Yup I can see them now, and I must say its a nice looking CG. Not bad at all. So don't go putting it down, or let other people diss it ok mate. Its a bike, don't let anything become you and it. 
At the end of the day, your learning, and you don't want to be spending 1000's on a 125, that may be crashed etc. Better off getting a cheap and reliable bike like a CG, learning on that, then selling and getting a larger bike when pass tests etc.
Have fun mate and drive carefully.

I had a cg as my first bike, paid £350 for it, it did its intended job well, if and hopefully you won't but if you ever drop it and the footpeg bends check under the engine. Hopefully they have changed how the foot pegs mount but if not the bar under the engine bends and cracks the sump! 
Have fun on it, I rode mine to wales and everything!  |

Pretty muuch the same i had
anyone who thinks they are crap 
There are far worst bikes to start off, clean it up and you'll easyly get the same or more when you sell it off!
In fact i'm doing one up in my garrage, not quite as good condition though

And I should say; this bike is the one I asked whether to buy in this post:
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=47213&highlight=
which I probably wouldn't have had the guts to go for it without everyone here telling me to! So thanks to everyone on this site, without you I would still be bikeless!!  |

dropped mine only once at almost standstill.. (frickin gravel)
total cost...
 Brake lever £5 (half of it was left, gave it a few weeks before i put a new one on )
I wish i had the money+space to keep it as a spare
You'll enjoy it anyway, just keep the brakes in top condition at all times...
(Interestingly i saw a CG125.... POLICE BIKE! yep, so anyone rideing through eastwood better watch yo' ass! )

I had a cg125 for about 6 months before it got nicked, was absolutely indestructable, I could not have possibly asked for a better bike to learn on!
Some filthy twats stole her though, and smashed her to pieces  |

Where's the option for 'i dont like it, but it's your bike, and you seem to like it which is all that matters' ?

What rubbish! 
You've got three bikes and you're learning
Besides, If i'd have followed the advice to get a cheap 125, I'd still be riding a cheap 125 that I hated, rather than a more expensive 125 that I still love riding after 15 months (where did that "get bored of it in a month or two" crap come from anyway?). Yeah it's more expensive to fix if you crash, but ducatis are expensive to repair too, so maybe i should get a GPZ instead of a 748 for my dream bike? ... Who wants to ride around on a cheap bike that they don't like thinking "it's okay, my NEXT bike will be one I actually like owning" ?
Nice CG dude, looks to be in good nick, at a good price too .
