There very simple, easy to ride bike. I own a Yamaha sr125 and you really notice the extra 1hp. However, the cg is more than happy flat out on the motorway, OK 65mph isn´t great but it´s practicle. It´s really cheap to buy as well as maintain. The UK models are mainly kickstart, and take a bit of welly so get going but are fine when on the move. The only drawback i found is that having drum brakes front and rear make braking long and boring, with my sr it has a front disc which stops nice and quickly. the cg is lacking some features that you would expect from a bike, but its from lacking these features that make it so cheap overall. A great buy if you want to get biking as cheaply as possible!
