Now am convinced that this is going to be my first bike that i intend to use for commuting instead of my car because of the very high fuel prices nowadays! Thank you Vasili!
This was the best review I’ve ever seen😆 Come that little bit further on your next holiday and go past England to Ireland you will love it here 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍🏼
Your review is so funny and lots of good informations. Love the way you show explain the pros and cons aspects. Well done ;-). Best regards from Switzerland
Tolles Bericht einer Honda CB125F ! Du hast mir Dinge gezeigt die sonst keiner bisher gezeigt hat . Die Tricks mit dem Helm verriegeln oder dem Gepäck Gurt unter dem Sitz sind genial ! Du bist auch auf den Wendekreis und das Licht 💡eingegangen. Vielen Dank für deine Mühen 😊
Have watched many reviews of this bike on utube. This is by far, the most detailed, and informative revue. Thankyou Sir, you have done an excellent revue. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.⁸
I finally bought an Royal Enfield Meteor as my only bike instead of the CB125F. Both great value for the money. It is heavier, a bit stronger, very comfortable, more expensive and needs 2.6 Liter.
I guess it’s what you value. The RE is more powerful especially torque wise. It’s more substantial. It is maybe more stylish and respected. But what I really value the CB for is reliability, fuel consumption, light weight, initial purchase price, service intervals, LED front light as standard, the thin profile for filtering and low insurance costs. To me, it’s the perfect mid week bike if your commute is under 80km/h. I have a embarrassingly large collection of bikes and although this bike doesn’t have the most kms on it, it’s the one that gets started up the most due to all the reasons above. RE are phenomenal value too.
Nice review! In India, the same motorcycle is sold as the Honda SP 125, and is very popular over here. Great for maneuvering amidst traffic, and its efficient engine delivers a very good mileage.
Hi from UK, love the review real honest and a nice guy too! I'm really tempted to get one of these. I have a yamaha ybr 125 which was stolen and I'm trying to get it back on the road. If I give up on it I might have one of these instead 👍
I've had mine (first bike) for 3 weeks and although have nothing to compare it to except holiday rentals, think it's fantastic. I've done almost 600 miles through mainly the yorkshire lanes at 30-40mph, so the fact it isn't too powerfull doesn't matter, as i aint interested in going too fast anyway, and 60mph top is well enough for me. I'm getting an insane 175 miles per gallon and am 6' tall weighing 19stone. it's comfortable enough, however need to take a break every hour and a half to stretch my legs, but maybe that's because i'm 60 lol. at £3k it's fantastic value compared to it's yamaha/suzuki/kawasaki rivals that cost £1.5k more !!, so to anyone thinking of a 125 you can't go wrong with this model Honda. GL
I'm tall and 'appropriately well constructed' too! Pleased to hear mpg is still outstanding. My area of France is similar, tight lanes plenty of hills, I think I need to try one these, had my full licence for a long time, worked at training school for a while etc. Had large bikes but for cheap simple transport this looks unbeatable. Made in Italy too, I strongly suspect this will be much nicer to ride than it's Chinese, and before that, Indian made predecessors. Hopefully build quality improved too.
@@nothanks9050 After having now covered about 2,700 miles i have done some tests on 'what the machine says' and what you 'actually get', calculated using proper fuel usage and the miles on the odometer averaged with a gps app distance, and have come to the conclusion that the figure on the display is well off the charts, and over 20mpg more than the 'true life' figure. For example after a 300 mile test over 3 days, riding frugaly and smoothly, i got the display to show an incredible 192.5mpg average. however when i calculated the actual usage it came out at 169mpg - still great, but nothing like i expected. Over another few days, i did a similar distance and the display read 170.1 mpg, where in fact i actually 'only' got a calculated 148mpg. another time when i rode faster and revved more than usual in hilly country, i actually averaged about 125mpg. My conclusion so far is that do not take the figures on the bike instrument display as gospel, it just gives you a indicuation of 'how well' you are doing, and if you really want to know do a proper avg = (miles / gallons) calculation. I'm still well happy and love the bike, and when you compare the 'worst case' to the 'best case' and take say a daily ride of 150miles, it will only cost you another £1.20 or so !! not even half the price of a cup of tea, so whatever you get it just aint worth worrying about. GL
@@Bob-ts2tu Thanks for the reply and info, in fairness your real world results are still better than I would have hoped for. The computer is probably very basic and likely assumes an average rider height and weight perhaps 'more typical of Hondas domestic market' shall we say! Whilst recovering from a serious back injury a couple of years ago I delivered pizzas on those vision 110 scooters, just needed to leave the house for a few hours and do something easy. Claimed mpg wasn't possible even with exemplary behaviour. Still superb though. As your engine beds in more and more you may find it gets even better. It's incredible really, there's lots of BICYCLES that cost similar money, and maintenance cost per mile with pedal power really adds up too.
