Yep, looks the same! I can't see the difference in the seat, what is it i'm looking at?

Most of the parts say made in Japan, is this normal for the Turkish model?

Yeah, it looks and feels like a CG 125 but there is just a few things that through me off, the main thing being that on the DVLA form it is registered as a CT125 and also the fact the VIN number is too short and doesn't show up in any vehicle searches

That's my main concern tbh

@billy sugger Definitely looking like a bitza, not sure whether to return it tbh. Will check out moto profil

@Bender Well my concern is, that it's not actually a real Honda CG, and if that's the case, I want to know and i will be getting my money back

@Mr Fro I thought it was the japanese nosagila model at first, still think it could be but not certain.

@Six30 @Bender I already done the check online but just paid for the HPI check, and it is alerting me about the ' VIN may not be unique ' so I need to figure out why that is. Other than that, it didn't flag much or tel me anymore info

@Six30 What part should confuse me more? I'm new to bikes so I'm not exactly what sure is normal and what is not...

I recently passed my CBT (UK) and bought my first bike, which is a HONDA CG125 2001...apparently. On the bikes DVLA papers from the former owner and on the bike frame itself, the VIN is only 11 digits long and starts with CE125. I know this is too short, and I wondered what the reason might be? Also, on the frame, the VIN is marked as CG125, not CE125, although the following numbers are the same. The DVLA papers also say the 'bike model' is a CT125!!? The bike doesn't look like a CT model, and I can't figure out why it's registered as one? The DVLA papers register the 'body type' as a 'Scooter Combination'. Is this normal? After riding the bike, I found that the gear system worked differently, as it only has four gears, and the top option on the gear lever is neutral, and you press down for gears 1-4. You also have a back lever to come down in gear (see in pictures). I know this isn't standard on most CGs, but I'm aware there are specific older models and models manufactured in other countries that have this (i.e., Brazil, Japan, Pakistan). The bike passed its last MOT. Any help would be great. I've searched the VIN number in online databases and have had no look as it's not 17 digits. I've also looked at the Honda bike registry and can't seem to match any information to a specific model or year.
