What makes a motorcycle special? Most of the time, it doesn’t have a whole lot to do with a spec sheet, or even how rare it is. When you love a bike with your heart more than your investment portfolio, it’s usually because of sentimental attachment. Maybe it’s your first bike, or maybe you got it from someone in your family. Maybe it belonged to your best friend, or a friend who moved away, or even someone who’s no longer in this world.
In all those cases, it’s the people and the personal attachments that make your bike special to you, not the make, model, how fast it is, or whether a million of them were made and sold around the world. For the woman who runs the Autumn Car Playing channel on YouTube, this 1989 Honda CG125 belonged to her dad. It’s the bike of her childhood, and the one that she remembers most of all.
