The David Plant Collection
1990 Honda CG125
Registration no. H622 PWF
Frame no. CG125BR8110427
Engine no. CG125BRE 8110336
Honda's first 125cc single, the CB125S, appeared in 1970 and since then this type of machine has been a fixture of its range, offering a combination of performance, agility, user friendliness and economy endearing it to successive generations of younger motorcyclists and commuters alike. Produced alongside the overhead-cam CB125, the cheaper CG came with a pushrod motor, drum front brake and enclosed rear chain, the latter a desirable feature on an everyday commuter-bike. Tested by Bike magazine in 1977, the CG recorded a top speed of 68mph and returned a staggering 103 miles per gallon!
This CG125 was first registered in August 1990. The current odometer reading is 5, 742 miles and the engine turns over. Acquired by the vendor in April 1995, the machine comes with an owner's manual stamped by supplying dealer Bill Beevers of Sheffield (a previous owner was based in Sheffield). Additional paperwork consists of a hand-written purchase receipt; an MoT issued in May 1997; and old/ current V5/ V5C documents noting three previous keepers. The frame number matches the HPI.
