2007 Honda CGL125 from South Africa
Summary:
Super cheap, reliable Honda quality
Faults:
Battery stopped working @19000, luckily the CGL125 is equipped with a kick starter and runs fine without a battery present.
Chain and sprocket finally gave in after 21000kms.
General Comments:
The CGL125 is by far the most economical bike on earth; 55km/litre!
Zips through traffic like a hot knife through butter, but struggles to keep up with traffic on highways.
Vibrating and a thin cushioned seat makes for a rugged ride, but all in all it's quite comfortable when compared to other bikes in its class.
Handles like a bicycle, no surprises, yet fun to ride.
Rocker style rotary gearbox takes a bit of getting used to, but is incredibly strong and simple.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
