Introduction
For over 25 years since its first introduction in 1976, Honda’s compact,
rugged and always reliable CG125 has steadfastly won the world’s respect and
admiration as one of the greatest all-round transporters, commuters and fun
bikes in the compact 125cc class. A bike that gets the job done without fuss
and bother, running reliably for years on end while requiring a bare minimum
of care and maintenance. From west to east and north to south, on every
continent of the world, the Honda CG125 has been a powerful force in putting
the world on wheels.
Eschewing exotic styling and gaudy displays of flashy bits in favour of basic
solid performance and design, the CG125 has always provided the fundamental
necessities sought in a good, low-cost motorcycle. Those being strong,
versatile performance, ample riding comfort and convenience
and—above all—bulletproof reliability no matter what roads it’s called
upon to travel. So, it comes as little surprise that in virtually any
long-term evaluation to be found, in any language and however the points are
given, the CG125 always comes out on top with high marks for lasting quality
and long-term satisfaction.
In fact, the CG125’s low cost and durability have also made it a popular
vehicle for use in riding schools, where its compact proportions and easy,
forgiving operation instil new learner riders with a much needed feeling of
confidence in their abilities early in their training, while injecting a
large dose of fun into their introduction to the exhilarating joys of the
sport.
One of the motorcycling world’s best-kept secrets is the fact that the CG125
is also quite a powerful and quick-performing riding machine for its
displacement class, and even experienced riders are often unexpectedly
surprised by its peppy acceleration and agile, sure-footed handling. And
what it may lack in top speed and power it more than makes up for in economy,
dependability and sheer indomitable spirit. Still, for all its many points of
merit, it’s been many years since the venerable CG125 has seen much more than cosmetic changes, and while
the years have certainly proved that there was little wrong with the CG in its
current configuration, a significant upgrade of the features it has on offer
was long overdue.
Compiling a list of user comments and requests gleaned over the years, Honda’s
CG125 development team set about bringing this well-loved small standard into
the modern age with a choice selection of improvements to its performance and
ease of use that would serve to greatly enhance its perceived value, while
maintaining its strong appeal as one of the best all-round small bikes on the
planet.
Development Concept
With its attractions of low cost and easy operation, the CG125 has always been
targeted mainly toward entry riders and urban commuters, although its charms
has been much more widely accepted by riders of all ages and tastes looking for
a light and entertaining motorcycle, either as a second bike or as their
primary mode of transportation. Still, the CG has noticeably lacked a few
features that have become synonymous with ‘real’ motorcycles, and this
absence has left this sturdy and dependable little bike looking somehow
incomplete compared to its stable mates. Primary among these shortcomings have been its lack of both a c
onvenient starter motor and a more powerful front disc brake, and these were
the first things focused on in its new redesign.
For its new 2004 iteration, the new CG125 was first outfitted with an all-new
electric starter which extends one-touch starting ease to this popular machine
and totally eliminates its earlier kickstart lever. It was also given a
lightweight and responsive new hydraulic front disc brake for the stronger and
more confident braking control that many riders have asked for.
Engine performance was also re-examined, and the CG not only receives
improvements to its overall starting ease accompanied by smoother operation
over a wider range of running conditions, but also a small boost in its range
of useable power. Emissions levels were also carefully monitored and brought
well within compliance with current EURO-2 regulations to ensure easy
adaptability to all European pollution controls, as well as cleaner, more
environmentally friendly operation that will win friends everywhere.
Of course, styling is another big attraction in a new motorcycle, and the new
CG125 leaps to the head of its class with eye-catching new lines and quality
details that combine to give it a crisp, modern look that’s right at home
wherever it’s ridden or parked. All these improvements add up to a much more
complete and fully featured motorcycle that will surely attract even more
riders, new and old, to the CG125’s friendly offering of riding enjoyment,
and guarantee many years of reliable fun and satisfaction ahead.
Styling
Visible at first glance, the new CG125 projects a much sleeker and more modern
form than its most recent predecessor, with well-considered design touches
added to give it a more impressive feel of quality and ‘real motorcycle’
fit and finish. Still the same slim and always friendly lightweight, the new CG
features more cleanly integrated lines, which flow back from the bulge of its
new fuel tank to the angled edges of its sidecovers and on to the knife-edge
tip of its tail cowl in a sleek assembly of attractive curves.
Taking styling cues from several of the larger machines in Honda’s streetbike
lineup, the new CG is also built for comfort, with 16mm taller handlebars
complementing its modestly stepped tandem seat to provide a more upright and
natural riding position that enhances riding ease and remains comfortable for
long riding hours on end.
The CG125’s new fuel tank features a sleeker and sharper ‘aero’ profile that
blends into the shape of its new seat for a smooth, unified look and enhanced
riding comfort. The fuel tank’s larger capacity (up from 12.8 to 13.5 litres)
also extends the CG’s touring range for longer days of riding fun between fill
-ups. The front of the seat now wraps around the rear of the fuel tank to
further enhance riding comfort and rider manoeuvrability.
Pillion passenger comfort on the CG125 hasn’t been overlooked either. The
broad rear pillion section of the seat is surrounded on either side by
conveniently positioned steel tube grab rails, and the CG’s pillion passenger
foot pegs, once attached to the swingarm on earlier versions, are now mounted
on attractive cast aluminium brackets for a big boost in passenger riding
comfort, not to mention a higher grade of overall fit and finish.
A larger-diameter round headlight and more compact, modern-looking indicators
emphasise the CG125’s ties to the larger machines in the Honda lineup while
providing a well-lit view of the night-time road ahead. At the rear, a
brilliant new multi-reflector taillight is cleanly integrated into the
attractive knife-edge lines of its new tail, providing both an attention-
getting display for other road users and a further visual contribution to
its stronger and more convincing ‘real motorcycle’ looks.
