“Great Introduction To Biking”

★★★★★

written by AdamGeorgeJones on 13/11/2016

So I have owned a CBR 125R from brand new, I purchased her back in April 2015 and owned her until I was wrote off in September 16. I was originally looking for a scooter at my local Honda dealership, I had a piaggio that broke down on me and kept constantly dying so I felt this was time to move on, I had 2 friends at the time who owned the older and skinnier models who raved about how great these bikes were, so I took a chance on it and put the deposit down. a week passed and I was etching to get on the cbr, The pre inspection was done and my other half's father picked it up and brought it home. Now I had never ridden gears and I was nervous when I actually saw the bike, so anyway I got my gear on and mounted her, the seat is comfortable and not too hard unlike the yzf which feels like your sitting on a plank. when you insert the key the dash comes to life, the rpm meter maxs out then returns which is the system calibrating itself which also gives young riders the false hope of hitting 199mph which is quite funny. so after the light display is completed you are left with your digital dash and lit up rpm counter, the only analogue part of this bike is the rpm counter which unlike most other sports 125's is actually displayed by a physical clock. the small lcd underneath the clock shows: The time Fuel gauge Coolant temperature Speedometer Mileage Upon pressing the electric start you don't realise it is turned on, the engine is smooth and it is one of the quietest 125's I have heard, nothing intimidating or stupidly loud the neibourghs will complain. Pulling away there is plenty of power in the bottom and mid ranges the bike will reach these indicated speeds: 1st Gear: 22mph 2nd Gear: 31mph 3rd Gear: 45mph 4th Gear: 55mph 5th Gear: 69mph 6th Gear: 75mph (85mph if you rag the bottom off it) when riding the transmission is smooth there's no pull it just glides up the speedometer however I have noticed top end there is no aggression,no pull...no nothing. there is no indication speed is increasing you just glide up the speedo which will not be to everyones taste. The design is inspired from Honda's VFR Sports Tourer it looks very different to the rest until you see a KTM RC125 now that's different. you aren't right over the tank its comftorble semi upright and unlike the other sports bikes the bars are ontop of the yolk not under. the color choice is very boring red,black,tricolor or repsol and as everyone knows, if your 17 you've picked repsol. its comfortable to ride, I did 16787 miles in just over a year on mine, I went to Brighton Bristol Birmingham Bournemouth London Stoke On Trent and at least 150 miles each weekend and an extra 170 purely to get to work everyday. the seat got uncomftorble after roughly 100 straight miles and you feel it when you get off, motorway speeds are sketchy, having being on a cbt I never took it on there but on the a roads I can tell although it would handle the motorways constant speed fine I wouldn't like to be on it with it. the winter riding was fine and the engine never missed a beat and always started first time even at -5 with the coolant I had in it from purchase, it was a strong reliable bike that I think for the price you cannot go wrong. I changed the tyres to Pirelli sport demon which I think is better than the irc bridgestone stock tyres, they get super sticky and stay super warm. I went through 2 sets of brake pads 3 oil changes 3 pairs of tyres 1 Battery this is a capable but sometimes expensive beast but out of 10? I would rate it at a very strong 9

“Fantastic mile muncher”

★★★★★

written by Chad191 on 09/05/2016

I am an older rider 52 years young and bought this bike for my daily commute to and from work ,my wife wanted me to get a commuter like the cbf or ybr but i told her the tyres were too thin on these bikes sometimes you need to tell a white lie.What a great bike this is cheap on fuel,great fun to ride and looks fantastic easy to flick around and very stable.I have a 2015 model that i bought second hand with 4700 miles on it from cmc motorcycles newport in great condition.The bike is reliable great on fuel i do roughly 140 miles a week on around seven pounds worth of fuel.Performance is good for a 125 four stroke i have had 73 showing on the clock and i am 5 foot 11 and weigh around 13.5 stone .This is my fourth 125 in recent years and is by far the best,would i buy another one yes.

“Honda CBR125R 2012”

★★★★★

written by MarkLysaght71 on 31/10/2014

Well where to start..ive owned a Repsol CBR125R for over 11 months.im 43 and decided to ride a motorbike for a cheap mode of transport.first thing i noticed was how more grown up it looked,what i mean by that is it looked the same size as a 500 cc bike,and is much bigger than the previous model.the bike itself is simply stunning to look at in the REPSOL colour scheme,and the tyres are a bigger size for good grip.the ride is smooth and handles superb,but in all honesty the YAMAHA YZF125R is maybe a better bike but is agrand more expensive,so i personally would go for the CBR.now dont take a blind bit of notice of these hyped up reviews saying the CBR can go 85 mph.it cant,ive gone flat out on a straight at 73 mph,and this is what it can do period.the cbr125r is a 13 bhp whereas the yzf125r is close to 15bhp.so the yamaha would probably tick 85+. The seat is comfy and doesnt ache your bottom which for an old boy like me is a plus hahahaha.the brakes although not brembo like on the YAMAHA do the job fine.as regards to fuel consumption i fill the bike up about £11 -£12 a week doing a 27 round mile trip to work on a 5 day working week,so the fuel consumption is great.ive had no mechanical issues and i would highly recommend the HONDA CBR125R 2012.im that impressed im eager to see if honda bring out any new 125s in 2015....hope my review is a help and safe riding..X ps i even passed my A1 license on her..lol

“Amazing handling, good speed and cheap in use.”

