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 1979, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CB125T, an agile machine that didn't receive many changes over its production years and was almost the same as the first model that debuted in 1975.

The bike was fitted with standard features right from the factory, 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, aluminum wheels, and a center stand.

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.

The 1979 Honda CB125T was set in motion by a 124cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fitted with two Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 16 hp at 10,500 rpm and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft) of torque at 9000 rpm.
