The Honda CG125 was a commuter motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1976 to 2008 in Japan, and from 1992, the bike was introduced in Pakistan. The bike was produced for many years and was also known as the Honda CG.

Although the bike was initially manufactured in Japan; eventually, the production plant that supplied European models was moved to Brazil in 1985, and for the W and M models, the production was moved to Turkey and Pakistan in 1992.

The Honda CG125 was developed from the CB125, which had a similar appearance and shared many components. One significant difference between the two models was that the CB124 featured an Overhead Cam (OHC) that wore the camshaft bearings if oil changes were skipped.

For suspension, the 2004 CG124 packed a 27 mm telescopic fork with 115 mm of travel handling the front end, while on the rear, the suspension was operated by five-way adjustable dual shock absorbers with 80 mm travel.

In 2004, the motorcycle received several modifications, including replacing the front drum brake with a disc unit, a new instrument cluster with a fuel gauge for the first time, increased fuel capacity, a modern appearance, and a simple chain guard.

In the power department, the 2004 Honda CG125 was fitted with a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine with 11 hp on tap at 9,000 rpm and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm.

Overall, the Honda CG125 was popular among riders worldwide due to its reliability, affordability, and low maintenance. The bike was often used as a commuter due to its fuel efficiency and practical design.
