Chinese CG? 55 plate, not quite the same as my 07.

Japanese market CG. I had a 2001 exactly the same as that. Been told a fair amount where imported by David Silvers.

Of course it could be a Chinese copy. But if it is the same as mine, I had no quality issues in the year I owned it.

Square headlamp and a rev counter; that'll be the 'Heritage' model.

I think it's a "real" Honda in the sense that the Honda branding is real. I dunno what I'd answer to the insurance question "is it an import?" though.

However the important question has not been asked.


Is it shit? Yes. Should you buy it? No.

I am uncertain about the origins of the bike. Everything is stamped with the Honda logo on it.

...Well *thats* re-assuring then.

I do like how he describes having 2 gaping chasms in the side of the tank as "There is a dent in the side of the tank."

The gear sequence is shift up for up shift down for down


My bike is speshul, it shifts up for down, and down for up, however it does have to invert the gravitational forces of the universe to do so.

Just mooching on ebay at work, happy with my own cg, just thought it looked odd.
