Honda CG125 Storm 2006 '56 Reg - Ideal Learner Bike or Winter Bike - HPI Clear

Honda CG125 Storm.

I bought this in August as a project with the intention of using it to commute to work.  It had been stood in a shed since 2010 and had a few things needed to get it roadworthy again.  Change in circumstances has resulted in me putting this up for sale.  I now have alternative travel arrangements in place for work and the bike is currently kept in a garage that I will be losing shortly because of bereavement.

I have spent a good few hundred quid getting this roadworthy and in good condition. it now comes with 11 months MOT having passed on 9/12/14 with 4 advisories which are:

Rear tyre worn close to legal limit - probably got a few hundred miles left on it and it is still road legal.

Front wheel bearing has slight free play.

Front rolling brake test has slight fluctuation of brake effort.

Rear brake test indicates a slightly grabbing brake.  (I had slightly over adjusted the rear brake after fitting new shoes and I have backed the adjustment off a little bit since the MOT and all feels spot-on now)

Fairing has a few minor scratches and I've had to black vinyl wrap the screen as it was cracked.  All looks ok though and perfectly presentable.  Few minor marks on the tank and seat but again all looks very presentable. just not a show bike.  Both side panels have lost the ends of the locks but the barrels still turn with the keys and it would be an easy fabrication repair to the end of the barrels with fibre glass. or you could buy new locks at ?32 a pair. the mounting lugs are in tact and they are not lose or anything. I will try and sort this before the auction ends weather & time permitting.

Starts and runs great without any issues.  Has had new rear brake shoes. new Kick-Start. new coil pack & ignition lead. new spark plug and air filter. Recent oil change.  New mirrors. new clutch lever. electrical contacts on brake & clutch switch replaced due to corrosion on the contacts.  New indicator relay. new battery. full new exhaust and gaskets. new rear mirrors.  The front footpegs have been blasted and powder coated and new rubbers fitted. rear footpegs are brand new.  Tool kit is present in the box under the air filter.  It benefits from both kick start and electric start.

I have described this bike as honestly and accurately as I can to the best of my knowledge to avoid any comebacks.  It is not in showroom condition but is a very presentable bike which would make an ideal winter commuter or would be a great first bike for a learner or somebody who has recently passed their test or CBT on which to get some riding experience.  I will throw in a copy of the Honda dealers stripdown and repair manual specific to this model to the winning bidder.

Any questions please ask.  contact no is 07738428363. I work full time so might not be able to answer but I will respond to any messages.

Cash on collection only - no paypal or other payment accepted.

Any bids from zero feedback ebayers will be removed unless you email me with full address and contact number as I need to be sure it's serious bids only. sorry but it's not free to advertise and I don't want to have my time or money wasted.

Had somebody look at the bike yesterday 25/1/15 but his budget was ?600. he reckons I've done the bike an injustice on here and that it's better than described so walked away without 'insulting me with such a low offer'. his words not mine.  Maybe I have been a bit harsh but I like to be open and fair about everything I have sold on eBay. saves disappointment and also protects my 100% feedback.
