looks like a India home market bike. Its a Honda so should be good, the cbf 125 was made in India. Parts should be ok to get hold of. This company also sell the 125 Activa which is a metal bodied scoot, they are everywhere in India, got to be their best seller. Good find, it looks a great bike.

I really "miss" (still easy to find a decent used one here) the MD90s in favour over the CC110s, although they are anemic at best. Rock solid though, built like a tank as the whole thing is metal. Meant to last like nobody's business, even having a greasable kick stand. The newer Cross Cubs are way too plastic filled to be to my liking, but then again they are a lot easier to ride being a lot lighter, plus the 110 motor being a lot more torquey and beefy.

I think my problem is that I like things to be engineered to last 50 years and to be 100% repairable at home for a few pence... :|

Are the MD90s the ex postal type....that look long with smaller wheels?

That's the one, usually red and sits on 14" spoke wheels.
