Positioned in Honda's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2022 Honda CG 125 pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 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 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.7 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 100 kg (220 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.09 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 764 mm (30.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,297 mm (51.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.2-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
