Our verdict

Both are Atlas Honda's long-running kick-start commuters with four gears and drum brakes at both ends, and both have the strongest resale of any bike in Pakistan. The CD 70 is Rs 159,900 with a 72cc OHC engine, an 8.5-litre tank and 82 kg dry weight. The CG 125 is Rs 238,500 with a 124cc OHV engine, a 9.2-litre tank and 100 kg.

The gap is in load and speed. The CD 70's 72cc engine is built for one rider on short city trips; with a pillion, luggage or a long climb it runs out of pull. The CG 125 has 52cc more and a wider 3.00-17 rear tyre against the CD 70's 2.50-17, so it carries two people and holds an intercity cruise more comfortably. Atlas Honda publishes no power figure for either bike.

Neither has an official fuel average. PakWheels puts a run-in, well-maintained CD 70 at about 50-53 km/l with one rider and lists about 45 km/l for the CG 125, while a Pakistan Observer report put the CG 125 nearer 35-37 km/l depending on use and maintenance. Over 1,000 km that is roughly 20 litres for the CD 70 against 22 to 29 for the CG 125.

Buy the CD 70 if you ride alone, mostly in town, and want the lowest purchase price, the lowest running cost and the easiest resale in the country. Buy the CG 125 if you regularly carry a pillion or ride between cities: the 70 will do it, but not comfortably.

Specs side by side

A value is marked only where better is clear-cut — a lower price, more cc, a bigger tank, more claimed km/l, more ground clearance, a higher rating, disc over drum, self start over kick — and only when the gap is big enough for a rider to notice. Differences too small to feel, like a cc or two or a tenth of a rating point, are left unmarked. “—” means the figure is not published.
