Positioned in Honda's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Honda CG 125 pairs a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.9 HP (7.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 87.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 CG 125 measures 114 kg (251 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 781 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,297 mm (51.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
