Introduction

The CBF125 is popular with entry riders, commuters and experienced bikers. It is sporty, sleek and modern with a style and character that are unique in its class. Big-bike styling and build quality are combined with compact convenience and easy handling. The CBF125 is also comfortable, dependable and remarkably economical to run.

It is powered by a fuel-injected engine that easily delivers enough power and torque for a satisfying and confidence-building ride. The engine starts up easily and reliably with a push-button electric starter, and light, smooth control of its power is easy with a 5-speed gear shift lever. Impressive fuel efficiency makes the CBF125 easy on the environment as well as the pocket.

The chassis is light, responsive and easy to manoeuvre through traffic. A front disc brake and rear drum brake contribute to a stable, confident ride. The 6-spoke alloy wheels and tubeless tyres are easy to clean and maintain as well as enhancing the smooth ride feel. High-quality rear suspension components and a compliant 30mm telescopic front fork add to handling confidence.

The CBF125 feels natural and comfortable to ride, with raised handlebars and a low seat creating an upright posture and a reassuring view of surrounding traffic. There’s also plenty of room for a passenger. The attractive half cowl integrates a small, tinted windscreen that offers wind

protection at higher speeds. The sporty-looking instrument panel features a large speedometer, indicator lights and a fuel gauge. A range of Genuine Accessories is also available to further enhance styling and convenience.