★★★★★

written by Alenak3 on 03/06/2014

The Honda Cbr 125cc is one of my favourite 125cc motorcycles. when i became sixteen years old and was going to get my first motorcycle i decided, this is the bike for me. i bought it used for 5000 km but it was like a new one. before i started driving the Cbr i had been driving a various set of bikes. both 2 stroke and 4 stroke bikes. the Honda Cbr125 is a 4 stroke bike, it drives a bit slower than the 2 stroked bike, so if you're only looking for a super fast bike, then this isn't the bike for you, the bike is fast, really fast, but the 2 stroke is just a little bit faster. it drives easily up to all speed limits and way beyond that with a max speed at 130 kilometers pr hour. The 4 stroke also gives it a bit slower acceleration but not much. but well, enough of the bad stuff. the Honda Cbr 125cc is if not the best bike i have ever driven when it comes to handling, when you are driving through a long curved turn in around 90 km/h the bike is so easy to handle, you can sit extremely comfortalbly for hours and actually drive long distanse without feeling any pain in your body. (this is for me when i was sixteen) i would really recommend this bike for anyone who is going to buy their first motorcycle. this motorcycle is loveable.

“Cbr125r Peter Stevens LEMON”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Repsol_Cbr125r on 08/07/2013

Hello, My name is Bruce Lynch, I brought a brand new 2012 cbr125r from peter stevens located in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. The motorcycle was on the show room floor, the motorcycle was started up by the dealer and so on. I brought the show room floor motorcycle which was my first mistake!. Why well when i had it delivered to my home address, i went through the Owners manual first before taking it for a nice slow ride, and that is when i noticed that the motorcycle had no oil in it!. Now i thought to myself how many other people would have inquired about this motorcycle, and how many times had it been started up without oil in it!. So i forgot about the ride and went and got some motorcycle oil for it and topped it up. On its first service after doing 1,000 km the motorcycle was taken back to peter stevens in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. And this one and only service by them could have caused me an accident or injury to someone else that was using the road. Now before the service that first 500 km were done riding slow, below speed limit,as it was a new motorcycle, and i treated the other 500km practically in the same way however riding at speed limits. Now before the service the bike ran OK not perfectly due to the low oil level before hand, once the first service was done, I noticed a white dry petroleum grease of some sort on the chain and also the gears felt somewhat hard to change. As I was riding home i heard a very long crunch or bang noise, it was so loud that it forced me to stop immediately. Luckily there was no one behind me, and luckily for me that the motorcycle did not go out of control. So after stopping and getting off in a hurry I walked around the motorcycle and could not see anything wrong, so what must have had occurred must have been internal. I got the motorcycle home riding ever so slowly,I removed the rubbish dry grease and replaced with Castrol high temperature petroleum and made an adjustment to the gear lever, I took it for a spin and bingo! it ran perfectly, I vowed never to let them peter stevens service my motor cycle again!. However after just 11,000 km the engine is broken, and this was caused by the low level or no oil in the engine, and this blame must be directed to peter stevens in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. Peter stevens themselves said that the engine trouble was top end, in fact a proper motorcycle mechanic (Bikes Plus) have stated that the problem is lower end damage due to the cause being low level engine oil, last of all peter stevens located in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, took every dirty step they could to stop the bike being fixed even though it was under warranty, to cover themselves of an fault. If You feel that this review has giving a sense of someone standing up against a motorcycle dealer that has spoken out for others or Yourself, please pass this review on, or better post it on another site. It is people like myself making people aware that HEY! my ride was OK before Joe Blow touched it, and this awareness will stop companies risking peoples lives for a lousy paycheck. To the company the paycheck is good and a extra repair is a bonus for them.

Bamsemoms36's Response to Repsol_Cbr125r's Review

Written on: 03/06/2014

hey, you can't complain about the bike because you bought a bike without oil in, there's nothing wrong with the bike. you shall always completely check over the bike before using it. i understand that what happend really suck for you, but hey, don't blayme the bike and give it a rate 1/5 because YOU and that Australian guy didn't check the oil. it's a really bad job from the dealer but also a bad job by you. but it's also hi's responsibility to get the bike ready for you, i think you should really erase this and post it somewhere else. i really support you in what you are doing but don't take it out on Honda for the mistake you and you'r dealer made. it's not their fault. the bike is actually an amazing bike

Really bad deal from the dealer,and good to see you let everyone know.I tend to agree with the above comment about not being the bike's fault!
Honda are well known to be absoloutely bulletproof,and if you had ran any other engine with no oil in,I bet you wouldn't have an engine to complain about!

