You have brought back the sweetest memories. A much loved friend....we grew up right across the road from each other....he had one of these. He passed away some years back. Thanks for making my heart smile ✌️♥️
Brings back old memories. I used to own a CB-100 in the late 80’s, early 90’s when I was living in Jamaica (I’m in Canada, now). The CB-100 is very similar to this one in the video. Those bikes were very reliable and easy to maintain and fix. Especially if you have a Hanes Shop Manual for it and good tools. It was also very good on gas. My CB-100 got about 120 miles/gallon. The tank took 2 gallons. That bike was my FREEDOM! I loved that bike and I miss it. Sold it to my brother-in-law when I migrated.
One of the most reliable engines out there! Had a cheap Chinese dual sport with a 250cc engine. It was cloned after the Honda cg engine and everything looks exactly the same to a tea! Even though the engine on the dual-sport was made of cheap materials it made up for it by being designed so well! Had the bike for about 3k miles before I sold it for another bike. The engine never gave me any issues and I beat the crap out of it.
What a gorgeous bike. It never ceases to amaze me that the intriquite gears and all the moving parts inside were invented and designed by a team of brilliant engineers. It's so perfect.
Outstanding restoration! There's a huge amount of motivation, ambition, hours, equipment, cost, time and love into projects like this. Most cannot appreciate what it really takes to accomplish a feat such as this.
So true, heck I do these things to larger bikes and it takes a LOT of Time, Discipline, Focus, and ingenuity to process every inch of a bike to a worthy level of acceptance. And some LUCK with parts.
They say Henry Ford put America on wheels. Honda may be doing the same for the planet. Honda has a well earned reputation for bullet-proof reliability.
@@hal511bm rightly said. I bought an 18 years old Honda CG 125, very much abused and rusted. Only the engine restoration changed the game. the whole restoration is ongoing.
I really appreciate the way you used your skill and experience to salvage that terribly ill-treated motorcycle and restored it to a useful and rather attractive machine. We throw away far too much of all the things we use. Most of us would have sent a motorcycle in the state yours was in to the junk yard.
That's amazing! You've put a lot of work into that thing and it absolutely shows. Aside from the tyres, it's like you went through a time machine and plucked this from the showroom floor!
No, this is a heavily-modified CG125, and it looks very little like it did in the showroom. Someone in the past has customised it with a different cut-down seat, different front and rear mudguards, rear lights and indicators, as well as removing the the side panels and chain guard, plus the different exhaust.
Man, what an education--as a newbie, I only wish he would put what he was doing in each process on the screen. the part removed and the cleaning process and solution and tools used. Fantastic video, though!!
Hi, that was a very nice job you did on this motorcycle and thank you for the time you put into restoring it. I am an Iranian, I watched this video and it was interesting to me that a Honda 125 is being rebuilt, because this type of motorcycle is still produced in Iran and people ride it, and in the eyes of Iranians, this motorcycle has a long life, parts It is famous for its cheapness, high power, and beauty, and it is produced in Iran in Handy, Handy, and Starty types and in 125, 150, and 200 cc engine sizes. It is interesting to know that I also have a model of this motorcycle that has square lights and a simpler appearance. I have never seen its trail model before and I am not familiar with this model. Thank you very much.
Same here in Pakistan.Although we dont have 150 & 200 cc models nor EFI models.i live near Iranian border and have seen alot of models here in Balochistan, But i wonder why are Pakistani models loved here😂While Iranian models pack alot of features and Pakistani models dont.
@@aaqibbaloch02 Hello dear brother Pakistan in Iran like the people of Pakistan are interested in this engine with all kinds of motorcycle models all Iranian and foreign Honda buy this sample! And I'm sure there are also in Pakistan, but my friend the controversial point is that there are at least 2 to 5 of these motorcycles in rural houses in Iran and 1 or 2 in cities. Some take the engines of the trawl and replace it with Honda and without a license plate. 🇮🇷❤️🇵🇰
Looked like the fork tube top bearing race was installed upsidedown?! Flat against the bearing balls??? Did I see that right?! Also the kick start return spring appears broken? So much work to leave little things like that unrepaired. I agree with others, apart from the seat and tires, an excellent job!
wow...watching paint bubble is not a pasttime I thought I would like. The sound, the visuals...greatly calming, satisfying and horrific all at the same time!
Excellent work, you can tell a lot of time and effort went into putting together all these details with painstaking effort. Having said that, wonder why a little more thought and maybe some really quality leather/vinyl didn’t go into the seat? Seemed like one of the final touches, not to mention comfort when riding was treated somewhat like an afterthought. Anyway, I don’t mean to be critical, I can’t imagine how much time goes into something like this. Congrats on a beautiful restoration.
Great restoration! I was wondering however, having removed all the rust from the chromework, did you give those parts a coating of lacquer to prevent further rusting? Many years ago, I once cleaned an old chrome motorcycle luggage rack which came off my Honda CB125S. Having removed all the rust, without further thought, I just put it back on the bike. within a month however, with the bike being used in all weathers, the rack started to rust up again so I had to take it off and clean it again, this time giving it a coating of lacquer. It didn't stop the rust for ever but it did take several years for the rust to start reappearing.
@@AdamForeman its a four stroke , and most hondas were fitted with starter motors from the mid 60s but your correct that this bike was kickstart only as it was only a six volt system
The hose that runs from the valve cover to that intake pipe is the engine's crankcase breather. The lubricating oil of the engine gets hot, always in addition to a lubricating effect, the oil also cools the bearings and other parts. That oil therefore becomes hot and vaporizes in the crankcase. So there is some pressure there.
When I was a child, In 1979 my father got CG110 , and in 1984 till 1987 I use this cg110 during study in khon kean University Thailand. Now I am 58 years old.
Install the piston the proper way. That hurt to watch. Hammering the head onto the piston/piston rings is a good way to damage something or give yourself major oil consumption issues

I agree !
the 1st motorcycle I learned how to ride during late 80s. very extreme torquey powerful and no roads it will evade💪👍🏻
Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕

From Egypt and middle east really great effort dear and you have a good mentality keep it up

All that work finished off with a seat a 5 year old could have done 😂
If you read the thumb nail and watched the video that was the original seat from the restoration
@@tyhat89it is, but its not a original seat. Its probably self made by the previous owner.
@@tyhat89 so nothing changes. Its still a seat fitted that looks like a school child repaired it. You didn’t make any points.

Basically if you ever thinking of doing a motorcycle rebuild, watch this video as it showcases the whole process in my mind to perfection
The seat is the only thing letting it down, other than that it's awesome
The kickstarter not?
@@Lex9296 this bike never came with an electric start. Most 2 strokes don't and certainly from this year of motorcycles
@@AdamForeman I meant: also the Kickstart pedal (falling down) is one of the "letting down" things.

Bela restauração .
I love the 80s era bodge jobs in evidence on this bike. The sheet metal side covers. The stacked leather or foam intake boots. Perfection
Correct me if im wrong, I think you should connect the breather (redtube that come from engine) to the air filter unit
The hose that runs from the valve cover to that intake pipe is the engine's crankcase breather. The lubricating oil of the engine gets hot, always in addition to a lubricating effect, the oil also cools the bearings and other parts. That oil therefore becomes hot and vaporizes in the crankcase. So there is some pressure there.
