Built around Honda's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1977 Honda CT 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 56.5 x 49.5 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 8.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CT 125 measures 108 kg (238 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 813 mm (32 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.05-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 92 km/h (57 mph).
