Advantages: Reliable and cheap to run. Looks good. 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.
... ...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 way, but not so good for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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. ...

Advantages: not wasteful of fuel, fast, and style Disadvantages: always want to drag
...the horse but for male honda CBR125R more than a horse, with my motorcycle this more flexible on the road because the body is very easy to trim through the narrow streets, to maneuver any more because the body is light, not only that a great power can make us forget real speed. Honda CBR125R is indeed very appropriate for me because I was not high body 170cms was more than I just want a regular motorcycle, but only after I see in the showroom to ... ...economical fuel that does not disrupt the travel engine that can be economical of money of course, I like the shapes that are similar to motor racing, and sporty style. with the brake system is also used to worry I will not slip on the ban because it uses double dist brake, handlebar and the always stout stone on the road. but a woman is cool again freeloader that we will feel a new sensation in the style and speed. does not believe ... you should ...
