Honda CBR125R For Sale

What Is It?

Review It

The Honda CBR125R is a learner friendly sports bike which replaced the NSR125. It's powered by a liquid cooled 124.7 cc single cylinder four-stroke engine, producing 13 bhp at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque at 8,000 rpm.

• Steel twin spar frame
• 276 mm disc up front with two piston caliper
• 220 mm disc at the rear with a single piston caliper
• 31 mm fork with 109 mm travel
• Rear shock with 120 mm travel
• The 6 speed gearbox is based on the off road XR125
• Electric starter

A cheaper to run, but arguably less cool, alternative to consider is the Honda CG125. In 2005 the Repsol colour scheme was introduced, costing £100 more and in 2007 Honda replaced the carburettor with fuel injection.

A blue 2006 CBR125R is seen in series 3 of The Inbetweeners, before Jay promptly crashes it into the dealership.
