Is a CG125 going to be good enough for this type of adventure?

I had a 1973 honder cg 125 and it was bomb proof. I abused the life out of it taking every off road short cut i could never taxed or mot'd it sure I even used veg oil in it at one point! Even got robbed 3 times and came back working everytime just missing more and more parts. Unfortunately the 4th time it got robbed they burnt it out 😢

hi, I travel on a cb125f 2022, which may not be as good as a cg, but I also consider it a good machine for slow, comfortable, low-cost and fun travel on any surface. Big machines have somehow lost their magic for me. In the future, I would also like to go on a really long route like you are planning, across half the world, I will follow you, I can also recommend the travelmoto channel, a crazy Greek who also traveled from Greece to Spain on a cb125f. I wish you many happy kilometers.

Thanks for the well wishes! The CB125F is a great bike for sure though and a lovely machine for some adventures. Hope you get to go on some longer trips soon

I just bought a CB 125 tuff I'm going to be using it to ride around Kenya, from the coast to Western Kenya. Going to be a fun adventure going to be recording everything

I ride a 1996 CG every day and I love it! However, I have a larger engine next to it (Bmw K75RT). Just a little advice. you should raise your front mudguard because with off-road tires, the earth will get stuck in it. Kiss from France ✌️

I'm just watching your video now! Thanks for the advice, I'll consider modifying it. So far off road it hasn't been an issue even in some very soft mud I hope you have many more km and adventures on your CG 😎✌️

Hi, really good choice , i get one too, this bike engine was made for law maintnance need, Japan made it for Asian workers who need bike without maintnance (we know we should do maintnance to keep this bike for a long life) i will enjo to see confirmation of his fiability... this engine is an air cool system then it need to take breaks along the trip . wish you good trip to you and your wife guys and your CGs❤👍🏍

Looking forward to the great adventures on the mighty Honda CG! I got my license on one many years ago when I still lived in Europe. Sadly, there aren't any CGs in the US but I am trying to import one. I have a cheap chinese CG clone but it's a far cry from the real thing unfortunately. Your bikes have round headlights, were these made by Honda Brazil?

@ILikeMotorbikes

8 ай бұрын

Thanks Ben! A clone is a nice idea but the real deal is always better. Good luck getting one! Yeah these were still manufactured by Honda in Brazil, its just the last version before they replaced the CG with the CBF125. Our model is the ES (meaning electric start) that ran from 2004-2008

Wish all the best . My dream is to ride from here to Pk
