The CG125 is powered by a very fuel efficient 124cc single [[Cylinder (engine)|cylinder]] [[Four Stroke|4-stroke]] [[OHV]] [[engine]] that has changed little over the years. With careful use, it is quite capable of achieving more than 100[[Miles per gallon|mpg]], and over it's comparatively long history the CG has earned itself as a reputation as a "bullet proof" machine. | |||
Due to its design success, several direct copies of the CG125 have sprung up (mostly from [[China|Chinese]] and [[Korea|Korean]] manufacturers), such as the ''Hongdou CG125'', the ''Champ Commuter'', the ''Warrior Dispatch'' and the ''[[Kymco]] Pulsar125''. | |||
In [[Brazil]] and in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], it is easily the most widely used beginner motorcycle by training schools. | |||
