New motorcycle ownership

Plan the new-bike running-in and first-service record

Use the exact-model guide to separate the approximate 1,000 km petrol running-in window, 500 km or 1,000 km first-oil checkpoint, one-month-or-1,000-km first free service and later dealer entries. It does not invent a universal 40/50 km/h road-speed rule or transfer petrol rules to ICON e. Open the running-in and first-service guide.

Official spare-parts price reference

Check every product in the dated official online catalogue

Use the Atlas Honda genuine spare-parts price guide for all 13 products visible in the official category on 1 September 2026, their exact CD70 or CG125 application wording and a private inquiry-preparation tool. The PKR 140–3,550 displayed range is not a fitment, stock, labour, delivery or final-quote promise.

Compare CG125-family seat height, weight and stationary handling

CG125 publishes a 764 mm seat and 100 kg dry weight; CG125S and Gold publish 765 mm and 108 kg. Those figures do not decide real rider fit. Use the current dimension comparison and private showroom-fit planner before an exact-unit supervised check.

All three current CG125 variants publish the same 150 kg prescribed limit.

The load-capacity guide and private combined-load planner show what the limit does and does not mean. Count people, PPE, luggage and accessories; check every smaller item limit separately.

The CG125 family shares tread minimums, but condition still controls each wheel.

All three current variants publish 1.5 mm front and 2.0 mm rear. Use the exact replacement guide for TWI, damage, leakage, uneven wear, impact and complete fitment instead of a model-family mileage shortcut.

Shared 25/25W headlamps do not erase CG125 variant electrical differences.

Use the exact lighting matrix to retain the standard model's 12V 2.5Ah and 10A fields versus the Self/Gold 12V 7Ah and 15A fields, along with complete current part fitment.
