This early-entry motorcycle – a tenacious sibling of the
CB1000R – really makes a statement with its alloy radiator shroud, hugging
sump guard and all-black engine.
The Honda CB125R is a stripped-back entry-level sports-naked
bike, and only weighs 125.8kg.
The free-revving liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor has
strong low to mid-range acceleration. It produces 13.1bhp (9.8kW) @ 10,000rpm and 7.3lb-ft (10Nm)
@ 8000rpm through a six-speed gearbox.
The all-new tubular steel lattice frame has a ‘tuned
rigidity balance’ for feedback. The swing-arm and its pivot plates are
pressed steel, and combine with 41mm upside-down forks and a preload
adjustable shock.
The front brake is a Nissin four-piston radial caliper with
a hubless 296mm floating disc, while the rear has a single-piston 220mm
disc.
The ABS – which works on the front and rear – uses an
inertial measurement unit (IMU), claimed to give precise front to rear
modulation of the anti-lock system.
The aluminium fat bar-style handlebars, fixed via risers to
the top yoke, give 40° of rotation for a 2.3m turning circle, while the seat
is set at 816mm.
The LCD dash is just 23.5mm thick, and shows speed, revs,
fuel level and gear, with full LED lighting across the whole bike. The split
headlight is the thinnest ever fitted to a Honda motorcycle.
Fuel economy is claimed to be 136.7mpg, which means the 10.1
litre tank could offer a range of up to 298miles.
