Hello guys with the grace of Almighty Allah i have bought honda cg125 dream its used bike
i have already mentioned about this purchase in pw fellow "Farhansa's" thread
i had planned to purchase 125 dream as it was launched but was unable to purchase as
i was confused visor noise issue disappointed me in the end simply i was unable to
purchase it but now recently i heard of its poor resale value so decided to buy it and
luckily i found one cg dream too i was more interested to buy black but looking at condition
of bike i decided to go for it and i am happy with my purchase i was considering to buy cg classic
too it was an option too as personally i have not kept cg classic wanted to test and keep it but
i rejected it and chose to buy cg dream as cg's uncomfortable drive could have troubled me alot
i travel good on bike very often go to my village which is 70km away from my city. i have not
personally kept cg classic but have driven of my friend its seat is very hard and bike is known for
uncomfortable drive so in the end decided to buy new face of it cg dream i have tested 70cc,100cc
5 gear 125cc and now 4 gear 125cc cg classic and cg dream both having same engine
Atlas CG Dream: I have already talked about its style and looks already in this my thread i was highly
Honda CG125 Dream - First Impressions
inspired by its looks no doubt its attractive looking bike but at that time i had no riding experience of
125 dream.People say its small bike and include myself too in that list too i also felt its small bike specially
from rear and also when ever i saw it passing on roads but when i have purchased it and its all the time
infront of my eyes its no way small the bike feels heavy in looks and while driving its like driving big bike as deluxe
fuel tank is very good design driving position is good seat is soft and comfortable and pillion rider sits high
sitting as pillion is good feeling way better than cg classic and as mentioned don't get misguided by your eyes
it may look small but sitting on bike tells real story pleasure of riding.
CG Classic & CG Dream both having same frame and same tyres but many things are changed that changes feeling
of riding too cg dream has different riding experience as compare to cg classic
The suspension in CG Dream is very good if i compare it with all atlas honda bikes they are the best in performance
comparing performance of both front & rear with other ahl bikes both shocks performance. Deluxe has very good front
shocks but rear one's are too tight for light weight person even at lowest settings they are hard and comparing to pridor
its rear shocks are too soft fails to work with weight more than 160kg on bike and its front are good but not as good as
cg dream they are hard too cg classic front shocks makes noise and are uncomfortable as par my experience on friend's cg
its rear are good but can prove hard for light weight person. CG Dream front shocks are right soft absorbs jerks very nicely
and rear one's with low wight when driving single feel good but with weight they become hard they work very good pillion rider
might feel them hard but rider has great experience bike does not lower even when heavy pillion sitting it gives good feeling
no jerks from rear shocks you are good at bad roads speed breakers overall suspension in this atlas honda bike is very good
UPDATE: I must update this regarding performance of cg dream rear suspension i posted this thread quickly after buying
bike now as i have spent more time on bike recently i happened to sit on bike as pillion rider on bad road with many bad spots i
definitely did not enjoy its ride suspension is good at speed breakers but its hard on bad roads you are not in comfort
when sitting as pillion rider rear shocks are hard they are good to absorb slight jerks but on bad roads experience is not good
i am taking my words back which i said above on cg dream suspension that cg dream has best shocks in atlas honda bikes In rear
suspension my vote still goes to CD70 it has good shocks absorbers they are better than deluxe,pridor & cg dreams shocks
i am heavy body yet i feel its suspension hard & tough imagine if light weight person sits on bike as pillion i am disappointed with
cg dream rear suspension when you are riding bike it has good feel but pillion is not in comfort however its front shocks are very good
CG Dream is having same OHV 4 Gear engine acceleration and response of bike is very good i am having great feeling specially
as i have upgraded from 70cc to 125cc
. One thing has greatly surprised coming to performance of bike we know
CG Dream has same frame & same ohv engine i have experience 2011 model cg and have driven few times euro 2 cg too and
i have driven 2011 non euro cg at 100km/h the bike had serious vibration my feets were almost slipping from foot rest and bike
did not feel in control but this is not case with cg dream i drove it on 100km/h with one hand and my friend drove it at 110km/h
with one hand recorded video too the bike feels very much in control obviously engine screams at this speed but bike is very much
in control very good grip and there is slight vibration in feet its not troubling i personally give concentration on vibration
in feet till 100km/h honestly slight vibration the feeling is obviously not smooth at this speed as ohv engine screams noisy muffler
and there is vibration in handle of bike which is notable even at lower speeds too which i was not expecting in cg dream
as bike has complete new front so unexpected happened what was expected too much vibrations in feet i am surprised no terrible
vibration there is some vibration but its slight and its in right foot rest
