Lo que los compradores deben saber
Pushrod engine, near-indestructible
The CG's air-cooled OHV (pushrod) single is famously tolerant of poor fuel, skipped services and overloading — many examples pass 100,000 km on the original bottom end. Basic care is just regular oil changes and valve-clearance checks every few thousand km.
Cam chain and top-end noise
Listen for a rattling cam chain/tensioner and check for smoke or heavy oil consumption from worn rings and valve guides on high-mileage couriers. Also inspect the frame and swingarm for rust, sloppy steering-head and worn drum brakes, since these bikes are often ridden hard and stored outdoors.
Bulletproof resale, cheap parts
Constant demand from commuters and delivery riders keeps used CG 125/Titan prices strong, and parts are dirt-cheap and available almost anywhere. Later Brazilian Titans added electric start, CDI ignition and (from about 2009) flex-fuel capability, which command a premium over early kick-start-only models.
