Might be a stupid question but.....

CG125 Original engine OR Japanese copy of CG125 engine?

I have someone that will straight swap me his almost new cg copy engine for my original 80s honda engine.

Do or dont?
Ta.

Don't, it will be a Chinese copy not a Jap copy.

Original and best keep your old one.

AGREED. Plus why would someone want to swap their engine for yours? unless he knows there is something up with his.....

Err, who in JAPAN would 'copy' the CG engine?!?!
Its a Chinky or Korean 'COPY' at best, licence made.
And if he JUST wants it to 'look' like a 'propper' Cg engine, then there are plenty of genuine CG motor covers with 'Honda' emblazoned on the castings new or used on e-bay, for not a lot of money!
Why?
Unless you have something 'better', and he thinks its 'wasted' taxing around off road?

A quick look on ebay of low milage chinese bikes up for spares or repair gives you the answer. It wont always be that way though, japanese bikes were once considered cheap crap. But for the time being keep your bullet proof honda item.
