HONDA CB125 (1975-1976) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB125 was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range of motorcycles, manufactured from 1971 to 1985, and introduced to the American market in 1973 and built until 1985.

The maker made available an "S" version from 1971 to 1975 and was replaced in 1976 by the "J" model, while the US model retained its "S" designation. The later model packed a two-piece head, a 124cc displacement, and a larger carburetor.

In 1976, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB125, a standard classic motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range of machines, known for its reliability and performance.

The 1976 machine came with an increased engine displacement from 122cc to 124cc, and the tachometer was eliminated. Besides that, the bike was almost identical to the first model of the CB125 that debuted in 1971.

In addition, the CB125 came with standard features, such as a center stand, a chromed exhaust system, a one-piece dual seat, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed ring, and wire-spoked wheels with chromed rims.

For power, the 1976 Honda CB125 took its muscles from a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by a Keihin carburetor and delivered an output power of 14 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 10 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,400 rpm.
