The CG 160 Is a Dream for Young People, but Between IPVA, Fuel, Insurance, and Parts, Costs Can Be Surprising at the End of the Month.
The Honda CG 160, considered the most beloved bike among young people, has a price around R$ 23,000 for the Titan version. Fuel efficiency is one of its biggest advantages as the bike achieves about 40 km per liter.
Therefore, riding 1000 km per month, the average expense is R$ 200 on fuel. For those working in apps like iFood, this amount increases significantly as mileage goes up.
Fixed Annual Costs
On taxes, the owner spends around R$ 460 per year on IPVA. Additionally, the insurance is not easy to obtain, as many insurers avoid this model.

Basic Maintenance
Honda recommends that the oil change for the CG 160 be done every 4,000 km, with level checks every 1,000 km or before long trips.
Using the original Honda oil, the cost is around R$ 60. Truth be told: for that price, you can buy two liters.
However, the CG tends to consume oil, requiring constant attention. The chain kit costs an average of R$ 110 but can be found for R$ 80. The change is simple and can be done at home.
Parts and Replacements
Tires cost approximately R$ 600 per pair, depending on the brand. The spark plug used is unique and can be found for R$ 65. Changing the clutch costs around R$ 180. If it’s necessary to replace the side fairings, the pair costs about R$ 200.
The CG 160 stands out because it combines an affordable price, fuel economy, and simple maintenance. Even with additional costs for insurance and parts, it remains one of the easiest and cheapest bikes to maintain in Brazil.
