Honda CG125

[MikeH]

Anyone got any experience of these bikes? As my motorhome garage door is a smidge not high enough and really need a light bike that fits two of us without too much of a squash, was thinking of a CG 125, maybe backing it up the ramp and removing the front wheel to push it back before strapping down. Looks like just a couple of cables to disconnect then off it pops and drops down small enough. Think this is a viable idea? Garage payload is over 150 kilos so weight shouldn’t be an issue.

Great bikes. Reliable and will cope two-up.

Passed my test on one in 1994

Wouldn't a 125 scooter be more practical with it's under seat storage and you can carry beer on the foot plate

Very good bike cg125,BUT a Honda 125 pcx is much better. I have had both.

Whatever it is I think I’m gonna have to remove the front wheel to get through my 40” garage door and this looks easy enough on a front drum. Don’t want to rest a disc on the floor is possible. Just after something simple to remove and bigger than a Grom

There was somebody on here who used to race supermoto, he got something like a wheelbarrow wheel and put that on the front of his bike to get it in his garage. Worked a treat.
Oh and the CG is a great wee bike, we used one to get through our CBT in '98.

Smaller front wheel for moving is genius!

I put wooden home made wheels on our caravan so I could push it into the garage for the winter

I’m even thinking of resting the front forks on a skateboard now! This opens up so many different bikes now

Or you could use a pair of ratchet straps to pull the fork springs down.

In 2017 (at 72 going on 18) I bought a new later model, the Honda CBF 125 (aka the 'Grudge Special') and immediately rode it solo to Spain and back via the Pyrenees loaded with a fortnight's camping gear (c50kg?) no prob. (One armed actually).
The older CG125 has a good reputation for reliability and would transport two of you fine.

Yep, and maybe just loosen the h'bar clamp and swivel down the 'bars and rear view mirrors?

As another poster has already said, ratchet straps to compress the fork springs are the way to go. I have to do this with our bicycles.

If it’s only just too big, could you not let the tyre down ?

CG 125 some 1990’s models were made in Brazil and the chrome wasn’t as good as the previous Japanese built ones but the engines were still very good, like all these small capacity engines they don’t hold a lot of oil and it’s Very important to check and change regularly. As previously suggested I would recommend removing the mirrors, undo the two handlebar clamps and carefully lower the bars, once the bars are low enough re tighten the clamps to make loading safer