It was great to see, it's a really great bike. It's also available to buy here. You sent many greetings to Scotland, I send you many greetings from Bavaria (Germany). The older I get, the more I love small motorbikes, I would like to go to Greece next time with a small motorbike (Honda NX 250), but maybe also with a CB 125F. Like you, I think this motorbike is the best of the small motorbikes at the moment. Great video and great channel I have subscribed to it. With kind regards
Hello and thank you for mentioning us all in the UK. Love the review and I will be buying one as a second bike. You should get a reward from Honda and wheelie and promoting this great bikegreat. Will post some videos on youtube of my new bike is recieved. Well presented and your english is very good. Thanks for sharing
I am in the UK getting roughly 165mpg which is roughly 59 km/litre (1.7 litres per 100km), but I am heavier and its very hilly here. Although 6' 2" the tank hasn't been a problem as my lower legs are shorter. Great review and good tips about straps!
FYI: i just made a post on this thread about the inaccuracy of the figures given on the display. next time you go to fill her up, zero trip A, (which resets the avg as you will know), and when you come to fill her up again take note of the litres of fuel used, the miles covered since last filled, and what the average says, and im sure you will be a little shocked at how far the displayed average figure is off. For example on my list trip using 2 visits to the pump, i used 11.04 litres of fuel for an odo distance of 369.2 miles on TripA & 358.3 miles on my beeline moto app, so used an average figure of 363.75 miles. This calcs as a 'true' average of 149.59mpg, with the bike display showing 170.1mpg - a big difference. I'd be interested to know what others actually get and not taking the displayed value as accurate, that's if anyone can be bothered lol. GL
@@Bob-ts2tu Ok I will do the calculation, my method will be to fill the tank up to the bottom of the collar, I am able to do this as I always fill it up from a can not the pump, drive a measured distance and then refill the tank using a 1 litre measuring cylinder (which I bought for use with my other bike). I am also interested to see how the figures compare! Incidentally the mpg figure has gone down as the weather cooled, it seemed to be doing the best MPG at 25 degrees C but now its nearer 10 degrees C so the MPG has gone down to less than 140mpg. Probably due to headwinds and the cold.
@@Bob-ts2tu Will do, just waiting for the wind to drop a bit here, otherwise the readings will be very low, I live near the coast and the head winds can be very strong at times. Better to do a realistic test!
@@truthseeker104 I went out at last weekend for a 60 mile ride and the headwinds on the open moor tops were shrieking, making me average less than 130mpg (on the bike reading), but by the end of the ride recovered to 160, (which is probably a true average 20mpg less). i wont know until i refill, but im keeping all my figures so i can see just how it varies over time. A bit geekish i know, but it's just curiosity. GL
Excellent informative review my friend - I am from the UK and I will buy one in the spring. I will fit wider tyres on it, just to make it look a bit more chunky!
@travelmoto Thanks for your great video. Can you take this motorcycle for long rides at full throttle on hot days without any problems or does the engine overheat? From Germany to Spain perhaps. Greetings from Germany.
Hello my friend I am from the UK and am very pleased with your video review. It has helped me a lot, I will subscribe. you are a very funny character which makes it interesting. The idea at 12:40 with the strap under the seat is genius I like it.
Βασίλη πόσα χιλιόμετρα του έχεις κάνει; Γιατί είδα στο καντράν οτι έχεις κλειδάκι για service αναμμένο.. Ή απο την αλλαγή λαδιών στα πρώτα 1000 δεν το έσβησες, ή έφτασες κιόλας στα 6000 που ξαναθέλει service.. ή έχει θέμα το μηχανάκι.. Μάλλον το ξέχασες.. (με πατημένο το δεξί κουμπί, άνοιξε τον δακόπτη(μη το βαλεις μπρος) στάσου λιγα δευτ/λεπτα και θα φύγει..)
I just made a trip from Greece to Seville Spain and back (8.000km) it was a crazy trip many days ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lvHs-LdBP5c.html&ab_channel=travelmoto
Hi! After this video i went to the local Honda shop and I bought my brand new Honda cbf 125! I have to wait few days for the paperworks but the next week I will get it! Thanks for you suggestions
i’ve owned one of these for about 4 months, and it’s a fantastic bike, comfortable, fuel efficient, but for me (6’3, 120kg) it just lacks a little bit of power
Seems like they downgraded the front break on the 2024 version: from the two piston caliper to a single piston caliper. Can anyone give an expert comment on this?
Καλησπέρα και συγχαρητήρια για το βίντεο. Σκέφτομαι να πάρω το CB125F ή το SUPRA 125 X όταν έρθει. Απλά σε αυτό το μόνο που με απασχολεί είναι ο συμπλέκτης. Δεν έχω καμία εξοικείωση με συμπλέκτη. Τον συνηθίζεις εύκολα; Σε ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για τον χρόνο σου. Τις επόμενες μέρες θα πάω στον Γκινοσάτη για να το δοκιμάσω. Είμαι και στα 48 τώρα και είναι λίγο πιο δύσκολο να συνηθίσω κάτι. Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ και πάλιν, καλή συνέχεια
Today sows are in fashion .. you die before the engine starts ... Nice bike, the Japanese should make a bike like this with a 250 cc air-cooled parallel twin engine max 130 kg weight and with a tank of 15l ...
