is easy to operate. The top speed is around 60mph (on the flat with no wind). Unfortunately at some point you may need to stop and oh dear, this is when you wish you had better life insurance. Drum brakes all around and pressing the pedal and pulling the lever ...  Read the complete review

Well i have owned my cg for about 3 months, decideing to buy a motor bike is the best thing i ever decided to do.. I find myself constantly finding excuses to go for rides, "oh no, i left my pen at uni! id better go get it :)" as much as i hate to say it this bike has its faults, i'll start with them... ok, lets start with the the engine, on a cold day (-3 cold) starting usualy takes a few trys (however the newer versions have an electric start so not as much of a pain) and when it goes be very carefull to warm up properly otherwise you will be stalling at lights and with a kickstart thats not much fun! The engine is quite vibey ...  Read the complete review
