2005 Silver Honda CG 125-4 motorcycle crossing motorway bridge in Greater Manchester, UK
The Honda CG 125 was launched way back in 1975 and served as the ultimate commuter bike for over 30 years. It's a 125cc learner-friendly motorbike and sold in huge numbers, amassing ten million sales worldwide. Nowadays it makes a great starting point for a life on two wheels, or budget urban commuter with low running costs and typical Honda reliability. It’s also become synonymous with custom motorcycle culture, with many now being snaffled up to become cafe racer and bobber projects. The Honda CG 125 goes, it stops, it goes again the next day - simple as that. It’s quite literally the Spam of biking; a bit downmarket, stodgy and uninspiring, but ultimately does exactly what it says on the tin. In today’s tech-laden motorcycle market it’s a breath of fresh air, with its tiny proportions and no frills approach making it unthreatening and approachable for almost any rider. Simplistic, minimalist and easy to use, they are a doddle to work on and even easier to ride. More than a commuter, they are also an excellent beginner's bike - with chunky, robust controls and plenty of spares available on the used market, thanks to the huge quantity of bikes sold across its 33-year lifetime.
