I wanted to change bike and after reading forums, I decided to go for Honda CG 125 Dream. So I went to market and got one.
After a drive of 10 km, what I felt is:
1-Bike is very comfortable to ride on normal roads.(did not try highway or bad roads) It runs very smooth. Seat is super soft. Grip is awesome shock absorbers are great.
2- Sound is crisp. Engine is smooth. Clutch is smooth.
3- There is no noise of plastic vibrating.
4- Driving position felt odd to me. One sits little tilted forward. Maybe it is because of change of bike from Honda CD 70.
5- Brakes are awesome(both).
6- while shifting gear down, there is little bit krich sound
7- Meter lighting in dark is poor. It looks awesome in day.

I hope it was useful for fellow bikers.

Congrats its very good motorcycle, just do not visit mechanics uselessly take care of bike in running period first 1000km or atleast first 500-600km keep the top speed 45-55km/h and avoid quick accelerations.

change first oil 200km 2nd 600km 3rd 1000km

do not disturb clutch settings and no need of tuning at 1000km enjoy it 3000km with factory settings you would love the bike.

you would adjust to new riding position by time and cg dream has very good riding position

CG Dream is alot alot better than CG Classic

Thanks for good advice. I will follow. Agreed that it is better than Classic in many things. This is my first 125. always used 70s.

I didnt get the answer for the sound KRITCH..
Why HONDA cant remove this sound..its so annoying in all 125 Engine Bikes....

meh1 (meh1) 2018-02-01 18:27:30 +0500 #11

Which kritch sound? explain

Does it have self start, fuel guage, adjustable suspension and disk brake? I was thinking to buy ybz but after visiting this thread I thought to ask your opinion. What do you suggest? Does it also vibrate at high speed like cg classic?

meh1 (meh1) 2018-02-01 18:46:25 +0500 #13

No self start, No Fuel gauge, No adjustable suspension but softer suspension and softer seat with rubbers at bottom that reduce vibration. No disk brake.
It has same engine and frame as 125 so vibrates.
I like mine because its beautiful, different, good resale, easy parts and mechanic availability, good fuel average, power, top speed of 115(only suzuki 150 beats it) and lastly aerodynamic shape. Plastic parts are strong but you still need to take care of it.
Thats my review after using it for exactly one year. Will share pics soon.

BTW it has Philips H4 german bulb. crystal headlight that is very bright and light is like a projector. you can clearly see the cut off line.

After releasing clutch while putting gear..there is a KRITCH Sound.....

it is very good review of cg dream and thats what cg dream all about.

i personally did not like this sound and was annoying for me but i don't face this issue with my current cg dream. This sound has relation with clutch settings if your bikes clutch settings specially & chain settings are not as par company recommended you will face this kir kir sound in 1st gear. It also depends on user as well how he releases clutch.

set the clutch lever free play to 20mm

meh1 (meh1) 2018-02-15 14:48:05 +0500 #18

Yes there is that sound. I think this sound comes when you change gear for example to 4 and speed at low speed. This comes only when there is a passenger. But if you drive it like a 125 mean shift at higher rpm, there will be no sound.
