- Honda sold ten million of these bikes worldwide.
It was produced between 1976 and 2008. This machine is an early
example.
The model was originally manufactured in Japan, but production moved to
Brazil in 1985, where this machine was made.
The CG125 is powered by a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) four-stroke, overhead
valve, single-cylinder engine that was hardly changed over the years.
It it is an easy bike to control and operate.
Some dismiss it as grey porridge but it’s all a matter of expectation -
mindset even. You can have a lot of fun with a bike like this.
One of the most underrated little bikes ever. No firecracker but always fired up. They got you to work and home year in year out. Fabulous memories. Thank you Honda ❤
I own a CG 125 2018 model I am glad that this bike is still made and sold in pakistan
This is the kind of reviews UA-cam is starving for, Quick, Thorough, Full of information, A perfect sound track and a lots of fun and entertaining to watch ❤❤.
This is the type of guy who has an allotment that he tends on sundays, wears slippers round the house, drink 7 cups of tea a day, and reads the paper.
Which you call third world country is the base of the wealth of those so called 1st world country.
It's not because it was made for 3rd world countries, only! They like that bike because of the cheap revision, reliability, as you mentioned, and it is good. I also piloted an modern cv, wich is 160cc nowadays. In 2016, Honda is producing this bikes with more force. 125cc bikes are still avaible, but fuel Injected only, wich is awesome. My country is not too poor to bee a 3rd world country, but there is a lot of riders that have the most recent version of this bike. Because it works, it's cheap, and do what you need to. Want to run? Buy an sport bike. These bikes are not intended to run, anyway. But today, compared to the 1985 ones, they actually runs pretty fast, specially the 160cc cg's.
I had one 1985 being 16 years old, now having a Bandit 1250 but still feel attached to CG 125. Fantastic fun and best memories still alive from it.
My first bike in 93. That exhaust sound bring back lot of good memories. Thanks for the nice vid
Mind that cowpat John! If only all we had to worry about was a cowpat in the road! What a great video, I grew up in the 70's, never had a CG myself but a few mates did, I had a couple of XL100s. Life was so much simpler then and so were the bikes, I'd love to have one now and do a long backroads tour on it...
Great Grandpapa told me about the first time one of these contraptions entered his village. It was driven by an enigmatic gentleman in a top hat.
The Honda CG 125 is still the best selling motercyle in my home country of Pakistan. It's considered as a manly bold macho bike. It's still manufactured there but it's not Japanese, it's Chinese. The engine and spare parts are imported form china and are assembled in Pakistan. The company Zongshen and Lifan supply honda with the parts. And are as god in quality as the Japanese. There is even a CG125 special edition model with
The bike I started on and still currently use. 11 months later, great little bike.
in the Philippines, that bike is mainly used for Commercial Sidecar use
Just bought one two days ago just after watching your video. She’s a 1987 Brazil made black beauty that needs a bit of love and some small electrical fixes. Still on factory tires and not ridden since 1997. Looks really cute beside her bigger sister NC750X in my garage.
I have a 2005 cg125 but has many problems now. Just picked up a 1980 one to make it my daily. Honestly love these bikes so much❤
Glad to see a Honda cg 125 in a foreign country.
i have 2003 Cg 125.
I have a pretty funny CG memory. About 10 years ago when I was about 18yo I was travelling home on my CG 125 from my job at a pub around 2AM on North Yorkshire single lane roads in cold winter. About half way home my poorly maintained CG broke down about 4 miles from my house, I was stuck in the middle of nowhere on a cold winter pitch black night, a decent distance from anywhere, I thought I had a good chance to be lost in the dark and cold and end up dead! The electric starter did nothing but the kickstart got it going for a few seconds until it dwindled out again, so I think it was the battery or alternator causing there to be no spark in the plugs. I managed to get some movement by constantly kicking the kickstart and generating a small charge to get me going for a few seconds at a time. I opened most of my protective winter clothes due to the heat generating work, so I was a knackered kid wearing a posh dining type suit, constantly kick starting a CG home with a dull intermitting front light in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, and in the icey cold. Its the bad times which you remember most fondly and my faithful CG got me home.
Thanks for sharing this. Many cheap bikes in my country are based on this Honda model but have little reviews. Your video did a great job discussing the benefits.
Oh my, you made me smile so much when you said "No need for electric starters here" Nice review :D
