Fantastic little bike. Save petrol on commuting.

Advantages: Reliable and cheap to run. Looks good.
Disadvantages: Top speed only 70mph. Bike is thin and people dont always see you.

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 ...
...small Kawasaki and a few Honda CG125's. I never liked any of these. They felt heavy, difficult and the brakes were none-existant.

So what a shock when I picked up my CBR125R (2004 model)! This is much, much better!

Firstly, you may have noticed that this bike is small. Very small. I fit on in perfect, but many people would not. It is also very thin which is great for nipping through traffic jams and getting out of peoples ... more

The fastest 4-stroke 125cc out there.

Advantages: Nimble, light, ideal for short riders, reliable, excellent miles per gallon
Disadvantages: Tall riders look ridiculous and find the riding positions uncomfortable.

...but guess what? This works!!! Honda aren't stupid, and they know that if they put bigger wheels on the CBR125R it would have terrible grip, especially in the wet (in rain, wet weather, etc). The stock tyres that come with the bike aren't the best out there, but they will grip, and yes you can get your knee down (again if you're a suitable rider for the bike) if need be. These tyres will grip as well as any other. Let's take the Aprilia RS125 for ...
...have the reliable 4 stroke honda engine in there, which as said, is practically bulletproof. To end this, I am going to go into detail quickl about fairings. We all know on our expensive bikes that it is very expensive to replace fairings that have been ripped off, broken in half, and you name it. Well guess what? If you drop the bike or have a spill, and break the side fairings, you're looking at £20 replacement. I bought brand new official Honda ...

Reliable and fun city bike

Advantages: Fun, reliable, very cheap to run
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 ...
...The handling is excellent, with the right tyres it will cope with any cornering you throw at it. Its not the fastest bike on the road obviously, but it will keep pace or beat the average car all the way up to 60 whilst still easily doing more than 50mpg even when thrashing it! Tank can hold about 5 litres of petrol and with some frugal riding you can get more than 200 miles out of it, which is amazing. Downsides that keep it from getting 5 stars ...

Reliable bike

Advantages: reliable, good for new riders, comfortable
Disadvantages: small and thin

if you want a long lasting bike that will never let you down and you olny own a provisional license then this is most probaly the best bike availalbe to you. The bike is good for short or long distance rides, it handles well in all weather conditions, it has a 4-stroke engine and is capale of reaching speeds of 100 mph, the braking system is very good and their work well and these bikes can take a hell of a lot of damage as i found out after one ...

Review of Honda CBR125R

Honda CBR125R

Advantages: Great learner bike cheap to run and maintain.
Disadvantages: Rear tyre could be a bit bigger.

I brought this bike recently after reading all good reviews about it, i like this bike because i am only 5ft 6 and both my feet can touch the ground easily. This is my first geared bike which i have been able to learn very quickly on. It is fairly quick for a 125 4 stroke a friend of mine who owns a faster old 125 two stroke bike was quite impressed after riding one because he was expecting it to be very slow. So far i have had no reliability issues. ...
...Maneuver when filtering. The bike is quite strong because recently i fell off it and the only damage was to the mirror and the brake lever. Fuel economy is brilliant on this bike it has a 10L tank and does 70-80mpg. I will enjoy riding this bike for another two years and then think about taking my test. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Honda CBR125R"

Does exactly what it says on the tin - and more!!

Advantages: Price, low running costs, reliability and cheap insurance
Disadvantages: Lack of top end speed

Great bike, little money and a whole lot of fun! Thats the XR125L summed up in a few words, but let me go a little bit more indepth! When I first bought mine, I went into a honda show room looking for a CBR125R but when I seen this beside it, I literally laughed at how small the CBR is in comparison to this bike - I read review sites for the CBR and no one listed the height of it, or maybe I ignored it because it looked okay in the pictures! This little package of joy is a mean looking learner legal machine, guys on big bikes won't believe it's a 125 due to the height and road presence that comes with it. I've had mine for almost 2 years and have not had a spot of bother even though I've put 10,000 miles on it from new, just a new set of tires and a bulb replacement, which is of minimal cost. The tires on these machines ...
