Honda's CG, Brazil's best-selling motorcycle, has reached its 50th anniversary on the market, marked by the launch of the commemorative 'CG 160 Special Edition 50 Anos.' Priced at 20,976 reais. Production of the CG began at the Manaus plant in October 1976, and it has since become Brazil's all-time best-seller with over 15 million units sold. The anniversary model comes in solid red with '50 ANOS' branding on the fender and tank, powered by a 162.7cc single-cylinder engine producing up to 14.7hp.

A machine born in Manaus in 1976 has reached 15 million units over half a century. The CG is the very history of Brazil walking alongside two-wheelers. It has no flashy specs. But a machine that has kept supporting people's daily lives has every right to call itself a true classic. The anniversary model's red isn't a winner's red, it's the red that has carried the mornings of countless working people. This is exactly the kind of machine I want to pay my respects to.

Coming out of the Manaus plant is also a fitting parallel to CFMoto's local-production plans.

15 million units — that's an impressive scale even compared to the worldwide cumulative total of Japan's Super Cub.

A commemorative edition with the '50 ANOS' logo — probably almost identical under the skin to the standard version, but it should still scratch that ownership itch.

Even just the anniversary logo and single red color let you experience 50 years of history, so it carries its own kind of value.

R$20,976 for a single-color-red anniversary model — nice that the pricing stays within CG's practical, everyday-bike range.

162.7cc and 14.7hp look modest on paper, but 15 million units sold over 50 years says everything you need to know.

Over 15 million units total since production began in October 1976 — the title of Brazil's best-selling model of all time is well earned.

15 million units in half a century — simple math puts that at a steady 300,000 units a year, proof of consistent supply all along.
