Honda CB125R 2018

If you prefer a retro look in the 125cc class, the Honda CB125R is exactly the right bike. Not only does it look very grown-up, the components installed are also of very high quality, as is typical of Honda. Even though the engine only produces 13.3 hp, the CB125R compensates well for the missing 1.7 hp with its ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. On the chassis and braking system side, the Honda is clearly ahead of the competition and is reminiscent of much more powerful motorbikes in the naked bike class.
