New toy.

[Dirty]

Acquired from my mother in law, a Honda CG125! it's been sitting in her garage for the last 5 years, so needs a lot of work, but it'll keep me busy this winter. (Very excited and had to tell someone.).
Now to book that CBT...
If anyone's got any hints on restoration, please let me know. It's going to be a big project, but its what my garage is for...

Start off by just draining the tank and stick some fresh petrol in, it'll probably have water/ crud in it and I'd assume you'll need a new battery as well. Clean the plugs and then give it a go it may well surprise you!

I restored a 1975 Suzuki GT125, so my advice is just to be realistic about what parts and pieces you need to replace and not get too carried away with it. Decide what you want to achieve and stick to it - you can easily get excited and order loads of bits that soon add up. When you look back you realise you only wanted a good working runaround, but you've ended up with a show bike that has cost you a bomb

New oil and filter too clean out the carb and jets

In my experience, a CG125 is a pretty simple bike to maintain. As others have said, it may be a lot easier to get going than you think!
Good luck with the project.
