Hey,

Just wanted to find out...I'm about 6"2 and 17 and a half stone. Am I wayyyyy too big for a CG125?

Never sat on one before. Need to try and go to a couple of dealers to sit on a few different bikes.

Cheers,

Mark

Chassis;
# Dimensions - (LxWxH) 1,982 x 736 x 1,067mm
# Wheelbase - 1,297mm
# Caster Angle - 26� 30'
# Trail - 89mm
# Turning Radius - 1.9m
# Seat Height - 781mm
# Ground Clearance - 173mm
# Dry Weight - 114kg
# Kerb Weight - 126kg (F:55.4kg; R: 70.6kg)
# Max. Carrying Capacity - 180kg
# Loaded Weight - 266kg (F: 82kg; R: 184kg)


180KG = 28.345148 stone.

I once took a pillion on my CG and while it was perfectly fine the acceleration was slower and when we hit an incredibly steep steep hill we didn't manage faster than 15MPH. Still, you'll be fine.

It will work, you will just look silly.

Oh yeah and the tank badge will say Honda rather than Yamaha. Laughing

RACISM DISCLAIMER - This remark is intended not in a malicious manner but in a jovial one, to illustrate the robust nature and load carrying capacity of the HONDA CG125

Have you seen TV programs where they go through India or Bangladesh and other similar places and there are probably 4 or 5 people on one? Sometimes there are as many as 6 people on them.

I weigh 18 stone and I've ridden with a few other CG's with presumably lighter people on and there's never been any major performance difference at all. Basically you'll be fine Smile

I fell for that when I first posted the picture. It's hidden by the kid's shoe, which is almost perfect camouflage against the step behind.

The kids shoe / down frame situation is the best optical illusion that I've seen for years. Laughing

Ok, cool...thanks for your replies. Will have to sit on one and see how silly it feels with my height then or whether it's too cramped.

Lol, I really did think that kid's foot had been cut off in the photo...I was worried for a minute.

Thanks again,

Lol, ok thank you.

Yea, any pics you've got would be good...if you've got a favourite pic, feel free to post it up. The more I see, the more I'll probably love the bike and want to save for one! Smile
