All these people fighting like kids over what? Bikes? meh
Seriously dudes ... both bikes are of same class/category i.e. 125 attached to a rigid fact they are in pakistan (which means k techonolgical bikes ka to sawal he paida nahin hota) ... so why even bother to start a discussion which is better and which is not.
Even bike out there has its advantages.
CG-125 has its own. Its a 4 Speed Gear Box bike which means Longer Gear Ratios to stretch the speeds of 120 km/h over every gear. Lacks the comfort, true ... because of rear rigid shock-absorbers but on a bright side, those very same shock-absorbers help the bike maintain its balance around corners. Rely TOTALLY over front shock-absorbers. Its Much harder to control the biker over top speeds of 120km/h ... 1 second aap ne concentration loose ki, and aap ka ALLAH malik.
Ravi Piaggio/Deluxe ... made for comfort & style, with 5 speed Gear Box. Has shorter gear ratios for first 3 gears and long gear ratios for the rest (4th & 5th). Much comfortable than CG-125, but engine remains the same category. Only the 5 speed gear box give it a little edge over CG-125. Both bikes have expensive spare parts. Heck even a tyre alone may cost 3k.
Fact remains that Honda is still most loveable bike in Pakistan because of the sound it produces. CG-125 is loveable because of sound + cheaper spare parts (it may be hard to swallow but most mechanics recommend you this bike for the very same reason. Top speed or not, is another issue)
Mark my words, i've tried ALL THREE bikes. I love ALL THREE. NONE of the bike could go beyond 100 & 110km/h on Stock settings. But they did go beyond 110 till 120 after a tunning from my mechanic. Who only settled Bike's Tappets & Carburettor.
Piaggio & Deluxe both are very comfortable bike and i dislike Deluxe because of its Price/Performance factor. Like Ravi because of its Low Price Tag comparative to Deluxe. CG-125 is for sound & classic style lovers only.
5 speed Gear box is superior to a 4 speed gear box in LONG RUN ... period
Now starting a useless deabate over it wont take someone to mars.
@umer!! About time you stop taking sides brother. I've seen maximum comments from you in which you DRASTICALLY disliked CG-125 and all the love remained for Piaggio. Infact, you were the one who said k Deluxe 90km/hr se uper nai jata, which is a false statement. True for a brand new bike, because the tappets settings + fuel mixture is just not right for the bike to make it go beyond 100km/h.
Another thing ... Suzuki GS150 is COMPLETELY out of the equation. Seriously ... how can one even think about comparing a 125cc engine with 150cc engine. The other bad offering like Drum Brakes and el-cheapo looks aside.
