CG125 (1993 - 2008) review
While it's never going to set the world alight, the CG rarely causes any dramas either
Unlikely to be at the top of many 17-year-olds’ wish lists, nevertheless, the CG125 is an excellent option.
The choice of nearly every training school the length and breadth of the UK, these little Hondas are well known for being reliable, hardy little buggers.
Now with an electric starter, pillion grab rails and a bit of a facelift, the CG plods delivering parcels, pizzas and new licences all the world over.