88mph...no chance...its 13 bhp standard.would only do the speed you state if you tampered with engine or exhaust.ive got a 2012 repsol fully maintained by honda and they even said it will only do the 70mph,as only 13bhp.but i agree with you its a great machine

“Honda CBR125R”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ripped--off on 01/05/2013

Brought a brand new Honda 2012 cbr125r from peter stevens in Melbourne Victoria Australia, and what a lemon they sold me. On the first service they done, when i was riding it home i heard a loud crunching noise, which forced me to pull over and stop, also the gears were hard to change through, and the chain was catching the sprocket unevenly. Got it home corrected all the faults myself and it ran perfectly after that, and I vowed never to let them animals touch my bike again. 11,000 kilometers later, i started to hear a loud clonking noise, still under warranty they (peter stevens) said that they would not fix the bike. they made up some lame excuse, but i found out that they are no longer a certified Honda dealer, talk about low life's they would not tell me this. So now i have to fix the bike at my expense. Take some advice don't buy from them, as they are only out to make money from you, as they are a business, and what this business is out to do, is to make more money than what they normal should!. And that's by setting up your bike to fail in the very very near future. If i was to buy another bike it would be second hand, and i am sure that i would get it working for a lot longer than buying new from peter stevens LOL.

“Great little bike for the city or backroads.”

★★★★☆

written by LS650 on 07/04/2013

I owned a 2007 for a year, sold it, missed it, and then bought a new 2011 version of the same model. I would not have gone back to a CBR125R unless I was really happy with it. Pros: Starts easy and is extremely reliable in all weather and temperatures. Very light and flickable through the corners, decent brakes, looks okay. Honda quality. Cons: It's only a 125cc, so it's great up to about 90kph (55mph) and then pretty much runs out of steam. If you open the throttle up, it will eventually crawl from 90kph up to maybe 110-115, and that's about it. Also, the stock IRC tires are not that great on wet pavement. You can get Bridgestones or other tires in stock sizes that stick much better. Overall, this is a great bike for urban areas, or quiet country roads. If you need to ride a lot on high-speed freeways, you will want a larger engine. Conclusion: I'm very happy with my CBR125, and if it were stolen, I would definitely consider buying another.

“cutting out and gear problem?”

★★☆☆☆

written by FLATOUT27 on 12/03/2013

Just recently purchased a cbr 125 in march 2013 brand new,when driving it home from the showroom it was smooth as silk and by far the best 125 i have ever ridden. However, after 2days of having it,i started it up one morning (sweet as a nut)and after travelling about 150yds came to a junction and it cut out on me. It took a few touches of the starter button to get it going again and took a while to get up to 3000 rpm? Even after this the bike seemed rather slugish and it seemed as if the clutch was dragging out, until after about 3 or 4 mile.I put it down to it being cold but it happend again that evening. I immediately contacted the dealer i bought it from and they collected the bike off me to keep overnight to see if the problem happened again the following morning from cold. I phoned the next day to see if the problem happened again and it hadnt. I asked were there any problems found and the reply i got was nothing was found except the clutch had been adjusted and it was on its limit?? Told them i hadnt adjusted anything and it was exactly the same as when i had it from the showroom. Anyway, i had the bike back and exactly the same thing happened, started,then cut out on me, then took several attempts to start it again to the point where you think your gonna flood the engine. I eventually got it started(again struggling to get it to 3000rpm)when after about 2 or 3mile rideing it it would go from 2nd gear into neutral and this happened on several occassions.I dont know if ive been sold the runt of the litter or what but for a brand new machine somethings not quite right.Taking it back to dealer tmrw for a different machine and if thats the same then im switching to yamaha!!

Seems like the problem is more with the dealership than the bike! Take it back and tell them to fix it under warranty, and not to call you until they've test rode it some distance and know it to be fixed!

