2009 Honda CBF125
 
Introduction
The CBF125 combines the best features of Honda’s
Naked and 125cc motorcycles from the past 60 years
to provide the ultimate in small motorcycle style
and performance. At its heart is an air-cooled, fuel-injected,
five-speed engine that delivers strong power and torque
despite its small capacity. Meanwhile the chassis
is capable of easy manoeuvring courtesy of its light
and responsive handling allied to a powerful single
disc brake at the front. Comfortable and practical,
the CBF125 is at ease with solo or two-up riding due
to its compliant suspension front and rear.
The bodywork design continues the theme of the small
bike with a big personality, with attractive half-faired
styling, complete with an effective tinted screen.
Two-up the CBF125 is as accomplished as larger machines
courtesy of its generous rear seat, comfortable pillion
peg arrangement and grab-rail. Meanwhile for the rider,
there’s a convenient electric starter, while
the control panel is simple and easy to read and features
a large speedometer, indicator lights and a fuel gauge.
From first-timer to old-timer on two-wheels, the
all-new CBF125 provides convenience and freedom for
urban travel and is a fitting replacement for the
much-loved CG125, which debuted over 30 years ago
in 1976.
The CBF125’s DNA combines everything that Honda’s
founder, Soichiro Honda, instilled into his first
motorcycles – affordable, reliable, safe, good
quality and a joy to own and use. The CBF125 - Cheap
to keep. Built to last. Fun to run!
