You could always offer to transport it! :D

Actually, looks half decent and thought about looking at it but got a bigger plan to chase.

Spares /Repairs / Easy project.
This my Honda CG 125. I've had this bike from new and used it for my daily commute. I bought it on the 17/09/2001. 2 years ago my circumstances changed and it has sat in the garage unused since. Never dropped, crashed, stolen or abused etc. It's being sold as spares/repairs/easy project as it does not have a current MOT. With a good clean, service and a little TLC, it'll be up and running again. It's really is too nice to break for spares. If I had the time, I would clean it, MOT it and sell for double! This is my third Honda CG. The previous bikes were also commuters and I put 60,000 miles on each of them with no problems whatsoever, that's why I bought a third (again from EC Bates. Nice people, good dealer). This like my other bikes, all were generally maintained by me. I changed the oil every 1000 miles with the best quality oil I could buy, which I believe is the key to the longevity of the engine, which in general is pretty much bullet proof anyway (it's a Honda!), needless to say the engine ran as sweet as without any unusual noises, smoke etc. Likewise, clutch, gears, brakes etc all good. Shortly before I stopped using the bike I had a new Metzeler front tyre fitted. The rear is a Michelin which has covered around 1000 miles. The bike has a mere 34,000 on the clock so consider it run in. So if you're looking for cheap, reliable bike, you've just found it!

I saw one of these yesterday. I thought from a distance it was a Cali 3 like mine. Was amazed to see it was a Hyosung. Beautiful looking machine IMO.

We've had great experiences with Chinese bikes and BAAAAAAAD experiences with a supposedly superior Korean Hyosung. I'd not touch another one again, ever! :D
