Honda C125 Super Cub Review

Used Buyer Review

The C125 Super Cub is genuinely one of the smartest used buys in motorcycling right now. Honda built these things to outlast civilisation itself — the 125cc fuel-injected engine barely registers wear even past 15,000 miles, and the semi-automatic transmission means you'll never worry about a previous owner burning out a clutch. Check the plastics carefully though; that gorgeous retro bodywork scratches easily and OEM replacements aren't cheap. What nobody tells you is how capable this thing actually is around town. The 11bhp sounds laughable until you're filtering through gridlocked traffic with zero stress and returning 130mpg. Previous owners typically use these lightly — coffee runs, commutes — so high-mileage examples are rare. That said, inspect the rear drum brake for glazing and confirm the service history exists, because Honda dealers charge properly for their time. Depreciation is almost nonexistent right now. A 2019 with 3,000 miles still commands near-new money, which tells you everything about how the market views these bikes.
