love the bike... awesome build. @motobob what about starting the bike?

[@motobob]

Afraid we couldn’t on the day. Check out Jack’s Instagram tho (scars_motorcycles) as he said he would put a startup vid there when it’s outside at some point

[@robbikebob]

Nice, but a problem with getting rid of everything behind the carbs is when the rear tyre throws up water it's going to throw it straight at the air filter! If it's not just a dry weather bike it could do with an infill plate between the frame rails....

[@stallion9801]

This is considered as a legendary bike in Pakistan. Almost in every home...

[@thechussalzzz2740]

I also have CG

[@bazitube390]

[@Ayzill]

I love this build! Great job!

[@michelemicoli]

Love the look of this one! Very simple and effective. Great little bike for around town as a second bike I think. Reminds me a bit of the newer Mutt motorcycles.. and good to see a motobob video almost every day!!

[@motobob]

Thanks mate. Been feeling the creative flow lately and enjoying making the vids again! Love this little bike too - agree that it would be a spot on runaround for town

[@Hurricanehamo]

It's a little Beaut! Starting to look out for a early 80s CG 125 Cargo as my return to 2 wheels and came across your vid. Loves the fact they're a 4 stroke. The original Cargo had really nice detailing! Thanks for the Vid! Subscribing!

[@renviluan2842]

Have a cgx 125, it's unkillable. Love that it's so light I've literally gone to impossible places like waterfalls and beaches through rain,floods and rocky beaches.

[@tjdier1650]

Lovely little ripper!

[@YuichiTamaki]

Nice honest build, specially the part of the clip ons.

[@mikespikeey4625]

cg 125 had loads of fun on them back in the late 80`s 90`s they ran and ran for ever

[@nikmanfarhan8208]

Eyegasm 🔥🔥🔥

[@trevormartin5459]

I enjoyed watching this video.The bike looked great.I would like to hear it running with that nice pipe.

[@Cody-cl8uf]

I’m planning to get one and do build for my first bike. Nothing much outside of changing out a few stuff; seat etc

[@ClemIsRoaming]

Nice bike ! I really love these little bike from the 70's. I'm currently restoring a SL125 after a XL 125. So esay to work on !

[@motobob]

Yeah nice and simple and it looks spot on

[@meerasiftalpur1388]

[@suleymansurucu2059]

Perfect good job

[@nazrighazali]

Nice beautiful bike.

[@jamesharrison7326]

love it pal

[@baldguywithbeard]

Tank looks like late 70s. Had a CB50 that had a tank that has the same profile, it was a 78.

[@adtaj9824]

Rim and tire size please

[@DaveLowe28]

Even though I'm building a 125 with clip ons, I do agree with being honest to the bike's capabilities.

[@garniegarnett7620]

Hi ive just got myself a cg125 and was wondering what the tyre width is on tryes and if i changed the front forks for more off road what forks would you advise chears

[@LoboBranco1985]

I could be wrong but this cg was designed here in Brazil, isnt it? The buttons and controls are from the late 70s, early 80s i think, at least the models from here!

[@dazzasp3]

Lovely

[@Syedsohailiqbal]

What is the size of front and back tires?

[@MotoDazee]

Where did you mount the battery? 🙄

[@Omangss]

[@meerasiftalpur1388]

[@georgemcmanus5943]

Did anyone get any answers on the tyre size of this build

[@arksrandom5968]

Anybody know where to find the exhaust he was using?

[@sivapals]

Where can I build a cg125 like this?

[@hakkiputra]

What detail of size tire and rim , front and rear ?

[@shali7878]

Good question ...

[@povbuntav]

[@mekaniko5209]

[@touchmobile2721]

[@AkashRoy-tp7lr]

Where is the Battery?

[@dazzasp3]

Are you selling?

[@Fayyazshk]

Next time you need anything for the CG 125 hmu.

[@guilermantilla4737]

hello ..that is an amazing job . excuse me but i have one question , where is the batery ?.

[@xdkenner]

Underneath the seat I think

[@DaveLowe28]

I know I'm replying to a 2 year old comment but it will likely use a capacitor instead of a battery. Everything will still work but it's kickstart only.

[@abdallahadssi1258]

Vary good (honda cg)

[@mattjones6232]

How do I get one in the United States?

[@hoechazr]

It's still in production in Pakistan.

[@barnbersonol]

How to lose loads of money: butcher a bike by customising it then sell it.
