Help, .. What's the deal with Hongdou CG125?

I'm a first time buyer is this a worthy bargain at £995.00 (that's the
going price for all of them) I ask this coz I've never come across the
brand...

You are looking at a Hongdou (Honda) CG 125 which is a paralell badged
and brought up to date import.This Bike is absolutely Brand New and
comes with all of the latest EU Certification. It is Manufactured by
Hongdou in China under licence from Honda. They are not permitted due to
marketing restrictions to use the Honda brand in Europe. They are ISO
9001 approved and use all Honda parts, so servicing and spares are no
problem.
This Motorcycle is fully assembled, checked and tested and comes pre-
registered and ready to ride on the new 2004 ?04? plate with 12 months
Tax, so there are no headaches with paperwork and it can be delivered to
your home or work for around £125. Not a cheap copy, or an unknown
brand, This is a Honda CG 125 replica which is paralell badged. The
frame houses Honda's renouned 'Bullet Proof 4 Stroke OHV Single Cylinder
Engine' which has proved to be ultra reliable. One of the easiest bikes
to ride and great fun too

Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods.
Cats have never forgotten this.

 

They're cheap enough for a new bike, but I'd consider buying a £400 CG
2nd hand, using it until you've passed your test, then selling it on for
£400.

The Hongdu is only really worth buying if you're going to use it as a
commuter bike for several years.

.... and can fix it yourself. Don't forget that.

 

They're pretty good basic bikes. Depreciation is heavy, but as the
initial purchase price is so low you don't lose a vast amount of dosh.

Warning - this sounds like it's been copied and pasted from Ebay. Do
not, on any account, by a new bike from an Ebay merchant. You want a
proper dealer, with a proper parts and service back-up. you do.

Did you buy one and now they're cursed too?

 

Is this fellow a first time buyer?
He appears to be a spammer.
He should at least get a free bike for that excellent advert,
and not a piece of crap such as a Hongdou.

Hmmm. The style sounds rather familiar! Copy by NM, in exchange for a bottle
of claret?

 

And so it should. Looking good so far! Digits crossed for you.
