I started looking for an older 125 bike that would work with the cafe racer look, I soon narrowed down to the trusty Honda CG 125.  They are a good old sturdy work horse of a bike that has been the commuter bike of choice for generations.  They are simple, easy to fix, and most of all cheap so if I make a bodge of it I haven't lost very much at all!

I started looking over eBay to find a suitable victim and came across a 1979 Honda CG125. £200 later and  I am the owner of a great project bike ready to be stripped down. It is actually a great runner and in pretty good condition considering it age.

Project CG Cafe Racer has commenced!
