My Honda CG125 is a 19 year old Brazilian import in white with grey and red markings. From that description to a new rider it sounded like a potential death trap dressed up in a 1980's shellsuit , but I wouldn't change it for the world! The best thing about these bikes is that despite their age they go on and on as there is really not 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 ...  Read the complete review

This was my first bike. Despite being rusty on the outside as testament to the brilliance of these little bikes it never gave me a problem. The wobbly handlebars and slim tyres take some getting used to but when you are used to the bike it actually allows you to be more precise. I was able to balance mine when approaching stationary ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I have owned a Honda CG 125 for twelve years, having bought it, a year old, from the lad next door who had just passed his test and rushed off to buy a big Kawasaki; it was a step on the ladder of increasing power since I had worked my way up through Honda 50s, 70s, 90s and now this.... unfettered (or slightly fettered) power and the world was my ...  Read the complete review

Bought Dec last year for a modest price, this wee bike had little to prove ...except that the heaps of praise from every review suggested something special... The fit 'n finish is 'fair' for a '99 bike, with loose minor components here 'n there, some areas of discolouration & plenty of surface rust on chrome bits. ...  Read the complete review

I recieved this beautifal little scarlet machine within hours of passing my CBT on a horride Kawasaki with a dodgy clutch. And straight away I was mesmerised by the handling and ease of use. This bike is the perfect introduction to Geared Motorcycles. If you are fed up of Mopeds and Scooters but are either unable or unwilling to get a big ...  Read the complete review

I had been looking for a good cheap to buy/fuel and maintain cummuter bike for my 18 mile round trip to work. Having being recently forced to commute on my ZX6R, it has become a nightmare, so the sad decision in the end means she has to go! Having seen the reviews on the CG, I had my heart set on a new one. I decided to go to my local Honda ...  Read the complete review

I have the 2002 version. The bike is simple "it does exactly what it say on the tin", it is difficult to fault. It's mpg is good, cheap to purchase/Insure etc etc. Before buying i read the opinions and was a little confused over performance. Clearly this isn't the main reason for buying a CG125 but still if your ...  Read the complete review

This was where it all began for me. Just hit 17, the world was my oyster. I took all my savings and headed straight for Motorcycle City, and got myself a beautiful (well it was at the time), red CG125. I fell in love with it instantly. At just under £1400, the CG is an absolute bargain. It has high quality craftsmanship, and baing a honda ...  Read the complete review

This is my second, with a 12 year gap, and it nice too see the basic design has not changed. My first one, I past my test on, then did 14,000 miles over 3 years, and the only thing that went wrong was one spark plug (I suspect this could be down to a neglectful owner who knew nothing about maintenance bar the oil changes, adjusting the ...  Read the complete review

I bought a CG125 as a 2nd bike 2 years ago. It's predessessor was an elderly Yamaha townmate (C90 Clone), and after the bouncy somewhat dangerous charactaristics of the Yammy, the CG125 was loverly! The bike was a 1996 N-reg, looking rather scruffy for the age, but with a new MOT and the right price, I decided to take it on, in the ...  Read the complete review

I hadn't decided until I went into a bike showroom and saw a black/dark grey CG-125 revolving on a turntable,from that moment on I knew I had to have that bike... This is a good,cheap,reliable and economic basic ...  Read the complete review
