The CBR125R’s race-ready good looks, breathtaking performance and exceptional control provide a quick and easy entry into the realm of Super Sports riding. It’s also a smart choice for anyone looking for some light and easy riding fun that’s also easy on the wallet.
Class-Leading Suspension System
The CBR125R’s combination of a short wheelbase and top-of the-class suspension components results in swift and sporty handing in both town and country. Up front, a compliant 31mm hydraulic telescopic fork provides a smoothly damped ride and quick, confidence-inspiring handling whether running errands or running through the hills. At the rear, a long-travel Monoshock damper soaks up the bumps while maintaining reassuring control that makes motorcycle riding such exhilarating enjoyment for novices and experts alike.
Racy-Looking Wheels and Responsive Brakes
The CBR125R’s slim and lightweight U-section six-spoke cast aluminium wheels mount slim and grippy tyres that accentuate its racy looks while providing superb road holding performance. Impressive braking control is provided by a large 276mm drilled front disc brake stopped by a compact and powerful dual-piston calliper. Its 220mm rear disc is firmly gripped by a small single-piston calliper mounted directly to the CBR’s box-section steel swingarm that assures an optimal balance of braking control in all riding situations.
New PGM-FI Fuel Injection System
One of the biggest changes in the new second-generation CBR125R is the addition of a new PGM-FI fuel injection system, which provides exceptional starting ease and strong performance in virtually all riding conditions from warm seaside to high mountains. Fitted with an Idle Air Control Valve (IACV), which minutely controls the volume of incoming air to maintain smooth idling and low-rpm response, the new CBR125R delivers incomparable riding ease for anyone from expert to beginner.
Ultra-Low Emissions
The CBR125R’s lightweight and compact new fuel injection system also ensures exceptional fuel economy and ultra-low exhaust emissions. Its advanced HECS3 oxygen-sensing clean emissions system features a high-efficiency 300-cell catalyser element installed in-line in the exhaust system to ensure easy compliance with strict EURO-3 exhaust emissions regulations while maintaining top performance.
Smooth-Shifting Gearbox
The engine’s strong drive is delivered to the rear wheel by way of a smooth shifting close-ratio 6- speed transmission, which quickly gets the new CBR up to speed while taking full advantage of the engine’s wide powerband.

Sporty, Aggressive Styling
The new CBR125R’s new front and side fairing cowls strongly emphasizes its sporty looks with more aggressively dynamic lines that exude a more attractive look and feel of a true Super Sport. With its sharper, more sporty lines, the front cowl has also been widened slightly relative to its earlier version in order to accommodate a pair of Line Beam headlights like those featured on both the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR Fireblade. This sharper and more aggressive look really grabs attention on the street while playing an important part in the little CBR’s swift and sure handling prowess.
