HONDA CBR125R (2010-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR125R first appeared in 2004 and filled the gap in the 125cc market left by the discontinued NSR125 model. The bike was a single-cylinder sports bike that featured the smallest displacement in the CBR series and was similar in looks to its CBR600RR and CBR1000RR siblings.

In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CBR125R, a fun and friendly machine that gave beginner riders their first taste of motorcycling excitement. The 2011 model came with a massive update that included new bodywork, which gave it a big bike look with enhanced weather protection and overall rider comfort.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the CBR125R Repsol, a motorcycle that featured all the updates accumulated over the years and came in a Repsol Color scheme that enhanced its appearance.

The bike featured a narrow pentagonal-section twin-spar steel frame and a box-section swingarm that reduced unwanted flex for better control with a 31 mm telescopic fork on the front and a direct monoshock on the rear end that offered optimum suspension performance.

It also featured a set of blacked-out cast aluminum wheels fitted with a 276 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the Honda CBR125 was powered by a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system that delivered an output power of 14 hp at 10,000 rpm and 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,250 rpm.
