Got one of these as my Courtesy bike, Here's my little review... Pro's : Looks fantastic Handles like a dream Pretty skinny so it's great for filtering Acceleration is pretty damn quick! Sits at 65mph easily Very quiet (if you see that as a pro) Very forgiving bike! (Perfect for new riders!) Con's : Seat isn't very comfortable Tires are very skinny! Overall rating 9/10 - Only downside is the seat in my opinion, Could be better! Fantastic bike for any learner out there and considering it's only a 125cc bike it's still a bit of a hooligan bike that begs you to throw it around corners and ride it like you stole it! Very good at handling and you can pretty much turn around in the same spot! With this bike you'll take off allot quicker at lights than cars!

Got mine a week ago,white one looks so beautiful,it is my first bike ever,first time I ride a bike on my CBT test,this was the second time when I got mine white cb125f.Done 109 miles now,spend some hours on the big car part late evening,practicing U-turns,small 8,very slow riding,straight and circle.Very happy with this bike,very easy to maneuver,great on fuel,fast enough for new rider's.Don't know top speed yet,,I been told to do about 400 miles on low rpm,I am not going over 5k rpm,changing gears at 3.5-4k, red line at 9 and 10 k. By the way I am 191cm tall,longest ride was 2 hours non stop,felt very comfortable and not tired.I recommend this bike,worth the money. P.S sorry for bad English....UPDATE: 1300 miles on the clock,bike is great!Last week went to London,270 miles from my home to the destination.Took me 6.5 hours without stoping,very comfortable bike, last two hours start hurt my butt.Used full tank of fuel. First service (600 miles) cost me 100£ in Honda dealership.9k red line 65mph.

This comment is relatively unrelated to the video: I'm 16 and intend to get a super-sports in 3-4 months when i turn 17. At the moment my eye is on the YZF-R125. But I'd especially like an R6 or R3... Anyone know the legal repercussions of riding an R3 with L Plates (I have a CBT) and registering it/insurance/taxing it as an R125? PS. I know you can't ride an R3 with just a CBT at any age and that i'd need to be 19 with an A2 Licence, the L plates are just to add to the illusion that its a R125. PPS. Do the r125 fairings fit an R3? Like... to make it look like an R125?

At the risk of sounding like a nagging mother, that is really irresponsible, illegal and fraudulent. Your insurance would be invalid, bike registered illegally and a host of other problems.

I only expect drum brakes on the real budget Chinese bikes these days, even the better Chinese bikes have a rear disc. I see Honda is using the same Chinese type rear sprockets as well. In fact, I think the bike is built in China.

keith taylor this model is built in Thailand or China I think. Unfortunately Honda have gone down the path of using their reputation to dupe people into thinking that the same build quality is applied to all their products. The cb125f is cheap for a reason. I would go as far as saying that you should avoid buying a new one and go for a second hand cbf125. Still not built in Japan but have a much longer history and plenty of cheap parts available for when the rust just gets too bad.

The quality of these bikes is no better than the quality of most Chinese bikes. It is nothing like the build quality of the 90's machines. I would really urge you not to bother with one of these bikes. The rear swingarm is made of the thinnest, cheapest steel they could find, I have just had to replace one on a 2015 bike as the shock mount had snapped off due to rust.
