Cheap honda 125?

[zippy]

If ppl could keep an eye out for a reasonable mileage cg125 or (early) cm125 pref 12v and good nick, for me please.

Want to pass my test, but don't wanna pay these high demand 125 prices for a test bike :/

Renting gets expensive.

Check out evil bay local ads and the like ,a cg will keep its price as they are learner and test legal. Buy one keep it in good nick and sell it for the same price or more

It ain't got the looks of today which kids go for so it's less desirable.

Why they cheap

Has it gotta be a Honda? How about an MZ? They seem quite popular with some members god knows why

[Cerberus73]

lol MZ's are popular cos they are utilitarian, honest, transport suitable for a comrade. actually i like em cos there ugly and unloved. but honest as day is long. and like the cub they were groundbreakers. no MZ... no yamaha RD's, no Kwak triples, no suzuki GT's and RGV's., Aprillia RS or other quick stroker metal. and treated well a old MZ runs sweet as a nut, bit tractorish by modern standards. but they get from point A to B in same way a cub does, unhurried, and reliably, with oodles of character. and hey who don't love a underdog, its ingrained in our national psyche.

if you just want a cheap 125 get a chinese CG clone, they can be gotten dirt cheap. where a real CG demands a premium... and truth is only the japanese made ones are really any good, so your looking at a 80s bike or older. and the buyers are well savvy about what are the good and bad ones. the late jobs are chinese or brazillian made anyways. and the clones often pop out the same factory, a wuyang one is just as good as the honda badged ones really. and available at half the money. thing is it aint like your gonna hold onto it long term once you pass the test. if you was then sure its worth getting something nicer, and paying more.

[wightegi]

Be aware that some of the chinese copies do not do 100 kph so are not listed as suitable for the test.

pref honda late 70's/ early 80's where they build quality was good
