The Honda CB125 was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range of machines, manufactured from 1971 to 1985 and introduced to the American market in 1973 and built until 1985.
In 1974, Honda released the CB125, a motorcycle almost identical to the first model, except for some color changes and technical specifications, such as the colors of the fuel tank and decals, the front drum brake changed to a disc brake, and the addition of a tachometer.
The CB125 was a lightweight and easy-to-handle machine, which made it popular among beginner and experienced riders, while its small engine size and low weight also made it a fuel-efficient and nimble bike.
The 1974 CB125 came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as wire-spoked wheels with chromed rims, a center stand, an analog instrument panel, a chromed exhaust system, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed ring, and a one-piece dual seat.
For suspension, the bike packed an oil-damped telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by a 240 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a drum braking unit on the rear wheel.
As for power, the 1974 Honda CB125 took its thrust from a 122cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 15 hp with maximum strength at 10,500 rpm and 10 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,000 rpm.
