Best First Bike Review - CBR125R

The CBR125R stands out with aggressive styling, slim yet generous sportbike proportions and a burst of 4-stroke engine performance that will put a smile on anyone’s face. Not merely a dressed-up commuter, the CBR125R attacks the street in full racer form, boldly offering a full complement of technological features, sporty performance and stylish, high-quality attention to detail seen on Honda’s larger sportbikes, but at an affordable price that has proven to be an irresistible attraction to new and younger riders.
Powered by a quick-revving liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine that starts at the touch of a button, and follows it up with quick response and smooth acceleration that keeps the excitement running high, Honda’s smallest CBR is always fun to ride. A capable corner carver when called on to perform, its light and nimble handling soon makes young, new riders feel like knee-dragging champions of the world’s racing circuits. Still, with all this going for it, after three years of thrilling new riders with its exciting blend of Super Sports styling and performance, the time has come for the CBR125R to receive a facelift in both looks and performance. Specifically, this called for a new bodywork design and the addition of up-to-date electronic fuel injection to provide both a more satisfying range of power and the low emissions required of motor vehicles in this age of environmental concerns.
Offering exciting new styling, state-of-the-art performance technology and an aggressive riding position in tune with the bikes ridden by the world’s most popular Grand Prix riders, the CBR125R gives younger riders the thrilling chance to imagine that they too have both the skills and the machine to chase round the circuits in pursuit of the fastest line to the chequered flag.
