As part of Honda's renowned Neo Sports Café lineup, this motorcycle is designed for urban commuters and beginners alike, offering an accessible yet thrilling riding experience. With its bold, minimalist aesthetics and a lightweight chassis, the CB125R stands out in a crowded market, appealing to riders looking for agility, comfort, and an unmistakable flair. At the heart of the CB125R is a finely-tuned 124.9cc engine that delivers a spirited ride, producing a torque of 11.6 Nm at 8000 RPM. The 6-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifts, allowing riders to reach a top speed of 105 km/h (65.2 mph) effortlessly. The liquid-cooled engine, coupled with Honda's PGM-FI injection system, not only promotes efficient fuel consumption of 2.20 litres per 100 km but also enhances performance across a range of conditions.

The 2024 CB125R is packed with features that enhance both safety and convenience. Its robust braking system, featuring a single 296 mm front disc with 4-piston calipers from Nissin, offers exceptional stopping power, inspiring confidence in every ride. The bike’s sleek frame design contributes to its agile handling, while the adjustable seat height of 816 mm ensures a comfortable fit for riders of all sizes. Additionally, the CB125R is available in a vibrant palette, including Pearl Cool White and Reef Sea Blue Metallic, allowing riders to express their individuality on the road. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 130 kg, the CB125R offers excellent maneuverability, making it ideal for city riding and new riders.
  • Fuel Efficient: With an impressive fuel consumption of 2.20 litres/100 km, this motorcycle minimizes trips to the gas station, allowing for longer rides without frequent refueling.
  • Stylish and Versatile Design: The Neo Sports Café styling not only turns heads but also provides a comfortable riding position for diverse riding scenarios, from daily commutes to weekend adventures.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Experienced Riders: While the engine is perfect for beginners, more experienced riders may find the power output underwhelming for spirited riding.
  • Basic Features: The bike lacks some advanced technological features, such as traction control or ride modes, which may be expected in this price range.
  • Moderate Storage Options: The CB125R offers limited storage space, making it less suitable for long-distance touring without additional luggage solutions.