The Gear shifts are not smooth when you shift 1st gear and leave clutch you listen kir kir khe sound can be felt in 2nd gear too but
mostly its in first gear if you get use to of driving it you can avoid sound if you adjust to this engine else its in flaw
I have not faced any knocking so far in engine so its knocking free earlier cg engines had knocking issue
The bike touches 100km/h almost every time & top speed with slight hand down took it to 115km/h i weigh these days 116kg's
these figures are obviously very good for this bike i tested accuracy with gps application in mobile at speed 60,80 & 90 the error came of 4-5km/h unfortunately have not been able to test its top speed with this app
Adding Photo From Atlas Honda Site CG Dream Features Changes Done

All changes are impressive to give bike complete new modern fresh look and its nice
handle lock in ignition like deluxe & pridor also given too
Headlight has good focus light is good on road
But Atlas Honda messed up in visor fitting and its an shame how come they are allowing bike
from factory going for sale with noisy visor brand new zero meter cg dream's visor makes
noise with throttle even if bikes standing still and its really frustrating and embarrassing. Even
while cleaning headlight you listen plastic noises which gives really cheap feeling
Update: Atlas Honda has also messed up with seat cowl fitting it also makes noise. Noise is clearly
noticeable such noise from brand bike is really frustrating a fellow pakwheelers had also complained
about this issue but this was not found in cg dream of fellow Farhansa & Turab like visor noise its present
in all cg dream's but i guess definitely Atlas has messed here too recently i noticed noise from rear cowl
some times its listenable and some time noise vanished you can clearly listen noise when sitting as pillion
also noticeable when driving alone too
CONS
*Noisy Visor
*Noisy Gear Box
*Noisy Rear Cowl
*Vibration In Handle
*Sporty Seat Bar: is good looking but its not convenient for lifting bike its strong but when lift bike
with hand you feel pain in hand there surface underneath it should have been without edges
*Brakes: are not effective to stop bike immediately front is good but rear one is not good this makes
cg125 dangerous it has powerful engine and very good acceleration but poor brakes can take you to
trouble easily
CONS (Update)
*Tappet Cover Oil Seepage
*Oil Leakge From Tachometer Cable
Updating for two cons and faults i have found in cg in engine and i think its common error in almost
all cg125 engines for the first tappet cover oil stains now either its flaw by atlas honda or its because
of improper method of mechanics after the first tuning i always see oil stains on tappet cover i clean
after a day or two day running they again appear so you have to clean it else they will be there other
major flaw you will find in most cg's is oil leakage tachometer cable in my case i have already told in
detail its been really frustrated issue for me you can find links in first post
Some words on issue told in first list of CONS
Noisy Visor issue has been sorted out by atlas honda i have asked 3-4 guys who bought brand new cg dream
they said no issue of noisy visor though it frustrated me alot i have gotten rid of it by using rubber
Noisy Gearbox issue is there present and Noisy Cowl in my case present though not many complained of it
but i personally there is need of improvement there too hope atlas has done some thing
Vibration In Handle this is not serious there was some vibration, Now its not annoying almost gone from bike
after tightening of bolts
FUEL AVERAGE: See Post #50,#57,#274
FINAL THOUGHTS CG DREAM:
I will start with the major problems that have been found in new cg dream after installation of new
parts to change its looks and those are no 1 is noisy visor its really frustrating embarrassing i feel sorry
for cg dream owners who spent money on brand new bike and its visor making noise from day 1 bike bought
from showroom and 2 problem i found its rear seat cowl also makes noise now such noises should have not
been present in bike else other common issues that are found in cg classic engine those are also present in bike
as bike has same engine,frame & same tyres same brakes.
Now coming to its good despite those issues which really should have not been present in bike still all new look feels good
and new suspension new seat and new parts makes riding pleasure driving position is good & bike is comfortable to drive
it does not tire you bike is good for long drives road grip is very good even with heavy weight you can take turns easily
bike does not shake on high speeds its stable vibrations are there in bike handle & foot rests but they are not troubling
new sporty seat is soft and comfortable to sit front shocks are very good rear are tough but like atlas honda bikes cg & deluxe
i think same mistake done in cg dream i don't have best experience of cg classic rear shocks i can say from deluxe it has tough
rear shocks overall cg dream like all atlas honda bike has some issues but still overall good bike gives better driving experience
and feel as compare to cg classic and price difference is not much its available just 3k more than cg classic so its good to have
changed new shape bike we are not expecting new latest engines from atlas honda so atleast good to have changes in years old
bike but those noises from parts should not be present in bike that shows poor work atlas did good work in case of CD100 to Pridor
In the End i highly recommend atlas honda kindly do remove those noises from visor and rear cowl alteast from upcoming cg dreams that are being manufactured in your factory as with such noises its flop bike and people would not take interest in cg dream
