Time To Let The CG Go?

[Mark65]

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=299900&highlight=

I have just put new Honda cush drives in and a new Honda C&S and re greased the swing arm again, does £850 sound like a fair price for it?.
Yes I will put in sale section when its defo going.

I got £900 for my 05 plate with similar mileage last year. Yours looks a bit tidier.

I would keep it as a work horse but looking at the other thread and how clean it is you don't do that many miles.

If you can buy the kwak without losing the Honda, you'll appreciate it even more. I haven't met anyone that's sold a cg125 and not suffered remorse later on down the line. Insurance will not really be an issue, as multi bike policies are cheap enough, tax is peanuts for keeping one, and you'll never buy a bike that takes all of 50p to maintain and replace any part on it. Ok a slight exaggeration, but you have been warned sir. The sellers remorse curse is upon you.

Hi
ER5 was a bit rough for the price, only worth about half of what he wanted, was in Honda and they had a mint cbr 600 on a 54 plate 15k, scott oiler and heated grips, looked almost new for £3000, but it was too much. Im not rushing in to it, Im sure something will turn up .

I can't, just can't see me letting go of my CG, it sits under cover, battery topped up regularly, and happens to be in great condition, 2007 year and 5500 miles on the clock.

Feck, I even let it have fully synth oil, only a litre at a time mind.

CG goes out two or three times a year max, I have a motor cycle carrier tow hitch and I keep thinking I'm gonna make use of it for an extended car excursion\trip.

Way I see it is that it is only worth pushbike money, costs me nowt but tax and a little extra insurance on my other bike policy.

CG stays, cause I know I would regret selling it.

Out of interest, if you liked the CG125, how come you're going for an ER5 and not a CB500?

Re: price, I think that's very fair. I sold my 1998 shed of a CG125 for £600 and it was cosmetically fucked, good runner though.

[Mark65]

CB500 seem to cost silly money, ideally I would keep the cg for shit weather and winter commuting and have that minty CBR600 for dry days and summer but funds wont allow this so its something that will do both. The ZZR600 01 is still available 20k on it but needs shims doing and new rear tyre and downpipes, I spoke to the last owner who said he would have kept it but the bike shop wanted £1100 for all the work so he traded it in, he said he has had it in triple figures and owned it for a few years, no problems with the 2nd gear, this I can get for £800, it was stood for about 8 months but started straight away once battery was charged, I could keep the CG while doing the jobs on this, only a few chips on forks and dizzy cover on the left? and a slightly rusty shock spring but has a hugger on it.
I thought about this as snoosnoo has shown a guide for the shims.
I quite like this bike and its no great loss if i bin it.
