Good Points: my 5th bike for a short while.it was a good bike but very underpowered 12 hp' up hills 30 mph.slog. on flat 60 .fuel ecom great tank range 140 mls. it was a nice small bike. no faults at all.only cosmetics.
Bad Points: Engine hp 12 hp.15 would be better. Fuel was brill. cosmetics very rust quick. Wheels. etc. if carrying 2 passengers speed would be embarrassing. If up hills. And your height don € t buy if you are 6ft. Chain drive - oily mess. But. Nothing minor if you don € t like oil dirt on your hands. If you have to adjust the chain on long runs. And no water. To clean your hands after.
General comments: The 125 Honda performed well in 2 years of ownership. No probs or breakdowns at all.
The best bike for a learner or just comuters.

Appearance, Comfortable and pleasurable bike. Most of the small bikes and beginners bikes doesn't come with great look. If you want a bike that has a look then you have to go for a bigger bikes and you have to pay more. But CA125 is classical and the design is very nice. It want outdated. Handling and ride quality, Very flickable than most of the cruisers. This made this bike a good beginners bike. Ride quality is awesome comparing to other 125's. Seating position is very comfortable. Reliabilit ...

I just bought a Honda CA125 Rebel, a red 1998 model, and I am very impressed with how it has kept up, being 10 years old now and it still feels strong. A brilliant 17+ learner bike.

Bought this Honda CA125 Rebel off of my brother-in-law for 300 quid, it needs a bit of TLC, cleaning of rust, new tires, and the fork seals need replacing but they're all consumables. This motorbike has been in storage since 2004. Today 29th September 06, I purchased 2 new spark plugs for it cause the old ones had died, had a little a trouble cause the battery was flat, pushed it up road, it started straight away and the alternator took over from there. Now it's running perfect, it's a very nipp ...

I passed my CBT in nov 2004 and a mate decided to sell me his Honda CA125 Rebel, I said ok - 800 notes as it was due its MOT which cost me £15, it passed with flying colours. Took 2 days to pluck up courage to ride it alone - went out and did 70 miles, you know to the petrol station and back that is 2 miles up the road - no probs - now this bike is 8 years old with 13500 on the clock i'm close to the max limit of weight the bike can take the 2nd venture I saw 70mph on the clock on a flat r ...
