CFmoto 'Baboon' 125

I saw a few of these buzzing around shanghai lately and thought i'd look them up. It looks like a big Honda 'Monkey'.

The chinese forums are calling it 狒狒 which is a baboon, but there's various other names on the pics i've seen.

Looks like a fun town bike!

Saw one of these at the Jaoji Lu shops 2 weeks ago. The owner had just had a custom muffler installed and it looked pretty sharp. I tried sitting on it but could not even fit my size twelve under the gear changer.

That is one bad azz looking bike! I suppose they are not in the US?! Would make a cool replacement for a 50-150cc scooter. Wonder what the top speed is for one of those?

The rider was pretty good. I liked the dismount at the end of the video.

a dual sport one of those would be mint looks like the normal CG/CB125 replica engine would be pretty easy to mod up abit, change the front mudguard have it at the headlight and wallah a midi size Honda SL 125

Was out riding with a couple of buddies a few weeks ago and saw a pair of them in front of a bike shop.

To give you an idea of the bike's relative size "in the wild" ... front rider is very tall (probably 190 cms?) ... rear rider is very wide (probably at least 125 kgs?)

My misses would look total bad ass on one of those. Too bad she's scared shitless of bicycles, cuz I would love to see her puttering around on something like this.

I had the same thought, would be a great starter bike for the girlfriend so we could go riding together; but likewise she's not that into it...