Colouring Concept
The new CG125 takes to the streets of Europe and beyond in three attractive new
colour variations that accentuate its attractive new lines with the deep sheen
of quality and style. Leading the way is a brightly shimmering metallic silver
that complements the chrome, silver and black of the CG’s engine and chassis
to present a boldly modern visage.
Other colours include a vivid pearlescent blue, which projects a lively and
sporty image of riding fun, and a deep pearlescent red that exudes a more
stately and mature look of understated quality.

2. Pearl Twister Blue
3. Pearl Carnival Red
Engine
The CG125’s rugged and reliable air-cooled overhead valve single
cylinder engine has certainly proven itself over years of use and countless
roads travelled with unruffled ease and total rider confidence. Its simple,
time-tested design has won lasting fame for providing generations of riders
with easy operation and rock-solid dependability, not to mention little in the
way of maintenance hassles and operating expenses. Even today, the CG’s
engine continues to be showered with praise by satisfied owners in magazines
and internet user surveys in all the languages of Europe, with many owners
bragging that their ten or even twenty year-old CG125 runs just as well today
as the day they bought it.
The new 2004 CG125 features essentially the same air-cooled OHV engine
configuration and 5-speed transmission as before, but has received several
additions that increase not only its operating ease, but also its overall
performance. A detailed examination of the engine’s power characteristics and
adjustments to its carburation helped achieve a slightly stronger, more
responsive and more widely useable range of performance, while other detailed
modifications build on this engine’s well-established strength and reliability.
New Push-Button Electric Starter
Already quick to start and easy to ride, the new CG125 now takes its
operating ease a big step forward with the addition of the effortless
convenience of one-touch electric starting. Now the simple push of a button and
twist of the throttle is all it takes to bring the CG’s engine to life. Even
frigid cold-weather starts have been made swift and reliable with the addition
of a battery-powered carburettor heater that switches on automatically at
temperatures below 10° Celsius to prevent icing and its related effects on
starting and operating performance. A new, larger-capacity Maintenance-Free
battery provides plenty of juice for cranking over the engine, and a hot spark
to get up and running quickly. Increased AC generator output (nearly doubled
from 92 to 155W) ensures everything runs flawlessly while maintaining the
battery at the peak of its charge. The elimination of the engine’s kickstart
mechanism also provides a cleaner, less cluttered look that almost invites
one to make excuses to go places just for the pleasure of riding.
High Efficiency for Low Emissions
The engine’s inherently efficient 4-stroke overhead valve design keeps
mileage high and emissions low. A new Air Suction Valve (ASV) ensures cleaner,
more complete burning of exhaust gasses for a further contribution to the
engine’s low emissions. Exhaust feeds out of an attractive new chrome-plated
exhaust system featuring a sharp megaphone-style silencer that provides an
exhilarating note for maximised riding enjoyment.
Chassis
The CG125’s simple yet rugged diamond configuration frame has proven
itself over the years by offering a solid base for swift, responsive handling
and control. Bolted solidly into place between the front downtube and the
swingarm pivot area, the CG’s engine acts as a stressed member to enhance
frame rigidity and assure crisply responsive handling performance. A slight
adjustment in steering head angle results in a 6mm longer wheelbase than the
current model, contributing to the CG’s unruffled feeling of confident
control at all speeds, whether nervous beginner or seasoned expert.
Sure-Handling Suspension Components
The CG125’s suspension has also won respect and admiration over the
years for providing a reliably higher level of comfort and handling ease than
often available in this class of road bikes. Its compliant 27mm hydraulic front
fork provides responsive control and a smoothly assured ride in virtually all
riding situations. Its 115mm of compliant, well-damped axle travel really soaks
up the bumps, to keep handling easy and confident on even rough secondary
roads. Under the sides of the seat, a rugged pair of conventional spring-loaded
dampers soak up the bumps to ensure excellent comfort for one or two. Easy
spring preload adjustments can be carried out with the CG’s included tools,
with five steps of adjustment to match a wide range of riding load
requirements.
New Front Disc Brake
The new CG125’s front wheel is stopped by a responsive, new 240mm
hydraulic disc brake featuring a compact single-piston calliper gripping a
slim drilled rotor between its sintered metal pads. This lightweight new disc
brake provide enhanced braking performance and confident control for both
hectic city traffic and spirited country rides. At the rear, a smooth-operating
130mm leading/trailing shoe drum brake assures a confident balance of braking
control for virtually all riding situations.
The CG’s standard-issue wire spoked wheels mount tube-type bias-ply
tyres which offer an excellent combination of agile control and long wear for
whatever type or riding it sets out to do.
Equipment
Extra Security - The new CG125 now features a Neimann-style steering head
lock which uses a separate key from the ignition to securely immobilise the
front fork in a full-lock turned position that provides a rugged deterrent to
potential joyriders and bike thieves. The new CG also features a new locking
left-side sidecover, under which are securely concealed its strong and
reliable Maintenance Free battery and handy toolkit. Convenience Features
As before, the CG125 comes equipped with a host of features to make day-
today operation easy and enjoyable. Such features include a set of bungee hooks
for lashing down larger parcels to the rear section of the seat, a convenient
helmet lock and, of course, its handy rear pillion grab rails.
New Twin Dial Instrument Assembly
The new CG125 also features a sporty-looking new twin dial-look
instrument panel, which replaces the square-shaped unit used on its earlier
iterations. The instrument assembly’s right-side dial contains all the
indicator lights and a handy fuel gauge, which provides a much needed
reminder of how much fuel remains in the tank, since the CG’s miserly fuel
economy can easily lead one to forget just when it was last filled.
