Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Bulletproof OHV Engine
The CG 125's air-cooled pushrod (OHV) single is famously under-stressed and regularly passes 100,000 km with nothing more than oil changes and valve checks. Its simple design means almost any roadside mechanic can service it without special tools.
Check Chain, Clutch & Rust
Common wear points are a stretched drive chain and worn sprockets, a slipping clutch from skipped oil changes, and rust around the chain guard, exhaust and wheel rims on bikes used in wet or salty conditions. Also listen for top-end tapping, which usually just means the valve clearances need adjusting.
Exceptional Resale Value
Huge demand from commuters and learners plus cheap, widely available parts keep CG 125 values very strong, with well-kept examples often holding 60–70% of their price after several years. The flip side is that you rarely find a genuine bargain, so budget accordingly.
