Built around Honda's naked motorcycle platform, the 2004 Honda CGL 125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 72 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CGL 125 measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.67 kg per horsepower). The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 500 km (311 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 115 km/h (71 mph).
