Positioned in Honda's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Honda CB125F relies on a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.5 HP (6.2 kW) at 8,590 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.1 Nm (7.5 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68.1 HP per liter and a 2,340 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,590 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CB125F measures 128 kg (282 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (15.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
