OK. But anyway, there is in Europe the CB125F fitted with the same OHC engine of the current Brazilian-market CG 125, however it's fitted with electric start and front disc brake as standard features, while the CG nowadays only has those in the 160 (electric start as standard, and disc brake only unavailable in the basic trim). I guess it could be a good option for an U.S. military service member deployed to an overseas base to bring back home if they're still allowed to use that loophole in the grey-import rules.

My next bike will likely be a Honda CRF250L with ABS. I haven't decided on the regular or Rally version. I won't by a motorcycle today for use in the USA without EFI and ABS.
Nowadays I'd also be more inclined to buy a motorcycle fitted with EFI, even though sometimes I still consider getting one fitted with all-around mechanic drum brakes which would render it impossible to get ABS.
