Honda CG125E - One of the last Japanese built.

[PandaSelecta]

While my foot is repairing itself (12 weeks and still wrecked), I have been clearing out all my projects. As the Reliant Robin is now in the hands of an enthusiast, I can finally get to the CG125E. The pan is to sell it on, but onto trying to start it this afternoon, it started straight away, and now I am in two minds.

So here it is, and it either stays and becomes a side project, or I sell it and concentrate on the Pandas and Lada.

The CG is a nice little bike. I've had several, and a Chineese clone of one. If it were mine I'd keep it. If you were local and it was cheap I could be tempted, but I really have too many projects as it is.

They still make good money, is that an early one or one of the bikes David Silver brought in? They are Honda's but were destined for another region so some bits are different (and it makes it a curse word ordering spares if you aren't sure), they might have had a slightly different gearbox arrangement to the normal UK bikes but its been years since I had anything to do with them.

All I know is that it's a 1985 125-E 6volt. The reg plate is the original and says Alan "something" of York.

I PMed you about this, but you chose to ignore me entirely...

I don't have any PMs from you

Belting little bikes - I had one years ago. Local commuting was great - going any distance wasn't so good, it would run out of steam anywhere above 60mph and when it came to a hill it was embarrassing. Mind you it had done 40k by then.

Got a soft spot for these - I sat my test on one. Felt strange on the open road section of the test giving it large to get up to 60.

Not just saying it Tony, I haven't got any messages from you...

[mylittletony]

Hmph, that's frustrating...

I was expressing an interest on behalf of a buddy. Is it for sale or have you decided to keep it?

[fuldatramp]

I did my test on a cg125, I loved the lessons and breezed the bike test, my Chinese clone (jailing JH125G) was not a patch on the CG, if I was wanting a commuter or even a solid little plodder I would snatch your hand off,

When I did my training I was using my own bike while the rest of the group were on CG125, we got to the dual carriageway with me in the lead on my RD125LC at which point the instructor said ok now lets see you ride at speed, 70mph followed very shortly for me, the instructor radio'd through to say slow down and wait for the others to catch up in about a mile or so.....

Actually, If anybody has a Honda Cub and fancies swapping let me know

Definitely selling it, so anybody interested for £275?
