Good Points: good fuel consumption, bigger bike looks, comfort, cruisability and handling.
Bad Points: heavy, a bit sluggish and very difficult to acquire spare parts.
General comments: Decent first bike that will happily sit at 60-70 mph all day long with no trouble at all. My only gripe is that I've been trying to get a right hand side panel for a month now with no success. But an altogether excellent bike.

Had this bike a while now, its an 1984 model, the only difference between this and the later types is a disc brake at the front. Repaired the bike myself (was a bit tatty when I got it) and its easy to work on with basic tools (get a haynes manual first)
Like the bike so much I have hung onto it although I had to buy a Chinese bike last year as it started burning oil-had done 20000 miles plus though!. I am currently rebuilding the engine.
Only snag is parts can be a pain to find-try break ...

Excellent bike to learn on, very forgiving but also fun. My bike has done over 70,000km and is still going strong with only minimal maintenance.

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 cylinde ...

In one sentence to explain how brilliant the Honda CM125C is - its brilliant, i'm thinking of keeping it even after i've passed my main test and when I do get a bigger bike i'm still keeping this one for sentimental reasons (if you know what i mean).

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 abolis ...
