Do you mean CBF or CBR? Both are out of production, so no, they will not "become" the new CG125. The CBF125 already has that sewn up, although I doubt we'll see many two-decade old examples kicking around.
If you mean the CBR250, a lot of those for sale on eBay look to be low mileage pre-regers or demonstrators. The 250 has been canned, the CBR300 has been announced and delayed, so what you're seeing is dealers trying to offload their stock of a been-and-gone bike while it's still worth something. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Well... maybe. Just be aware that it's a bike with a dwindling market as the last of the 25kW licensees upgrades and new licensees need to pass a test on a (de facto) 500cc+ bike to an A2.
I believe that the Inazuma has sold reasonably well, I imagine because it's an unaspirational commuter that might appeal to someone who has a full license but chooses to ride something smaller.
The CBR250, well, if you can ride that, you can ride a CBR500. Given the small price premium, why wouldn't you? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

As I`ve said in the past, for me personally it`s not about engine size or power.
Why wouldn't I ride a CBR 500? ? yer I`d give it a go.
But if I`m parting with my own money and a 250 comes up at a cheap price, guess where my money is going?
CBR AND CBF, YBR .Inazuma in the 250 guise would not be my choice as my main bike, however I could happily see any one of them replacing the CG that`s missing from my stable of bikes
