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 IPV A. 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.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

São Paulo Government launches fire prevention program on highways to protect rural areas, agricultural and livestock production, and the environment

magniX’s new electric motor promises 175 kW, weighs only 55 kg, and targets light training aircraft.

The Amazon begins to fail in silence: areas of the planet’s largest tropical forest emit more carbon than they absorb, lose resilience after extreme droughts, and transform the green that still seems intact into a climate warning before visible collapse.

Noroeste Paulista highways gain 19 new service points and expand free support for motorists since 2023

Brazil is experiencing two climates at the same time, with temperatures below zero in the South while the Central part of the country bakes at almost 37°C, and the turn of the month promises no relief for either side.

The owner of a supermarket chain that grosses R$ 25 billion per year bought a Brazilian club and is now investing hundreds of millions to go head-to-head with Flamengo and Palmeiras.

Blue lanes for motorcycles are spreading across Brazil, and the data that convinced municipalities to adopt the idea is so striking that it’s hard to ignore.

The giant batteries that can prevent blackouts in Brazil are not located in famous power plants, act in seconds to save the electrical system, and can even reduce the value of the electricity bill without the consumer noticing.

6 promising professions for those over 35 who want to restart their careers are gaining traction in Brazil, with high demand in technology, above-average salaries, and accelerated growth driven by digitalization.

In the city of Dalat, Vietnam, an architect built a giant tree-shaped hotel with rooms inside mushrooms, spider webs in the corridors, and caves on the floors — and it is considered the most bizarre building in Southeast Asia.
