As a starter bike, riding on a CBT...what bike would recommend for me to look at?
I'm about 6'2 and a large build...by the time I do a CBT, it would probably be used for commuting ever so often as well as weekend rides.
Are they both the same size, have you got any positives and negatives of each, what do you think looks better?
Cheers,
Mark |

I know nothing about football, but I expect the Brazilian team is better than the Indian one. Same applies to Honda 125s.
Oh, as well as the facts stated above. Part of the charm of a CG is that they refuse to die, but if they do begin to show signs of imminent death, you can always seem to bring them back to life with a Fisher Price My First Tools Set. |

Lol, Honda CG 125 = 15, Honda CBF 125 = 3...seems pretty one sided doesn't it?
The CG shape is definately growing on me...at first I thought it looked pretty plain and boring, but since looking at more and more photos I'm starting to love it.
Plus, if it's as easy as its being made out to be to fix and work on...I guess it would be perfect for a starter bike. Then I could move on to a more sporty bike after I feel experienced and confident enough.
Thanks for all your help so far, |

Carbs an pushrods are old technology, I'd have the CBF more economical and better looking and I dare say more reliable.
Now to be karma bombed byt the CG brigade. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Can't speak for the CBF but the CG has 30 years of experience and spares behind it, while the CBF is only a few years old. The CG has proven itself worthy over those years and I certainly love mine |

as a proud CG owner i though i would jst add my opinion
My CG is 14 years old has done over 31k miles and still runs like a dream, it has only had minor work done on it such as the valve clearance which was a 20min job at my local garage and cost peanuts, and the usual things like service,breaks new tires etc...
to be honest the bike has cost me very little in maintainance and it sips fuel. and it still get 60mph without much of a problem (even got it to 72mph coming back from gloucester the other week )
Anyway i got the CG as it was cheap and it was never going to be my bike forever and is just to help me get my A2 licence. once that is done im selling it which will be a sad day as ive grown to love my little red rocket lol |

its nice to hear someone say that tbh i was always gonna keep my cg after passing my test but everyone else said "why? just sell it u wont need it anymore" but it only takes me 10mins to get to work on my cg and cost me nothing at all to run ( i even boast about it when people down the pub talk about how much tax/insurance they pay for there bmw's or whatever lol ) i ws gonna sell it to help pay for a new bike but for what i would get for it compared to what it cost to keep on the road i may as well keep it for commuting and save up for a bigger bike. i mean come on..15quid a year to tax and 7quid a month insurance and i only need to put around 7-9quid a month in it for fuel if i dont go for weekend rides and stuff
super cheap\
ps by "bmw" im talking about cars not bikes, im not about to slag off other bikers just referring to them moaning about how much it cost them to commute short distances in ar car versus the low cost of a 125. and i know allot of people who have bought a small bike for just that reason |

I think it works as a provisional on a 50cc bike, but to ride a 125, you'll have to take a CBT.
Unless they've changed that law since I passed my CBT. |
