The only thing I can see that's altered is that someone has painted the engine and mudguard black . 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely based on my own research as the Turkish model was the only one to have the square headlight, but it is possible that could have been changed during the course of it's life, in which case it could be a Brazil model originally fitted with a round headlight. Most of the parts say made in Japan, is this normal for the Turkish model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is spot on except for the iffy painting and the seat. Yep, looks the same! I can't see the difference in the seat, what is it i'm looking at?

I've scoured the internet, and found a few answers but it mainly left me with more questions and I felt there were specific areas relating to my situations that I couldn't clear up. Just googling and finding a Honda that looks the same or one that does not from the same year doesn't really help in any way, as it's the finer details that don't match or make sense, not the general look of the bike (this can be modified or be counterfeit copy). From all the members who've already answered, it's actually pretty much given me the answers I was looking for and been very helpful. I thought the point of this forum was to ask these types of questions, am I mistaken? I don't have Facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
