Honda CB 125 R 2021: New engine, more chassis

Honda CB 125 R model year 2021

New engine and much more chassis

The smallest member of the Neo Sports Cafe series will receive a brand new DOHC 4-valve engine including a crisp increase in power and torque for the 2021 model year.

Honda is making its entry-level naked bike for the 2021 model year much more attractive. A completely new DOHC 4-valve engine will in future give the 125 HP 15 hp at 10,000 rpm and a torque of 11.6 Nm at 8,000 rpm. This puts the 125cc up by 1.6 HP and 1.2 Nm and now reaches the permitted class limit. With a consumption of only 2.1 liters, ranges of over 470 kilometers should be possible with one tank of fuel.

Thanks to the additional power, the top speed increases from 101 km / h to 105 km / h, with 200 meters being covered in 11.3 seconds. The transmission still has six gears and of course the new single meets the Euro 5 standard.

Fat fork from the 650s

The tubular steel frame itself is retained, new reinforcements on the swing arm mounting and in the swing arm itself ensure more stability. A real novelty on a 125cc is the 41cc Big Piston USD fork from Showa. It is the same fork that Honda uses in the models CBR 650 R and CB 650 R of the model year 2021. Only the spring rate and damping have been adapted to the 125cc.

The ready-to-drive Honda CB 125 R, which weighs just under 130 kilograms, is delayed at the front by a 296 washer in combination with a radially attached four-piston caliper. The rear 220 mm brake disc works with a single piston caliper. ABS is on board. The 17-inch cast rims with a 110/70 tire at the front and a 150/60 tire at the rear are also taken over unchanged.

The Neo Sports Cafe design line, including the LED lighting, remains untouched. The LC display in the cockpit is also used.

A new color

Honda

For the model year 2021, the Honda CB 125 R is available in the familiar colors Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic, Candy Chromosphere Red and Matt Jeans Blue Metallic. The color Pearl Smoky Gray is new. Honda has not yet announced prices. So far, the 125cc was available from 4,157 euros plus additional costs.
