I had this bike back home when I was young, almost identical known as CG125. Most popular and loved bike in Pakistan. The best sounding and most favorite exhaust sound when heard in person.

[@robertleslie2467]

I had a '78 Honda CB 125S. It had a framed plastic molding around the speedo and tac. Plastic fenders. Non disc brakes. Top speed of about 48mph going downhill. Bought it used. Hated it. Then loved it. It was a solid bike and wish I hadn't sold it.

[@paulcarlo9862]

I had one of these back in 1980 but in the orange/red colour. It was a great little bike.

[@alancorner2923]

Had a CB125J back in 77. This looks pretty original although exhaust on this is different and mine was Orange. Great little reliable bike. Engine sound here takes me back 45 years!

[@chriss5667]

I'm 99% sure the video bike is also a "J" rather than an "S". The S had the gaiters on the stancheons, decals as shown here and a few other differences. My old J was also orange. The J letter never actually appeared on the bike, it kept the S.

I just love these bikes... My dad's first motorcycle was an Honda CD100SS

[@cinderellassober8265]

boy im excited to get one of these once my uncle has his check tomorrow :) bein out in the country with no friends and hardly anything else to do besides play my instruments play games and watch vids things have been boring these times, today as kind as my stepdad was he brought out the 4 wheeler to borrow from his dad for riding as something for me to do while im waiting, that has story of its own i wont waste time with, but surely seems like a fun machine, to practice riding on out in these countrys until im ready to ride my kawasaki KLX 650, that also has a story of its own, but as short as i can put it riding that thing, i just aint tall enough or strong enough to ride it, but yes, a good review and ride along 😁👍and informative and helpful.

[@SoddingaboutSi]

[@rd6144]

Have one of these at home, restoring it at the moment, where can I get parts for these? Need some body parts as well as carb parts

[@RetroBikesDublin]

Where are you from if Ireland you could try city spares?

[@jjmoto6078]

I’m able to find lots of genuine Honda parts on David Sliver Spares. They also sell aftermarket parts in the case that they don’t have new old stock. www.davidsilverspares.com/

[@RetroBikesDublin]

Thanks JJ

[@rd6144]

Had a look on David Silver spares they dont seem to have the body panel that covers the battery wouldnt mind spraying one if it's a different colour thanks lads!

[@jjmoto6078]

@@rd6144 Glad to help. Might take a look on eBay, maybe someone has the part you need there.

[@hubertkam7647]

Are these a1 legal

[@braaap_rider5431]

How fast can you go with it?

[@shaymtbrider7244]

65 mile top speed

[@alancorner2923]

Yep about 65mph. Downhill with no headwi d and laying on the tank about 70mph. Nearly 100mpg too. Had one in 77 and loved it, much better than the oyster smelly 2 strokes of the other brands

[@christianearly9531]

Want...

[@andrewanddon84]

I like is how much for that sir

[@RetroBikesDublin]

Sold sorry

[@happyhome41]

Boo - you did not show the choke - which is a bit tricky on that bike.

[@davidjames1684]

Less fun. Some go-carts have more power than this motorcycle.

[@RetroBikesDublin]

Not always about the power

[@davidjames1684]

@@RetroBikesDublin I owned one of these back in 1981and 1982 I think. It was my first motorcycle. However, during one of those recent testride events at a local motorcycle shop, I was able to testride MANY different bikes including powerful ones. When I rode some "dinky" bike, the fun level went WAY down. I had to do full throttle speed shifts just to keep up with the "pack". Not always about the power... true, if you are not in a hurry to go anywhere and/or not concerned with keeping up with the pack. Good for gas mileage though. For people that have ridden them, they already know the "fun" level, so "more fun than you think" doesn't apply to them.

[@Wsadef]

No need for that annoying jungle music. Just keep the sound clean.
