How it rides
Simple, upright and torquey low down; it plods along all day at 60-70 km/h and shrugs off rough rural roads.
Quirks owners talk about
Drum brakes front and rear are weak by modern standards; 6V-era electrics and dim lights on older units; many have tampered odometers, non-genuine engines or patched papers — check registration carefully; vibrates above 80 km/h.
Brakes: Drum brakes at both ends — plan stops early, especially with a pillion.

Mechanic's note
Every village mechanic knows the CG's OHV engine; generic and Pakistani/Chinese clone parts are cheap and everywhere, though quality varies.
