Good Points

Is big enough to pass for a 250cc, it handles excellent, is fast and smooth, the electric starter is excellent even in very cold winters, value for money, is stylish, eye catching, 4 stroke engine, double spark plug, 12 volt battery, has crusing gear, is limited edition, I could really go on... is that great.


Bad Points

Is hard to find one these days, as it was made limited edition.


General Comments

When the Honda CM125Ccame out in 85/86? it was the coolest bike of its kind on the road, the best of the 125cc range, I had one for 3 years, never had nothing wrong used it all year round, I had more fun and more eye catching with this bike than i did with a 1000cc kawasaky, which I used to have at one time. Sure there is no comparison when it comes with power but the Honda Custom 125cc was a dream for first timers and those who don't like or can't handle big bikes, because when 250cc was abolished for learners, this was the answer to ride a 125cc that looks like a 250cc and you felt you were there with the boys, if you know what I mean, I use it to work everyday from east london to west end, never failed on me once, and it was already a second hand the one I had, it was perfect to get around traffic, no matter how heavy it was, where other bikes used to get stuck in some way or another, the honda custom 125cc ruled the way in every way, I remember when I used to get big bikes passing me on the A13 waving goodbye, but once they headed in to the city I soon used to catch up and leave them behind, because it was just fast enough and great to manuever, through heavy trafic,better than a big massive bike. I learned how to be an experienced biker with a honda custom 125cc than I did with the big bike I had before, for I realise that what makes a good biker is how you manuever your bike and not how big or fast you can go, and this bike had everything, from quick start to slow down smooth to manuever in and out of spaces with ease, to me it handles like a dream, and it has just enough of everything you need from a bike.

    I have a CM125 - it's an 1986 model and the only bad thing I can think of is that parts are very hard to find, I only need a clip to make the throttle work and I can't even find one of them.
