Honda Cb125f
The Honda CB125F was introduced in 2015 as a successor to the CB125E, designed primarily for European and Asian markets as an accessible, fuel-efficient commuter motorcycle. It represents Honda's modern interpretation of the classic CB learner-friendly roadster, featuring a refined single-cylinder engine with fuel injection and a sleek, contemporary design. The CB125F has been popular among new riders and urban commuters due to its low running costs, reliability, and Honda's A1 licence-category compliance in Europe.

What Buyers Should Know
Rock-Solid Reliability
The CB125F uses a simple, proven single-cylinder air-cooled engine with minimal electronics, making it one of the most reliable 125cc commuters available. Owners regularly report 30,000+ miles with only routine maintenance.
Watch the Cam Chain
A known issue on higher-mileage CB125Fs is cam chain tensioner wear, which produces a rattling noise on startup. Always listen for this when buying used, as repair costs can be disproportionate on a budget bike.
Strong Resale Value
Honda badging and a reputation for longevity means CB125Fs hold their value unusually well in the used market compared to rival brands. A well-maintained example can retain 60-70% of its value after two years.
