You just have to love the old CG125
I swear that they are bomb proof, my one was bought from e-Bay for just under £300 and it was the best money I ever spent. I learned how to use the road, I dropped it and it was fine, I ran it everywhere and even did some long runs on it. My first ride was terrifying, my last on it was last week and to be honest, it can out run bigger bikes in the town centre because it is just so small and light. Also I get to burn off the chav kids on their manky scooters.

I have my 650 now, but to be honest, there is a gentle and simple pleasure in riding my 125, he may not be a super fast sports bike, but I know that he will always get me to where I need to be. I am thinking about stripping and rebuilding him, so that he will be all nice and shiny again too, but I kind of like his shitkicker look.

Bless the Honda CG125 and all who ride them.

Have a clicky too.

Its well worth keeping the 125
If you get used to the 650 too much, ride the CG for a week and it'll feel like a new un again!
A mate of mine built a cafe racer out of a CB125 (the one before the CG). It is tiny, loud and beautifully made. We had a run in February which he led, and promptly disappeared up windy back roads leaving two beemwers and my 400 far behind.
