    5 Stars Honda CBR 125R - Its The Bike For The Amateur Badman! 03/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to Ride, Cheap, Fun, Good on Fuel, Maintenance is Easy/Cheap Parts, Fantastic Learner BIke

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Looks? Small Tyres, Can't do more than 75mph

    Since a young lad, I always dreamed of having a motorbike as many 10 year olds do, I was a major fan. But never then did I think that I would be riding a couple of years later. Even though it isn’t the mean machine I thought I’d have, capable of doing over 150 mph and with a mean purr of the exhaust, the Honda CBR 125R is the first step up the ladder. Even though it is a small bike with a 125cc engine and 13 bhp (Brake Horse Power), it is not to be underestimated, as it has a lot of heart and personality as I’ve discovered it to be extremely fun to cruise around on with enough power to get a ... more

    5 Stars Fantastic little bike. Save petrol on commuting. 23/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable and cheap to run. Looks good.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Top speed only 70mph. Bike is thin and people dont always see you.

    The Honda CBR125 range of motorbikes were first released back in 2004. Minor changes have occured over the few years with the most significant being the addition of fuel injection in the 2007 models. I first bought one of these from a local garage just before I passed my CBT (Compulsary Basic Training). You only need the CBT (if you have a car license) do drive one of these on the road. The CBT lasts for 2 years and you must have L-Plates on display. I had driven a few bikes on my CBT including a small Kawasaki and a few Honda CG125's. I never liked any of these. They felt heavy, difficult and ... more

    5 Stars The fastest 4-stroke 125cc out there. 16/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nimble, light, ideal for short riders, reliable, excellent miles per gallon

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tall riders look ridiculous and find the riding positions uncomfortable.

    Greetings! I have been a proud owner of the CBR125R since 2005. In this time I have learnt a lot about riding as well as the bike I am writing this review about. There are many people who bash the CBR125R due to it being 4-stroke and not 2-stroke. There are also those who think the bike should be treated like a supersports bike when it is, in fact, not. The first thing people notice is the bike is very thin from the back and front. This can either be a good or bad thing. The reason why it can be bad is because it doesn't "look" cool, but that is really the only bad thing. The good thing ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages GREAT ON FUEL GOOD LOOKS, GREAT TO RIDE, WONT BREAK DOWN

    Disadvantages Disadvantages FROM 60MPH TAKES A WHILE TO GET TO 70MPH

    HONDA CBR 125R i have personally owned a honda cbr 125r for since may 2009, ACTUALLY ITS THE REPSOL VERSION AS YOU CAN SEE IN PIC. during that time have done 4,000 miles on it and can honestly say to any one thinking of buying one GET ONE! I BOUGHT THIS BIKE TO GIVE ME ROAD EXPERIANCE AFTER PASSING MY CBT (COMPULSARY BASIC TRAINING). BEST BITS:- BIKE HAS PRETTY GOOD ACCELERATION TO ABOUT 55 MPH FOR A 125CC (EVEN MCN RATING IT HAVING SLIGHTY BETTER ACCELRATION THAN THE YAMAHA YZF125 ON YOU TUBE). BRAKES ARE VERY GOOD (DISKS FRONT AND BACK) THE BIKE ITS SELF IS LIGHT AND EASY TO MONUVURE. THE ... more

    4 Stars Reliable and fun city bike 18/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, reliable, very cheap to run

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some cheap cosmetics, small bike for the taller rider

    I have been riding my CBR 125R for over a year now and its been excellent. I wanted a learner legal bike that was reliable, economical and fun and this bike ticks them all. The bike looks excellent for a 125, real sports bike look with the fairing. For a 125 it’s nippy so its performance backs up the looks! The engine has been fantastic, no problems even with starting and running in winter it has been flawless. Mine is a 2005 model, so had its first MOT recently and it passed no problem with no advisories. The handling is excellent, with the right tyres it will cope with any cornering you ... more

    I have a 2008 Honda CBR 125R and the engine won't start again, after I turn it off from a long distance trip..

    I have a 2008 Honda CBR 125R and the engine won't start again, after I turn it off from a long distance trip. So what I have to do is jump start it and let it idle for 10 minutes or so to let the battery or something recharge so next time I turn it off, it starts normal. Do you have the same experience? Is this normal? Do I need to get the alternator or stator replace? Please advice?

    bike looks and fairings

    hi i have a cbr125rw 09 model, and i do enjoy riding it but when i find a bit of wind, i feel uneasy so therefore wondering what i could do; to help me overcome the problem as i have thought about taking the fairing off (does anyone have any pictures with no fairing) and also have looked for another fairing (no joy) so i could try drilling holes in it like the racers do, i must admit i do not travel at speed being a lass an all.. ideas welcome..
