get all over that CG zippy, it looks good, and a easy fixer upper, at least its a runner, so unless it sounds like a bag of nails, should only need cosmetics addressed if your picky about such matters. with it laying that long check tyres, tubes, and fork seals, and in the tank, carb might need a flush through and clean, and chain probably a bit iffy. none of this costs much, if you get it at right price.

Viewed it and the bike basically preserved well covered in grease.

Guy wasn't a dealer, had some nice restorations nut and bolt and also a racing bike which he's raced with.

The cg125 has snapped exhuast and broken hiedlight sehll + light + indicator lense.

engine ran with some help, coz carb needed maint, but didn't smoke. Tank had wear from 1 side of the seat (no tears) and a crack in the paint (no dents) where ya belly goes.

Spray the bugger with degreaser and power wash it :)

sounds a fairly easy fixer upper, carb rebuild sounds on the cards, no wonder if its lain since 80s, and just been pressed back into service... personally since there value is climbing, id give it a sympathetic resto, more a tarting up, new exhaust, good scrub, new paint and decals on tank (not dear if ya can spray yourself or know a fella) and a polish on the shiny bits. should do you nicely for years. and at least its a proper jap made one. worth a extra few quid on the bid i reckon.
