The Honda CB125T was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series manufactured by Honda from 1975 to 1985. The bike came in a lightweight package and was an entry-level machine designed for beginner riders and commuting.

In addition, the bike was packed with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, an analog instrument panel, a black-finished steel frame, a chromed dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike featured a 31 mm oil-damped telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with five-way preload adjustability on the rear for optimum suspension performance.

As for stopping power, the bike packed a 242 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 130 mm drum braking unit on the rear that provided optimum braking performance.
