50 years, 15 million units — the numbers the CG has racked up in Brazil aren't merely commercial success. They're a piece of civilizational history: one utility bike supporting people's livelihoods and mobility for half a century. A classic isn't defined by speed or rarity alone. A machine that stays close to everyday life and gets handed down across generations is what truly deserves to be called a legendary bike.

If it's about durability, the Yamaha YBR belongs in the same conversation too. Honda gets way too much hype.

15 million units is just monstrous. A true legendary bike is about toughness, not flashiness.

The CG, that's the air-cooled OHV one, right? Selling continuously in Brazil for 50 years is genuinely impressive.

Sorry, what would the CG roughly compare to in Japan? First time hearing the name.

A bike that just doesn't break locally is the most admirable thing. That durability on Latin American roads is exactly right.

Doesn't quite land when they push the anniversary of something not even sold in Japan... who's this web series really for?

In emerging markets where fuel economy and cheap parts are everything, I get why the CG's unbeatable. Running costs are justice.
