Hi bought a honda xl with a cg125 engine registered with v5 etc says cg125 on the vin plate is it legit any ideas as to what i can do only stands me @ £50 didn't run now it does nice bike want to use it on the road

It is quite possible that the engine is the same.
The CG125 engine was used in some XL's as it is a bulletproof motor.

thanks or reply engine is smaller has some brackets to make it fit wondered on the legality of the cg125 vin plate may have been a scrambler registered for the road ?cheers Nick

Hi Ballores,

Do you realise you've started a new thread each time you've asked the same question? Not really a problem but you could just carry on with the same thread and it will keep bringing the topic back up to the top.

With regard to your questions though, is it presenting a problem with the MOT or taxing? If not, I wouldn't worry too much. Just use it and have some fun!

I think the best thing you can do is to take a decent picture, put it onto Photobucket or similar, and then insert it into this forum thread. What you describe sounds like a hybrid of two or three Hondas or some Australian outback farm bike.

Look forward to seeing a picture.
