General Comments
I started a new job, and part of my package was a £5,000 annual vehicle allowance. So I went onto Google and discovered that the cheapest and quickest form of transport in London was the Honda CG125, so I went and bought a second hand one for £800, and I haven't looked back since.

I use the bike for a 18 mile round trip to work and back. I have totally abused the bike, thrashed it, been knocked off 4 times, had it run over by a BMW X5, stolen by kids then dumped, but it just doesn't give up on me. The best £800 I have ever spent.

Jonathan Kelly's Response to 244493_gilesfenton's Review

Written on: 09/08/2006

I would admit it is economical and cheap but it is also slow and small its your neck but I found it to be a horrible little bike.
<br/>
<br/>Performance was very poor from a single cylinder 124cc 4 stoke with 2 valves per cylinder claimed at 11 bhp but they must be very small horses.
<br/>
<br/>Seat is tiny so for town use only and pulling onto the motor way slip road and it slowed down it is very dangerous at 50mph and that is about it as far as performance goes.
<br/>
<br/>Drum brakes are only just adequate. You will be treated with contempt by other road users and yes they do own the road as far as they are concerned.
