Honda CA125 Rebel

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 It want outdated.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. Reliability, Very economical and very easy to maintain. My only concern is this bike only has a self starter for a 125. You have to be sure of your battery. All round very good bike. Good beginners bike. Thanks Honda and its designers for making this bike.

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 nippy little bike. I'm going to enjoy it when I'm 17 and able to ride it on road. I found myself doing 50 in 2nd gear and it wasn't stressing to do this sort of speed. I'm amazed!

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 road - yes - only had to change the tyres on it, engine still standard nothing done at all on any bits and I hammer it - like all 125s it hates hills but on the flat it will run for what seems like ever - onle thing I have to say is it has 2 modes - if you open the throttle half way between gear changes - it will feel sluggish - but if you give it a good twist between gears the engine notes changes to where you would normally feel you would have to change gear but if you dont it has a whole different animal waiting on the higher revs - mine will easily skin any 125cc moped at the traffic lights GP as for recommending this machine -- my cousin has been asking me to sell it to him and he's passed his bike test - and fancies some fun on a 125- never had a problem and neither did the 2 previous owners - I still have all the reciepts.
