Features & Benefits
Engine/Drivetrain
- The 125 cc SOHC four-stroke engine delivers excellent low-end and midrange power that makes getting going from a stop super easy.
- Liquid-cooling ensures consistent performance in hot or cold weather, or city or highway riding, while also improving reliability.
- Honda's advanced PGM-FI fuel-injection system delivers the precise amount of fuel for optimum performance. You get easy starting, accurate throttle response, better overall performance, and even lower emissions and improved fuel economy compared to a bike that uses a carburetor.
- A balancer shaft inside the engine reduces vibration for a comfortable ride.
- The close-ratio six-speed transmission shifts smoothly and helps keep the engine in the meat of its powerband.
- A catalyzer in the exhaust system keeps performance high, and emissions low. In fact, the CBR125R exceeds the stringent Euro3 emissions standards.
- The clutch and throttle have a light operation that makes them easy to use.Chassis/Suspension
- Powerful front and rear disc brakes mean sure, predictable stopping power and light effort at the brake lever and pedal.
- A slim yet sturdy twin-spar steel frame and a box-section swingarm reduce unwanted flex for better control during spirited riding.
- 17-inch U-section six-spoke cast aluminum wheels mounted with high-traction sport tires look great and ensure excellent traction.
- A short wheelbase combined with carefully calibrated suspension components mean sporty handling, reassuring control, and excellent comfort.
- High-tech chassis components contribute to the CBR125R's easy-to-handle weight.Additional

The fairing looks great, sure, but it also cuts cleanly through the wind for excellent aerodynamics and weather protection.
> A true sportbike needs a fully featured instrument panel, so you’ll find a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge tucked neatly behind the CBR125R’s windscreen.
> Some inexpensive motorcycles simply can’t match Honda quality. We think a bike aimed at new riders should be built with the same care as every other motorcycle in our line — maybe even more. So the CBR125R comes with Honda’s renowned quality and reliability built right in.
