2022 Honda Super Cub 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2022 Honda Super Cub 125 pairs a 124.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.7 HP (7.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.4 Nm (7.7 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 77.7 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Super Cub 125 measures 108.9 kg (240 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,245 mm (49 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.79-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 253 km (157 miles) between fill-ups.
