Sometimes, things just work so well that they withstand the test of time. We’ve seen this quite a few times in the motorcycle world, particularly with Honda. To this day, classic models with tons of history continue to roll off showroom floors. Yes, bikes like the Cub and Monkey have been updated to modern standards. However, underneath, they still follow the same formula for which they were loved for many decades.
Some of you may be familiar with a small commuter called the CG125. First released in 1976 by Honda of Japan, this small, no-frills commuter provided mobility to folks from all walks of life. Thanks to its very practical platform and robust construction, it was a true workhorse. Ever since 1976, the CG125 has been in production in multiple parts of the world, albeit not consistently. In Japan, the CG125 stopped production in 2008. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, the bike has been available since 1992. The most recent iteration comes to us from China, from Wuyang Honda, the Japanese giant’s Chinese counterpart.
