Comparison
Resale Assessment
| Honda CG 125 | Suzuki GSX 125 |
| The PAMA report revealed that Honda is ranked top-selling brand in the two-wheeler market competition. Atlas Honda is unbeatable in the two-wheeler manufacturers’ market as 124K is the value for all the manufacturers’ sales while 719K is the figure for AHL sales. CG Honda can be sold at any bike showroom without issues and wait. Honda wins at this point! |
The market resale value of GSX125 is not strong as compared to Honda. It does not mean it will never be sold out, but it just takes time and requires patience. No local dealer purchasing it in cash from you. Because dealers are not taking risks and buy only those bikes that have strong market worth and demand. You can provide your GSX based on consignment to the showroom and you will get paid when the bike is sold out. |
Enactment

| Honda is a better selection because of its low restrain weight, OHV technology, and slim tires. Due to the use of OHV technology which produces more torque than the OHC used which weighs more. Again, CG125 takes the win. |
GSX has more weight and bigger tires than the CG Honda. Therefore, its ratio of power to weight is lower so it can easily lose the drag race with Honda. Engine technology plays a significant role here. GSX uses OHC technology. |
Comfort Level

Expecting comfort from Honda is like hoping for snowfall in July. It is one of the most uncomfortable bikes you can always drive. It makes vibrations, particularly at the speed of 70 Km/h and after 30 minutes of riding your body feels like many pins are being pricked it’s so intense. The seat of a Honda bike is also not comfortable it feels like you are sitting on a brick. So considering this bike for long travel is not a good and comfortable choice. |
The GSX 125 has not been tested yet by our team. According to the owner’s reporting, long tours are comfortable on it and it also vibrates but is not enough noticeable.
Now, GSX turns the game! |

Expecting comfort from Honda is like hoping for snowfall in July. It is one of the most uncomfortable bikes you can always drive. It is also suitable and comfortable to use within a city but in case of long tours, it will lead to exhaustion because of its hard seat and noisy vibration. It is safer and you have fewer chances of accidents during the ride. On this bike, any mechanic can do work on it and its spare parts are also readily available at cheap prices in the market. |
If you are not obsessed with the Honda CG sound and not involved in street racing then GSX is perfect for you to satisfy. It has a seat comfortable like a sofa, a silent engine, good drive posture, and essential meters that provide a smooth riding experience. You already spent 500K and now the additional cost of spare parts purchase is like a mini heart attack because its spare parts are not readily available and also very costly. |
