Super Power SP 125 or Honda CG 125

[wajiextra]

Assalam o alikum Pak wheelers, I have been a silent reader of the bike forums for a long time and finally decided to post. I have been riding a 2012 Super Power 70cc but now I am deciding to upgrade, looking at the hiked up prices, I decided to go with Super power 125cc 2023 model but some people say that Chinese bikes don't have good quality, always go for Honda but since I have owned a Chinese 70cc for so long, to this day my bike never gave any major issue of any kind, although I am a very rough rider since I have to go to university in morning and office at night so I am always kinda late due to lack of sleep xD. Anyways, The reason I want to go for a Super Power 125 is that I have a Super Power 70 and I do it's regular maintenance every month and it never gave any major issues in these 11 years just monthly maintenance works perfectly fine. Now some people will say go for Honda 125 since it's Japanese and it's better quality, but I have test rode a new 2023 CG 125 (one of my friend recently bought it) and tbh it was full of vibration and lack of road grip, on the contrary when I test rode the 2023 Super Power 125, it was much better, it was heavier than the new CG and had overall better grip. It also had vibration tho but not that major, although much better than the new CG 125. But the thing is I am still confused CG 125 is a lot more expensive than the Super Power 125 but I found the new Super Power 125 to be better overall. I don't want to go for a used bike so that is not an option only want a new bike so I have these two options so I am confused which one to go for, keeping in mind the street crimes of Karachi city nowadays.
Sorry for such a long post but really need some suggestions please...

You already have the answers by riding both bikes and comparing the ride

Also if things kept well they perform good! Be it china or Honda

Yeah I understand that but still I am confused why people are so obsessed with Honda and they always look down upon Chinese models especially 125cc category. Is there any specific reason? I really want to make the right choice as I will be keeping it in the longer run, maybe 10 years and will not sale it. so that's why I am still asking for suggestions, I searched the forums for reviews of Super Power 125 (regular) but mostly I see people talking about super power 125 deluxe model. That's why I opened this thread to get suggestions from specifically the owners of SP 125 (regular) if any otherwise other pakwheeler's experience is also appreciated if they ever got a chance to ride one.

It's all about after resale services and durability. I have 07 model CG125 clocked 128k on odo with several long highway and off road trips across Pakistan, never had any problem on short/long routes. Just do timely oil change, filter cleaning and avoid Hathora Ustaads. It will serve you 10-20 years.

I understand and I know that older models Honda CG 125s are way much better than the newer ones. What I am looking for is an authentic comparison between the China 125 especially Super Power and Honda CG 125 2023 models bcz I want to choose between the two and I am confused whether to go for Honda or Super Power bcz what I noticed as far as the quality is concerned in the newer models, they both seem to be the same but what I am looking for is better reliability in the longer run. We all know about the after sales service of Honda they have wide network all across the country Super Power also has a big network and for the 70cc I own, after sales service has never been a problem for me. One more thing is that you all know that Honda 125s are more prone to getting snatched and I mostly travel at night time and early in the morning since I have a night job, so that's why I am confused which one to go for...

Did you get more information or make a decision? The difference in price is major, almost 2/3rd the price as compared to a honda.

It's a sad story mate, I got the Honda 125, although I liked Super Power one but some people in my friend circle suggested Honda for long term reliability, and unfortunately got snatched by four Ghair Muqamis on gun point bcz this is the Karachi I live in bro, can't even buy things that I desire bcz I live in Karachi unfortunately. So yeah, I wanted to write a review but since I only had the bike for hardly 5 days so I didn't bother to do so, anyways, back to my Super Power 70, again

Bro, really sorry for you. Buy a gun, and practice. Or move out. I do not know why, but Lahore doesn't see this stuff for some reason. Best wishes.

[wajiextra]

Bruh, it's not a wise move to pull out a gun when there are 4 Dakaits and you are alone, so it's better to move out of here bcz Sindh govt is just f'kin around doing nothing for street crimes.

[ifadey]

I am very sorry for your loss. It's truely heart breaking.

My cousin also lost Honda bike when he was new in Karachi city. Since then he never owned Honda again. Only Chinese bikes.

When everyone knows that the government doesn't care shit, and has even been caught in helping those rascals, then why exactly don't you karachites make a band and finish off this horrendous crime rate?

Bhai bht log mare jaty hain din may bht dakait mrty hain bht beqasoor shhri marty hain but kya krein iss se zyada or hamari police kch nhi krti sare departments bekar pare hain nobody does sh*t. Karachi chorna akhri hal reh gya hy but kya karain yahan se nkl k jayen to jayen kahan

[drabdullahorth]

Bhai, hum hain na, fikr na karo . But seriously, if you have the money, come to Bahria town. Hands down the best place in Lahore. Even walking at the streets at 3 am, nobody can do shit to you. It is insanely secure.

Anyways, more power to you bro.