“amazing bike , couldnt ask for more :)”

written by riding.in.the.rain on 12/03/2013

Hi guys and girls , im going to save you some time and just say buy it now! , i just bought it tonight and had to ride 35-40 miles and it felt like a breeze ,i have had a little experience with the honda cbr as my last bike was a skyjet fj 23 which is piece for piece the same bike (but jap), this bike is so easy to adapt to and control , i managed to get 75 out of it on a slight downhill, i couldnt see any problems with it at all , it held its ground on the roads and i felt presence , the ride was comfortable and enjoyable , BUT and this is a big one for me , wind can throw you about on this bike and for those who are perhaps nervous or new to riding , i wouldnt go anywhere in bad weather. all in all a great bike for everyone but in the right environment :)

“Absolutely fantastic bike ”

written by SpeedyGonzales1 on 06/12/2012

I have just brought the latest model 125R. This is my first bike and i have to say, i absolutely love it. Its really forgiving with gear mistakes and is a real joy to ride. It's not as fast as i expected but it is onyl a 125cc. cant seem to get it past 65 even though spec says top speed 75. I know ill be keeping this bike for a couple of years before i upgrade and i dont think i could of picked a better bike. if you can afford to buy it and you are looking for a decent 125 this is definitely the bike to get.

ive owned 2 a 05model & a2012 new model with the bigger wheels tires and new body work. its a big inprovement, steering is better and the road pressence is a lot better as it is a full size bike now. it was a little small and skinny in its first incarnashen. body work is more moden with angler lines which i like. as it is more moden than chinesse bikes. which in my apinion the cbr is worth the money as it is honda with good build qualty.

“CBR125 RSC 2012”

★★★★★

written by wadey3103 on 08/05/2012

I have the brand new Honda CBR 125 RSC in the Repsol and Honda Racing colours. It is absolutely fantastic, the bike runs as smooth as anything and now that the new body is even chunkier than the old CBR's, it looks like a bike should too! acceleration is fantastic for a 125, the handling is fantastic, the tyres are nice and chunky now so when it comes to bad weather and ragging it about on twisty roads, it'll hold on for dear life. The exhaust would be my only complaint, I am not sure if i like it or not, it suits the bike but with being a biker who likes to 'show off', i would rather have a chunky exhaust such as an akrapovic or a yoshimura. but hayho, nothing is perfect. Definitely recommend this bike. Cost is very good for what it is and even if that is still expensive, the older 2011 bikes are pretty much the same and go for slightly less now.

“Great little bike!”

★★★★☆

written by on 26/01/2012

I have had my CBR for about a month and the ride quality is amazing! I changed from a TMEC Enduro 125cc to this and already I have noticed so many great aspects of this bike! For example, the ride comfort is outstanding, never had a problem with being uncomfy on any journey. It is a small but very nippy bike! I have the 2007 model and I can get 60mph in 4th Gear, 75mph in 5th and have never had a long enough road to go flat out on it but who needs it to go that fast? The bike is reliable, easy to ride and sounds/ runs perfectly for a 125cc. The only problem I had was the change from first to second because its a lot different than my old chinese bike; and i found myself in neutral sometimes. I have greater control on this bike because its small and has a comfy riding position. The small tyres allow great steering! Also, it is great on fuel. All though my fuel gauge is wrong and tells me it has no fuel when there is clearly half a tank in there. I bought mine for £700 and only pay £23 a month insurance and £16 a year TAX. After filling the tank when I first got this bike, I have not had to refill it after and I do at least 10miles a day on it. Overall I give this bike a 9 out of 10 as it is a great bike for new riders and does everything you expect a 125cc to do and more!! Parts are easy to find and are reasonably cheap! Great buy! Highly recommended!

“Cbr 125 rwb 2011”

★★★★★

written by on 05/10/2011

Ive owned this bike for 4 weeks now and still not filled it up yet so a tank of fuel will last me 5-6 weeks doing 60 miles a week (300-360 miles). On my 6 mile ride to work I use the A47 and when coming off the slip road to join I have always been upto speed (70mph indicated) and will happily stay there. My bike has done over 3500 miles and to me it feels like new and no problems starting hot or cold. The exhaust sounds nice for a 125 especially when reving down off throttle. I do have one problem that i keep locking the back wheel but I think thats me more than the bike. Overall I say the bike is great value, excellent fuel and tax and insurance costs also cheap to service with look to equal the other sports 125's. What more could you want?

“Great bike & perfect step up to bigger bike”

★★★★☆

written by koolgaz522 on 05/09/2011

I have been riding my CBR125R for just over 6 months now and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I have had a small issue with it cutting out at very high revs but seems to have been fixed by cleaning the carb and fuel tank (seemed to be bad fuel). This on the other hand, did highlight to me just how simple and easy to work on this bike is. Stripping down, cleaning, putting back together and testing took all of an hour and a half :-) All in all the bike is slightly on the small side but has easily enough power for around town and would manage on the motorways but probably averaging around 65mph. Reliable bike, good fuel consumption (around 75mpg), and steers fantastically (meaning with the right tyres it is even possible to get your knee down on this bike!) :-O Finally, against the other main competitors, the cbr is far cheaper, more reliable, and far easier to ride due to its bulletproof, manageable single 4 stroke engine. Would definitely recommend to a friend!
