Overview
The Honda CG 125 is a naked motorcycle in the CG family, produced from 1997 through 2022. For 2022, it uses a 124.0 cm³ air-cooled, four-stroke single producing 11 hp (8 kW) and 9.8 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm; its dry weight is 100 kg.
A 764 mm seat height and 100 kg dry weight make the CG 125 relatively easy to support and maneuver at low speeds. It has a kick starter, a four-speed manual gearbox, and drum brakes at both wheels. For 2022, the seat is lower than in 2021, while the 9.2-liter fuel tank is smaller than the previous year's 13.5-liter tank, leaving less fuel aboard between stops.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 764 mm seat height can make it easier to put a foot down when stopping.
Light dry weight
At 100 kg dry, it is a manageable weight to maneuver while parking or moving at low speed.
Air-cooled engine
The air-cooled single avoids the added hardware of a liquid-cooling system.
Things to consider
Kick start only
Starting requires using the kick lever rather than an electric starter.
Drum brakes front and rear
Both wheels use drum brakes, rather than a disc brake setup.
Smaller tank for 2022
The 9.2-liter tank carries less fuel than the 13.5-liter tank of the 2021 model, which can mean more frequent fuel stops.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
