Having owned one and taken it off road, I've a soft spot for the CG. But they are smaller than I remember

I remember them as being super miserly with fuel consumption.
That's quite a pretty little bike for tooshing around town,but anyone over 5ft is going to look a bit circus.

CG125 = probably my best ever biking moment
BMW R65 had broken its clutch or gearbox, I'd borrowed the training scheme's loan bike.
Downhill, flat out, leaning over the bars, laughing like a loon -
- overtaking a 911 driven by a bloke who looked totally bored

Pointless. I suppose you could take it in a van to the bikeshed for oohs and ahhs from the top knots?

Take an old fashioned honest learner/commuter bike.
Tart it up in the style of something it isn't (and never will be).
And voila, you have a posing machine for urban plonkers with more money than sense.

Couldn't disagree more.... just because it's lacking in power doesn't mean it has to lack in looks or style.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:50 am Take an old fashioned honest learner/commuter bike.

I think it's one of the coolest bikes we've had in the past 2 years...
Would i want to own it.... probably not... but doesn't mean i don't love it.

Ha... I always thought of them as 3/4 scale. Getting a 6+ footer wrapped onto one was always challenging on CBT. I remember teaching someone who was 6'10. He had trouble going round corners because the bars hit his knees!
