jimrbrobinson's Review of Honda CM125C
30th Sep 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Length of ownership3 Years
- Reliability
- Year Manufactured1983
- Build quality
Very comfortable ride for short or long distance (I regularly did Manchester to Fort William (Scotland) with ease (8 hour journey on average).
Excellent fuel economy, and I generally achieve 170 - 180 miles out of a tankful (10 litres excluding reserve).
The low seat height id ideal for people with shorter legs (like me).
Honda's renowned reliable 4-stroke twin engine.
Bad Points
Poor centre of gravity. Care should be taken when manoeuvring. Although it is surprisingly stable in low-speed manoeuvres, ie. u-turn.
Poor top-end speed. Mine maxed out at around 60mph.
It can be difficult to locate parts, but I managed to find two reliable suppliers in Bolton and Newton-Le-Willows.
General Comments
I fell in love with this bike's looks, and it was love at first sight. In my three years I have travelled all over the UK in relaxed comfort. I fitted a large topbox, windscreen and I use throw-over panniers and a tank bag, and I notice minimal performance problems (maybe slightly more sluggish getting up to speed, but that's expected). This is a heavy bike for a 125, and it looks like it should be much larger. I once had to show a police officer the capacity stamp on the back of the cylinder head to prove it was a 125!! This bike (like my current ride, the XL125V Varadero) is my recommendation for a ideal learner bike in preparation for advancement to a bigger bike, or preparation for Direct Access.
If you can find one, buy it. You will not be disappointed, and you will be perfectly prepared, whatever your next step in motorcycling is.
