HONDA CG125 2001 CAFE STYLE RACER LEARNER LEGAL, FULL 12 MONTHS MOT, WOW FACTOR

WELCOME TO MY AD FOR A CAFE STYLED CG125JUST TO EXPLAIN THE PICTURES. THE FIRST 3 ARE TODAY 7TH SEPT. THE 4TH PHOTO IS OF HOW THIS ONE IS GOING TO LOOK (AS THIS IS HOW I AM BUILDING IT)

I like the simplicity of the little CG singles. i am old enough to remember the first incarnation of the CG?ˆ™s & always thought it would look good as a cafe racer & since they now make a CG with CDI & a decent shape. this one came along as i was looking for something to work on.

So what has happened to the bike & how & what have i used to refurbish

Total nuts & bolt strip down of everything apart from the engine ?ˆ“ which still had a service including valve clearances (as its modern no points to mess with) oil filter clean .

New items include. brake pads. inner tubes & new continental tyres. which not only look good. they perform very well in wet or dry.

After removing any light rust I have sprayed all the frame  using  anti rust paint. which is also very tough! this is in gloss black & gives a nice finish.

The engine is painted in high temperature paint (Rustins which is supposed to be one of the better ones on the market)

I think i have saved close on 10kg in weight & estimate the bike to be around 85kg dry weight  J this is going to be a lot of fun to ride.

The bike is about 3 weeks away from being completed. fresh paintwork. MOT etc I am looking for deposits now. I will post updated photos of progress weekly

Just to recap. this bike will be learner legal & ready to ride with full MOT around 20-25th Sept

Update - more pics to follow this weekend 28th - its getting closer

The Cafe is about a week or so away from being finished (it has took longer to complete than i first expected. not really that surprised as i like my bikes to look & feel good)

Also in the pics are a couple of other bikes that i am doing based on the CG. the metallic pink & purple will also be for sale & has had the same strip & rebuild. refurbish etc as the others. if you are interested in any of these please use ask seller a question button.
