We're back in the workshop to finish off the preparations on our Ultimate Honda CG 125 adventure build make them ready to tackle a round the world Journey!
Our first leg takes us from the UK, through Europe and down the length of Africa, and to Cape Town in South Africa. Will we have done enough to get us there?

What modifications would you have made to the CG to get it ready for a round the world adventure?

Not sure what tyres you are running… if kenda then they don’t have great longevity.

@@ILikeMotorbikes I meant no disrespect, they look amazing! I’m just aware you’re going to be doing a massive amount of miles, something like the Michelin City Pro will last a lot longer and offer better road manners and longevity. They’re also good on small bikes for offroad too. Enjoy 👍

@ILikeMotorbikes 7 ай бұрын

@GodspeedChris no disrespect taken. Just a matter of fact thing they'll get replaced as and when they worn out. I've used the city grip Pro before and they definitely won't offer anywhere near the offroad grip of these or similar tyres but the road riding is much better. Its all a compromise ultimately

Travel safe and enjoy. Maybe we'll see you when you arrive in here in South Africa. Maybe consider lifting the front mudguard a few cm/inch? When you travel in muddy terrain it clogs up between the wheel and mudguard, causing the wheel to completely seize up until you remove the mud, ride 2 meters and clogs up again.

My wife is from the Philippines, they build Honda's there. Tmx 125, they come premodified for a side car. $1300 AUD, they go for years, they are amazing. I've seen two guys and a water buffalo ( yearling) going down the hwy at 40kmh 😂

@terrybarton8388 5 ай бұрын

Those bags covering that little engine are not a good idea. It needs as much cool airflow as you can give it. Don’t forget that engine only holds a small amount of oil. You’re starting a problem from the off.

Are you going to uprate the suspension to take the extra weight. Stiffer spings or spacers inside the forks would help with pre-load / sag and maybe twin shocks off a heaver bike for the rear. Otherwise bottoming out and ground clearance could be a real issue.

@Jodyrides 5 ай бұрын

interesting, can I make a suggestion? you need more space between the front wheel and that front fender because on some roads that are muddy, that wheel will actually pack so much mud inside that fender it will not turn. been there..

@ILikeMotorbikes 5 ай бұрын

I've ridden my bike on plenty of trails and haven't found any mud that clogged the front wheel... but I've found plenty of mud! Usually the leading edge of the mudguard scrapes the mud off in my experience with the claggy welsh mud but we'll see if my outlook changes throughout Africa!

@dutchsailor6620 4 ай бұрын

@@ILikeMotorbikes Not all mud is the same... Also: Keep your engine as free in the airflow as possible, high temperatures will degrade the oil very quickly and you might want to reconsider your topcase. They make for awful handling and they are never large enough. Instead you might want to look into a toploading dry bag that will have its size adjusted according to your needs.

I think it maybe worth attaching the rear Lomo pannier bags to the bike or maybe just securing to the bike... Because I have the same bags and a issue is ,if not secured and one bag is full and one empty it get all jiggerly....maybe just a strap or belt around the joining strip and then around the pannier bracket...plus I would have a Lomo roll top bag to hold the stuff you have in your top box ,,and just use your top box for really light styff and put your helmet in when parked up..... regards

The lomo bags get strapped down to the frame and rear footpeg bracket when riding. I didn't show the exact solution in the video (as it came later)

There is more foam and its softer, taller and slightly wider than standard however you still get a slightly numb bum. It just doesn't get progressively worse like it used too!

I'm planning a similar trip from the UK to Capetown starting in October or November ( likewise, on a light bike ) in my case a Yamaha XT250. Anyway, was wondering about your route. In particular, why you were leaving out The Gambia, Sierra leone and Liberia. Is it just a route thing to avoid getting so many visas? Or is there something I don't know about? When are you planning to start your trip as, you never know, we might bump into to each other.

@ILikeMotorbikes 7 ай бұрын

Best of luck with your trip! We're actually delayed but back in France now to continue our journey heading south. Likelihood is we'll visit Sierra Leone but maybe not The Gambia and Liberia. Largely due to additional visa costs but let's see when we get there The Gambia especially is meant to be very pleasant to visit
