Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2014 Honda CBF125 relies on a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.1 HP (8.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.2 Nm (8.3 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 89 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 CBF125 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 792 mm (31.2 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
