Positioned in Honda's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Honda CB125F relies on a 123.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.7 HP (7.8 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.9 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 86.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 117 kg (258 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.48 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 743 km (462 miles) between fill-ups.
