General Comments

I ' ve owned a Honda CG125W for just under a year and I have out on my bike pretty much every day since buying the bike!
It had 30k on the clock and iv done about 8k in the last year without a single problem. I have serviced the bike every 3000 miles, changing the oil etcbut that ' s about it.
I ' ve done all the servicing myself so its cost me nothing but the parts. The servicing is really simple and doesn ' t take much time to do.
Never had a problem starting the bike no matter how cold it is.
Everything is cheap about owning this bike. Fuel (90-110mpg depending on usage) Tax ( £15) insurance ( £100 fully comp 26, male) Parts (cost me less than £100 for a full service which included changed all the cables and brake pads).
The main head light is pretty pants but you can see all you need to see. Top speed is that of any 4-stroke 125 (55-65 depending on the mood of the bike).
Some people will tell you that the CG is not a ' real 'motorbike and a bike of a hack which I truly do not believe. As long as you don ' t mind the top speed this bike is pretty much prefect in my eyes. It will get you anywhere you want to get without the worry of getting a million speed tickets on the motorway.
Owning my little CG has saved me so much time and money that I can ' t knock it and with the price of fuel going the way it is can you?
All in all it ' s a lovely little bike to know you don ' t have to worry about the price of servicing it every day. It will get you anyway you want to go with a nice comfy seat. It ' s gotten me to work every day this year for just £5 a week (25miles a day) which I am more than happy with.
Hope this has helped just a little.
