HONDA CB125F (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The CB125 was a lightweight motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, powered by a small-capacity engine and manufactured in 2008 for road riders. The CB125F announced in 2014 and released in 2015, featured a frame-mounted fairing instead of the fork-mounted fairing of the standard model.

The CB125F replaced the CBF125, which has been in production since 2008 and was the best-selling motorcycle in Europe. In 2015, Honda launched the CB125F, a motorcycle extensively revised with the CB-F family naked style plus a responsive new chassis.

In 2021, the bike was also redesigned around a super-efficient eSP engine mounted in a lighter, better-handling chassis that lost 11 kg (24 lbs) and also featured a new digital instrument cluster and a new LED headlight.

In addition, the single-cylinder engine was redesigned with slightly offset cylinders that reduced friction and improved fuel efficiency, giving a potential 800 km of range with a full gas tank.

As for power, the 2021 Honda CB125F took its muscles from a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 11 hp at 7,750 rpm and 10 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,250 rpm.

For suspension, the bike packed a 31 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustment on the rear, while the braking power was handled by a 240 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 130 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel.
