கண்ணோட்டம்
The Honda CG 125 is an enduring icon in the motorcycle world, known for its simple, rugged engineering and distinctive exhaust note. In 2025, it remains a popular choice in the Sri Lankan reconditioned and import market, especially among riders who value durability over modern technology. Unlike the overhead camshaft (OHC) engines found in most modern bikes, the CG 125 uses an overhead valve (OHV) pushrod engine, which is widely known for reliability and strong low-end torque. It is often positioned as a “working class hero” or a retro-style statement.

The Honda CG 125 is often described by owners as a motorcycle with strong character. It appeals mainly to two groups: riders who need a durable workhorse for rough usage, and enthusiasts drawn to its classic design and distinctive exhaust note. Many owners acknowledge that comfort is limited, but highlight the raw mechanical nature and engine “thump” as qualities that modern, more refined motorcycles no longer offer.

Key Features & Design
The design is purely functional and retro, highlighted by chrome fenders, a flat seat, and the signature rectangular headlight (round on some classic versions). Riders appreciate the metal construction of the body panels, which feels more substantial than modern plastic fibre. The instrument cluster is minimalistic and often lacks a gear indicator or fuel gauge, which owners generally accept as part of the bike’s classic character.
