AMERICANS: Would you buy a 125cc motorcycle for the street?

[Piotrsko]

Back in the day there was two ways to get slick tires with minimal tread: buy them or make them. The owner made them. Still not good for low traction surfaces like rain or center of traffic lane, fine for drag strip

I'm sure that was not intentional anyway...

The newest of this version of the 5th-generation Honda CG 125 is already 15y.o. but they're still soldiering on...



4th-generation Honda CG 125, still featuring the pushrod engine, and a 9th-generation 160 already fitted with the OHC engine



It's no longer so easy to find a 4th-generation Cargo still stock, as most were converted to 2-seater in order to get a better resale value.



AFAIK the 5th generation of the Honda CG 125, the last to be fitted with the pushrod engine, is the most copied motorcycle ever.
