Honda CB125 Review

06 Nov, 2024 12:00 AM

Overview

So let’s get into the Honda CB125. It is straightforward, compact and reliable, ready to go on the road without fuss. You don’t hear it either, that bike, but you feel it, the quiet confidence that finds you at once and then at the same time creeps up on you, as the bike you can ride in and impress you with every time. But if you’re after a bike that is manageable and turns heads in city streets, the CB125 might tick that box.

What’s Under the Hood? 

Let’s sort of get into the nuts and bolts now. The CB125 isn’t aiming to be the muscle bike of your fantasies, but it’s got a good bit of pep for city commutes. The 125cc engine here is like a stand-by buddy, it’s smooth, efficient, and just enough of a hit to muddy up the urban rides. It’s not a bike for setting speed records, but it will get you through traffic with ease. In fact, I’d call the engine surprisingly responsive for its size: it’s not going to magically keep up, but it’s going to make those city rides feel easy.

Engine and Performance

Got a little more than 11 horsepower, it’s not a speed demon, which is really part of the charm. For urban riders, the CB125 is the ideal dose of power, but it's not overpowering. I always say this particular bike finds that sweet spot of being light and agile, but it’s never lacking. fuel efficiency — it’s almost sipping fuel. If you’re trying to save at the pump without feeling like you’re riding a lawnmower, then you’re getting miles per gallon here better than most bikes.

Handling & Comfort 

That’s the first time, the first time I jumped on this bike it felt like putting my feet into a pair of shoes I already know. It is Upright comfortable seating, no awkward reach or leaning that leaves you aching from a short trip. Of course, Honda probably realized we’d be running the gamut from short trips to longer jaunts, so everything they designed just seems to be tailored for everyday riders.

One thing that the CB125 really excels in with its frame is handling. If you’re, you’re not wrestling with this bike. You’re working with it. Instead everything feels easy and natural; sharp turns, weaving through traffic, slipping into parking spots. If you’re someone who has an eye for convenience, especially in the bustling city traffic, then this bike had been made just for you.

Design & Style 

Now, let’s be real: The CB125 is untouched with futuristic flair nor high tech wizardry. And there’s nothing refreshing about it, really. This classic Honda look, clean lines, no fuss, solid feel, it looks right. While there are no flashy graphics or aggressive styling, that’s part of the attraction. This bike doesn’t have anything to prove.

It’s as user friendly as you can get. Analog Digital Display is a nice carry over from yesteryear; it feels right. It presents the information in a manner without overloading you with data. It's not trying to be anything else besides what it is, truthfully, and surely this is a welcome change in an over complicated world.

Pros & Cons 

Pros 

- Fuel Efficient: This bike is a fuel saver. It’s great if you’re trying to budget, because one fill-up will go a long way. 
- Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Parking wise it is a breeze to zip around city traffic and find a spot.
- Reliability: It doesn’t feel like Honda’s reputation for reliability is dead. The CB125 won’t let you down.

Cons 

- Limited Power: It’s not an exhilarating high speed bike, and it certainly can’t make the freeway without straining.
- Basic Features: I don’t expect a pile of gadgets. But then again, it’s pretty straightforward, which is—it could be a handicap for those who enjoy more complicated tech.

The Real-World Suitability 

We exam some common ways that gang structures like those discussed above develop and argue that these types of development often lead to gang crime contributing to regional crime.

The CB125 are where the CB125 really shines. I really think of this bike as a 'no nonsense' bike. It’s not getting you the CB125 to flex on people, it’s a workhorse. You know there will never be any drama, it’ll start every morning and get you to where you need to go. It’s that kind of bike that just gets on with the job whether it’s a quick run to the store or your commute across town.

If you’re new to biking, I’d suggest giving this a shot as a good starting place. Its low seat height and forgiving manners help increase your confidence. You won’t be on something that lets you think you’re taming a beast — but you won’t feel underwhelming. This is the perfect bike to grow up on but not feel overwhelmed while working it over.

Final Thoughts 

Could I recommend the Honda CB125? Yes indeed but with your eyes opened to what you are paying for. It’s not about adrenaline, not about showing off at all, it’s about practicality, ease, reliability. This is a front tire / rear tire bike, like a good friend who shows up when you need them, questions be damned. Rain or shine, there it is, no attitude, all the reliability Honda has become famous for.

If what you’re looking for is a bike that can be cost effective, easy to ride and eat up the city with, then this might be the one for you. The CB125 does what Honda does best: It’s simple and effective but never overcomplicates things. So, what do you think? The CB125, your sort of no nonsense, sure I'll get it done bike?

Honda's CB125 impresses with its neo-retro styling and premium components. The Showa SFF-BP fork and radial-mount brakes offer excellent control. While the 15 hp engine struggles on highways, it's peppy enough for city use. Fuel efficiency is class-leading at around 45 km/l.

I've had my CB125R for 6 months now. Love the looks and build quality - feels like a bigger bike! Fuel efficiency is amazing. But acceleration is meh, especially with a pillion. Also, service costs are higher than expected. Still, no regrets for a first bike.

The Honda CB125R impresses with its premium build and neo-retro styling. Handling is nimble, perfect for urban commutes. However, the engine feels underpowered on highways. The TFT display is a nice touch, but some may find it unnecessary for a 125 cc bike. Ideal for beginners or city riders.

Honda deservedly have an almost peerless reputation for build quality and reliability, certainly among the big four Japanese manufacturers, and the CB125 maintains that tradition – however it’s not without fault.

Invitingly small, with a low seat height, slim proportions and light overall weight, the CB125F is both ridiculously easy to ride (which, along with being cheap and reliable is why it’s so popular with riding schools) and yet also so nimble, with fantastic manoeuvrability around town, that it also makes a great commuter, more than able to nip through congested traffic
