This motorcycle is Honda's tailor-made commuter for Southeast Asian countries, not only meeting the daily travel needs of local residents, but also setting off a motorcycle revolution around the world due to its outstanding performance.
At that time, the Japanese motorcycle industry was undergoing a technological revolution, and Honda, as one of the leaders of this change, launched the CG125 with a keen market insight and aimed at the public's demand for practical light motorcycles.
The launch of this car not only represents the strength of Honda, but also marks the rise of the Japanese motorcycle industry on a global scale.
In terms of technology, the Honda CG125 is equipped with a single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke vertical top rod engine with a displacement of 125cc, which not only ensures the stability of power output, but also maximizes fuel economy.

You know, at that time, the price of motorcycles in the market was generally low, but the price of Honda CG125 was relatively high, but this did not affect its hot sales.
To this day, there are still many people who pay a high price for a well-preserved second-hand Honda CG125, which is enough to prove its immortal place in motorcycle history.
For many motorcycle enthusiasts, owning a Honda CG125 is not only a way to travel, but also a reflection of feelings.
Yamaha 80
In China in the last century, motorcycles, as a new means of transportation, gradually entered the lives of thousands of households.
In this historical process, Chongqing's construction of the Yamaha-80 undoubtedly occupies a pivotal position.
It is not only a fashion symbol of that era, but also the originator of China's curved beam motorcycle, leading a generation of trends.
At that time, Chongqing Construction Yamaha 80 not only won the favor of the market with excellent performance and economical fuel efficiency, but also became the favorite of many young people.
You must know that the design concept of Chongqing's construction of the Yamaha-80 comes from the pursuit of comfortable riding.
Not only was its curved beam design a rarity at the time, but it made the ride much easier.
What's more, in terms of economy, Chongqing Construction Yamaha-80 performed equally well.
At that time, the oil price was about 2.5 yuan, and the fuel tank capacity of this model was 4 liters, which could be filled up for only 10 yuan.
And this motorcycle can reach a range of nearly 200 kilometers under normal driving conditions, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for people at that time.
Although Chongqing Construction Yamaha 80 has been a great success in the market, it is undeniable that it also has some shortcomings.
For example, due to the light body structure, poor stability may occur at high speeds.
But that didn't dampen its popularity, especially among young women, who found the Yamaha 80's exterior design to be both stylish and functional, perfect for daily commutes and short trips.
While more new models of motorcycles appeared on the market over time, the legacy of the Yamaha 80 will forever be remembered in the hearts of everyone who loves motorcycles.
Suzuki TR125
In the spring breeze of the 80s, China's motorcycle market ushered in a new era.
The hallmark of this era was the introduction of the Suzuki TR125 motorcycle from Japan.
This motorcycle, produced by the Japanese company Suzuki, quickly won the love of Chinese consumers with its unique design and superior performance, and became a symbol of that era.
In fact, in the beginning, young Chinese people did not have much interest in Japanese motorcycles, they preferred the heavy weight of Eastern European motorcycles.
However, once they came into contact with Japanese motorcycles, people began to realize their advantages, especially the Suzuki series of motorcycles, which not only looked good, but also had good handling.
Although the Suzuki TR125 has a displacement of only 125cc, its performance is comparable to that of Eastern Europe and the domestic 250 motorcycle.
What's more, the carburetor design of this car is also quite ingenious, located inside the right side of the fuselage, making the whole car look more simple and elegant.
This unique design concept makes the Suzuki TR125 an ideal model in the minds of many post-70s.
The price of the Suzuki TR125 was a symbol of luxury at the time.
Its price rose from the initial 4,600 yuan to 12,000 yuan, which was quite a high price at the time.

Whether in terms of price, performance or exterior design, the Suzuki TR125 shows the advantages of Japanese motorcycles.
Even today, the Suzuki TR125 is still regarded as a generational classic and an unforgettable memory in the hearts of many.
Perhaps the most memorable feature is the exhaust sound signature of the Suzuki TR125.
Unlike other motorcycles such as the Honda CG125 and the GL145 with its loud bang, the Suzuki TR125's exhaust sound is dripping.
This unique sound has also become a memory of that era for many people.
Wild Wolf 125
"I came from the mountains and forests, walked through the green fields, and walked across the ditch and stream. Wild wolves, wild wolves, wild wolves... Heroic and unrestrained,"
This advertising slogan is probably familiar to everyone.
In the 90s, if anyone had a Jialing 125 or a Wuyang Honda 125, it was estimated that the family conditions were already very good.
