Manufactured by Honda from 1971-1975.
It features an overhead camshaft (OHC) engine
with a 9500 rpm redline and offers 100 mpg,
quite astonishing for its period. It could
comfortably maintain speeds of 55 mph and
had a top speed of around 65 mph. Its low
weight coupled with the free revving engine
allowed it to surpass many bigger, more
unreliable British bikes in performance.
The engine could last tens of thousands
of miles with only minimal attention; however,
the oil had to be changed regularly (700
miles) to prevent premature wear of the
camshaft bearings. The "S" model was produced
from 1971 to 1975 and was replaced in 1976
by the "J" model. The newer model sported
a two piece head, 124cc displacement, and
a larger carburettor, but it did not perform
as well as the earlier models.
Outstanding original condition in Candy
Rivera Blue. This model has speedo and
tachometer. This is one of the first Honda
125's to have a front disc brake.
