La Honda CBF125 se presentó en 2009 como una motocicleta para principiantes dirigida principalmente a conductores en formación y a personas que viajan diariamente al trabajo en Europa y Asia. Sustituyó a la CB125F en muchos mercados y rápidamente se convirtió en una de las motocicletas de 125 cc más vendidas en Europa debido a su fiabilidad, eficiencia de combustible y bajos costes de funcionamiento. Finalmente, el modelo fue reemplazado por la Honda CB125F actualizada (también conocida como CBF125 en algunos mercados) alrededor de 2015, continuando con el legado de Honda de vehículos confiables de pequeña cilindrada.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Bulletproof Honda Reliability
The CBF125 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable 125cc commuters ever made, with many examples exceeding 30,000 miles with minimal issues when serviced regularly. Its simple single-cylinder engine has very few failure points.
Watch for Cam Chain
A known weak point is the cam chain tensioner, which can cause a rattling noise on higher-mileage bikes — listen carefully on startup before buying. Replacement is inexpensive but ignoring it can lead to more serious engine damage.
Strong Resale Value
The CBF125 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand from new A1 licence riders and commuters. A well-maintained example can retain 60–70% of its value after several years, making it a smart budget choice.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most sensible, dullest £1,500 you'll ever spend."
$1,200-$2,500 usedThe CBF125 is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and that's absolutely fine. Honda built this thing for one purpose: survive the hell of urban commuting and learner abuse without complaint. The single-cylinder 125cc motor is bulletproof if maintained, and most examples you'll find have been flogged by provisional licence holders who never checked the oil. That's your first job when viewing one — pull the dipstick and check the chain slack. Neglect shows fast on these. Mechanically though, they're tough little machines. The engine rarely gives up before 30,000 miles if it's had regular oil changes. Brakes are adequate, handling is predictable bordering on boring, and fuel economy is genuinely impressive — expect 100mpg all day. Parts are cheap and dealers know them inside out. The 2011-onwards models got a fuel injection tweak that improved cold starting noticeably. Worth seeking those out specifically.
