Engineered by Honda for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2016 Honda XR125L features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 10.4 Nm (7.7 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.4 x 57.8 mm (2.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the XR125L measures 129 kg (284 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
