Honda CG125

For over 25 years the CG125 has put people on two wheels with dependable performance and exceptional economy, running for years on end with minimal extra investment of time or money. With a worldwide reputation for being rugged and reliable, the CG125 has become one of the most popular all-round transporters, commuters and fun learner bikes. It has been as popular in riding schools as it has with individual riders, due to its low-costs, durability and compact proportions. For 2004, the 'Old Faithful' CG125 has been updated with new styling, front disc brake and meets the latest Euro emissions limits. Ease of use is the key to the CG's success, which is why the new version features electric start and a new hydraulic front brake for better stopping power. The fuel capacity has also been increased by almost a litre to 13.5L. But the most obvious improvement to the 2004 CG over its predecessors is the sleeker and more modern styling featuring cleaner lines and a more integrated taillight.

CBF600 S ABS The 600cc motorcycle class features virtually every kind of motorcycle to suit every need, from hardcore sportsbikes to laid-back cruisers. But, until now, there has been a gap for the more novice rider looking for a set up in performance and excitement. The new CBF fills this gap and will prove to be a capable but undaunting model. Ideal for the smaller rider and women in particular, a key feature of the CBF is the Just Fit Design – with adjustable handlebars, a fully adjustable seat, adjustable brake lever and adjustable windscreen on the half faired versions. All this adjustment means that the bike can be perfectly set up for each rider, providing them with the extra confidence they are looking for. But looks are nothing without the engine to power it. The CBF600 ABS is powered by the same engine as the CB600 Hornet, but with increased torque at low to mid revs – just where the rider needs it more. Available in naked and half-faired versions, the CBF600 ABS is sure to suit everyone. And it is also available with optional ABS for that extra stopping confidence and control in all riding conditions.

Some Honda Race History Part I !!

For most people, the Honda race history starts with the 1959 entry of the Honda team in the Isle of Man TT. However, although practically unknown in Europe at the time, Japan in those days had a fast growing motorcycle industry, but their models looked very old fashioned, and the ones that did look (more or less) modern were often straight copies of German, British or American (read Harley) motorcycles. Honda, even in those days already a very big motorcycle manufacturer, faced the problem that it would be very difficult to sell its bikes worldwide.

Japanese products in general had a bad reputation regarding quality, based on Japanese pre-war products (the camera industry in Japan faced the same problem). So how do you overcome such a problem? By proving to the world, that your engineering and the resulting products are superior -in the case of motorcycles by winning Grand Prix with them.
