I once had one of those. Lovely wee bike, started first kick every time,
even after being stood in the rain for a couple of months. Smartly finished
in a classic black shade of hammer enamel.

 

The disc-braked one from the 1980s was a *cracking* little bike. I've
never ever seen one like the bike in the auction.

They also did an even more basic 100cc - ermmm... KC100, that was it.
Ultra-cheap thing. Horrible.

The CD185 Benly was a shite machine. Blanked off electric start and
gutless lump. When they turned it into the CD200 it because a lovely
little commuter.

And if the seller thinks a 185 Benly is an "ideal learner bike" he knows
more than I do.

I think it's a Kawasaki G5, not a KH100. Same basic bike but different
name. One of my ex-girlfriends had one same colour as that. My cousin
Chris had a KH100EX in blue and I had a red KE100A9.

They were cheap as chips and crashed well. Very very reliable too. Our
local Kawasaki dealer sold shitloads of the things to 17 yr olds.

Hey its possible ! Fair enough the brakes arent the greatest, but it will
go to work and back all day long...

 

Wasnt the G5 an early version of the KE ? - Like a shit trailie/trials thing
? - Time to investigate I think..

That's why I said "I think" at the beginning. I'm sure the G5 was a road
bike.

 

Time to stop looking at pictures on the net, i've confused myself even more
now...

 

What part of "learner" and "185cc" do you not understand, you thick
twat?

 

My brother learnt on it ? Whats the problem ?

 

How long ago was that? What were the learner laws like then? What are
they like now? Find out the answers to these, and many more simple
questions, on next week's exciting edition...

 

And he's now an OAP, right?

 

Champ says...

They did use the G5 designation. We can't make up our minds if the G5
was a road or trail bike. I'll go see my ex, Maureen, she's still got
the bike and she'll know.

 

Moto Guzzi did.....

So did Matchless.

 

It was a trail bike, as was the curious 10-speed G4 of the same era.

 

Preston Kemp says...

So what was the road bike version's designation?

 

Sorry, haven't got a clue.

 

After abit more hunting looks like its a Kawasaki G7T

Thanks

That is almost identical to my old KE100

That's almost identical to Maureen's old bike.
