CG 125

I've got a CG125 in poor nick that my brother was gonna scrap. Might
stick some nobbly tires on it and take it greenlaning. Anyone ever
tried it?

Ok

 

Ok so it's underpowered, it can be geared down, the problem is
suspension. Bit of a non starter.

 

Cheers - I know what you mean, but it still might be fun all the same
8~)

 

No reason it shouldn't be fine for a bit of trundling about in the woods,
I'd have thought.

 

<Impressed>

Why not? Sticks a nice pair of MX bars on it too.

<Taps nose meaningfully>

Let us know how you get on. We haven't had a new GHPOTHUF number awarded
for years.

 

You'll get a knobbly for the back (3.0 x 18), I've got one on mine. Not
so sure about getting one that'll go on the front though. Unless you can
get one in 2.75 x 18 size.

 

I think a 3.00x18 ought to fit the front rim.

 

Cheers everyone. I'll let you know how I get on..

 

Oh yes, for sure, but the mud guard may want removing to clear the tyre.

 

Hmmm... oversize front tyres can be 'interesting' when it comes to
cornering.

Well at these speeds it won't matter!
I used an XL125. Similar engine, underpowered but it would make headway
in 2-3 gears, the suspension was outstanding though!

 

I killed the suspension on my RS125DX many years ago by doing a similar
thing. Great fun. Do it.

Check out the tyre on the bike at the RHS of the photo entitled "the
winners". (Sooty on Karolinka's "Mega-Monster")

That's what I call an oversize front.

 

A veritable triumph of style over common sense.

The reverse is a CG125.

 

Well, you'd want to do that anyway. Fit a nice high-0level plastic
guard.

I tell you, this lad has potential. A CG125 dirt bike.

*Want*

I'm sure Adie will sell you her CG for a very sensible price.
