2023 Honda CB125F - My Good Honest Review!

Thinking of buying a small commuter bike well look no further and check out my honest owners review on the 2023 Honda CB125F.

Warro, nice review. The Honda CB125 looks to be a nice nimble get around bike; very rider friendly. I love the small bore bikes. CT125, ADV150, Tu250X and XMAX 300 in my garage. How did the camping go? I look forward to seeing that segment. Cheers!

i check lots of cb125f reviews and yours is a fair assesment i think. I looked around at all sorts of 125cc machines last year, including some of the chinese ones which give great value, but am so glad i settled on the this one, it's a joy to ride every time, great mpg and the usual Honda reliability. Because used 125 prices are so buoyant (at least in the UK) IMHO it doesnt make any sense to buy a 2nd hand one, (even though i did lol), but it only had 300 miles on the clock, had it's first dealer service and was totally mint. I could sell it now for what i paid for it, but if i hadnt found this gem, i would have definately bought new. GL

I think these engines sound really sweet at low Revs, but at high revs it sounds a bit rattly and stressed, like 90kmh+.
At low revs it has a nice purr and a little whin over the top, but it sounds really tuned, like it’s making the most of all the fuel it’s getting

Thanks for the video. I'm looking at buying my 1st road bike this week and this is the model I want as a learner. Loved hearing what you thought about it & I'm from Australia too so your opinion counts.

I have the same bike and I hope to go camping or something similar this summer, looks awesome

Cheers just bought my second one for a local runabout as I'm retired.

Genuine review by the owner, thanks Warro ,

I was torn between this and the pcx for a cheap commuter. I got the pcx for the sheer practicality and the fact it has a water cooled engine. That's the main thing that bothered me, why didn't they put water cooling on this one as well... when driving slowly between heavy city centre traffic in extreme summer heat it would be a problem for the cbf because they made this bike for open road and count on the air moving across the cooling fins during ride. Other reasons for me were storage space under the seat where I can put my helmet without bothering, knee protection from wind plus ability to use legs heating blanket in winter, etc.

Nice one Warro, look forward to your camping clips.

I always think that these may better bet than the Grom for a small bike option but there is never any comparisons done between the 2. Do you still have your Grom? A comparison test would be interesting. Nice review by the way. Cheers

Great review Warro, I have to say it looks like a Storm Trooper from the original Star Wars.

Good review Warro. I checked and the bike isn’t available here in the US but you made me look! Looking forward to the camping video!

[Freebiker-tnim]

Nice review thanks.
Ive had this bike for 450 miles now and I never knew I should warm the engine up before taking off, I havnt done it once, I just switch it on and go. Ill let the engine warm-up from now on! Thanks!

Wish it had ABS! Great review still contemplating getting one for my L’s

[stevetaylor]

We don't get these small bikes over here for some reason? I appreciate the review, seems like it would be fun for camping and exploring the two tracks.

[raynissen]

Thanks Warro another excellent and informative review, I like your no bullshit approach . I'm going to get one of these little Honda's to put on the back of my camper van .

Just picked up a charcoal coloured one today. Seems awesome so far. 👍

[kimetogo]

Great video thanks for your thoughts, I am considering purchasing one of these and found your video very helpfull. Hope you camping went well. Cheers

Just bought myself a 125f this morning (Saturday 25th Feb) i want to start commuting to work and my GS500 with its exhaust and carby would definitely piss off my neighbors. So this little thing will be great.

Hi Warro Thanks for reviewing honda cb125f as a learner rider I’m interested on this motorbike and the Suzuki v-strom sx250
