HONDA CBR125R (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR125R, a single-cylinder engine motorcycle that featured the smallest displacement in the CBR series and the looks of its CBR600RR and CBR1000RR siblings.

As a start-up point, the bike featured a double-cradle steel frame with a narrow appearance in a lightweight package, while on the front end, it packed a 31 mm telescopic fork 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.

As for performance, nothing was changed in terms of specifications and characteristics and the bike was still 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.

In addition, the bike featured a full fairing with a small windscreen, dual headlights, blacked-out cast aluminum wheels, a two-up seat, a passenger grab handle, and an analog instrument cluster.

In 2011, the Honda CBR125R received another major revision since the last one in 2007, which brought its looks in line with the CBR250R model, which also got it from the VRF1200F sports tourer motorcycle.
