Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2004 Honda CGL 125, a compact and nimble naked bike that embodies Honda's commitment to practicality and fun. As an entry-level motorcycle, it’s perfectly positioned for new riders and urban commuters alike, offering a blend of reliability and efficiency at an attractive price point of around €1200. With its lightweight frame and user-friendly design, the CGL 125 is not just a mode of transport; it's an invitation to explore the open road with confidence. At the heart of the CGL 125 is its spirited 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a respectable 9 horsepower at 8500 RPM. This powerplant allows for a top speed of 115 km/h (71.5 mph), making it more than capable for city cruising and short highway jaunts. Its air-cooled design keeps things simple while the MÝKUNÝ carburetor ensures efficient fuel delivery, translating to an impressive fuel consumption rate of just 2.00 litres per 100 km (or 117.61 mpg). With a weight of only 105 kg (231.5 lbs), the bike's power-to-weight ratio of 0.0857 HP/kg offers a delightful riding experience, characterized by quick acceleration and excellent maneuverability through congested city streets. The CGL 125 also boasts some notable features that enhance both comfort and safety. With electric and kick start options, getting the bike up and running is hassle-free, and its good suspension ensures a smooth ride even on less-than-perfect roads. The single disc front brake paired with a drum brake at the rear provides reliable stopping power, giving riders the confidence to navigate urban environments. The bike is available in a striking red color, adding a touch of flair to its utilitarian design, while a generous 10-litre fuel tank means fewer stops for refueling on longer journeys. **
