1995 Honda CG125BR review from United Kingdom
"A good reliable commuter bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing at all went wrong.
General comments?
Bought the bike new to pass my test and learn about motorcycling before moving onto a bigger machine (Yamaha XJ600 Diversion).
This version was the BR-K model made in Brazil and the build quality was not as great as you might think, being a Honda, but totally reliable.
The kickstart could be annoying at times, but otherwise absolutely no problems while I owned it.
Have heard of crankshaft failures at around 30,000 miles.
Very good fuel economy and the comfort is OK for commuting a few miles, but it feels out of its depth on fast A roads.
Mechanically very simple, and easy to service and maintain.
