Honda CBF 125 2014 - Motorcycle specifications

Touring

With this small city bike, Honda's CBF range has grown, and so has the 125 range. After the 600 in S and N, after the 1000, the CBF concept is now available in a 1/8th-liter version. A judicious choice that broadens the range: a small sports bike: the CBR 125 R; a road trail bike: the Varadero 125; an affordable tourer: hop on, the CBF 125.

Compact, economical, fuel-efficient and powered by a single-cylinder engine... this is the descendant of the CG 125. Designed for beginners, city dwellers and anyone looking for a two-wheeler to get around, the CBF125 has received the same attention as the other basics in the Honda range. Its fuel-injected engine has been designed to deliver maximum power and torque. But don't dream: a 4-stroke single will never offer you the performance of an old 2-stroke sports bike like the Cagiva Mito or the Aprilia RS 125. It's more suited to urban use, with low maintenance requirements.
With its low weight and finger-wide tires, the chassis promises to be agile and lively. The single front brake disc will be more than enough to stop you in your tracks at crossroads. Inspired by the 1st-generation CBR sibling, the design is sporty, racy, modern and resolutely European.

Offered at a rock-bottom price, the CBF 125 should more than live up to its billing as the ultimate economical motorcycle. These days, reasonable motorcycles of this kind are becoming increasingly important.

monmirel Model 2014

a great machine for touring and capable of keeping up with the flow of traffic without any problems. its detractors have never put their arses on it! it can do 100 km/h without any problems, which is enough on the main roads: 110, but not a rocket! that's true. but with its 11 hp and featherweight, it can surprise on start-up with its narrow tires! another strong point is the reliability of this brand, which is the most solid of the first-price models! the tires: you need quality: very important for safety: there are 50s with better original tires. very good tourer for taking your time and very stable in crosswinds. handling a real toy! compared to the big custom bikes I've had: only about 120 kilos. 07/06/2023 22:57 Rating : 5/5 Respond to monmirel

Mbls Model 2009

Excellent bike, I started my motorcycling life with it for 2 years, on the 2009 model. Good pick-up, pleasant engine, it's very intuitive and you quickly get the hang of it. The seat is quite comfortable, but won't stop your butt hurting after 60 kilometers.
Apart from that, the engine is sometimes not powerful enough (11 hp), the bike looks like a toy, and it's not particularly suitable for grown-ups. If, like me, you're a rugby player, you'll really feel like you've got a bike between your legs

Otherwise, it's an excellent bike, almost perfect for beginners, and I almost regret selling it to move up to a big cube. 11/05/2022 22:46 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Mbls

caro44 Model 2014

i have just bought the CBF 125 from 01/14
I have a problem...While driving at 100km/h, it cut off dead. stop and impossible to restart...
My husband took a look. Spark plug changed, CDI box changed, but still nothing..
No ignition, starter ok, fuel pump ok (makes noise when starting), ignition coil not powered...
Has anyone had this problem or have any idea of the problem?
Thanks for your help 03/03/2017 11:29 Rating : 3/5 Respond to caro44

A little late I had the same problem at 46,000 km and a second time today even at 93,000 km it's the ignition the rotor that burns out my bike is from 2016 I'm a delivery man and here we are in 2023 but this time I'm not changing it because it consumes a little oil it costs me too much so I'm going to take the 2023 model with corrections on the ignition which cost me with break included 350 €. Ah ah above all change the chain which is too fragile the sprockets of the rear wheel the gearbox put only a reinforced chain that the chain it avoids the breakages and you will be quiet for a good moment especially do not make you have by the dealer because it changes the whole take only the chain with O-ring good evening 10/12/2023 19:12 Rating : 2/5 Participate in the conversation

jerome9359 Model 2010

Superb Nickel motorcycle.
No problems, good finish, great for beginners, reliable, easy to handle and light. Good acceleration and recovery. Conso rdidicule 500 km with a full tank of 15 liters ... No need for much maintenance.
Minus :
- Toy look, good tire (but light and increases vmax)
- Vmax 110-120 (no more)
- 2010 version no lap counter
- The big pot...
- Lots of plastic... but it's a 125 at ~2000â'¬

In short, I recommend it!

ErDoZz Model 2012

Perfect bike for beginners!
I've only recently got my A2 license, and I've decided to go for a 125 to get the hang of it, but also because it's a lot cheaper.
As far as I'm concerned, it's best used on country and national roads, not just in town (4-lane roads and the like should be avoided).
As for fuel consumption, I drove 320km on a full tank and only used 8 liters! 10â'¬ per 300km is hardly better!

In short, I'm fully satisfied with this bike :D 04/15/2016 22:27 Rating : 4/5 Respond to ErDoZz

merci honda!!!

vivian31 Model 2014

motorcycle very pleasant and easy to ride.... only downside don't fall on a mule like mine!!!why a mule? i bought this bike new in april 2013 it spent its first year at honda every 2 months... fairing badly assembled cylinder head gasket, oil pressure sensor, cylinder head hs, 2 fuel pump in 2 months, (this bike does not run on sp 95 but 98 because when it's hot the fuel pump blocks with 95 great when you're in the left lane on a bypass) valve stem gasket manufacturing defect excessive oil consumption cylinder piston tightening primer.... replaced at 5000kms as well as the rims which were peeling 10 months after 9500kms on the odometer I have again the rims which lose the paint the frame rusts at the level of the weld under the tank and honda refuses the 8th guarantee because I did not make the revision of 9000kms with them .... with all the damage which I had with this motor bike never the customer service of honda never contacted me. So, in order to play the game, I'm filing a case for latent defect and non-conformity concerning the quality of the products .... through my insurance company and its legal department. If you think I'm being abusive, I can provide you with all the documents from honda concerning all the warranties. It's disgraceful to come to this from a market-leading brand. It may be the brand's basic bike, but it's a nice "merde" stamped honda on the tank... 02/15/2015 02:30 Rating : 2/5 Respond to vivian31

Impeccable pour débuter

PATMO Model 2014

Instant grip. Good looks. Sober as a camel.
However, beware if you're over 1m80 tall: it's a bit tight, and the driving position can be awkward after 3 quarters of an hour - one hour of continuous use. Excellent value for money 10/14/2014 15:26 Rating : 4/5 Respond to PATMO

Hello,

Indeed, if you don't feel comfortable with your current tyre, it's advisable to choose another brand or another type of tire. Each tire has its own characteristics and gives a different feel from one bike to another and from one rider to another.
In which conditions do you feel most at ease, and in which does it become most difficult to ride? Is it when you change direction, or when the road surface changes?
All these questions will help you to find the answers you're looking for. Alternatively, you can visit a specialist (dealer) for advice and to steer you towards a particular make and type.

We wish you a pleasant journey 10/01/2014 12:30 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

Excellent rapport qualite prix

geoffroy Model 2013

Excellent bike for a beginner. Attractive design, lively and pleasant to ride in the countryside. No worries about city riding. Goes well up to 90 km/h. As a reminder, a 125cm3 10CV IS NOT FOR HIGHWAY. Lzss comments a cz subject are irrelevant. Pay 2,000 euros fully equipped with engine mount and rev counter. 08/26/2013 13:22 Rating : 4/5 Respond to geoffroy

psychic40 Model 2009

pleasant bike to ride around town, very agile, low fuel consumption (approx. 350 km on a full tank of 18â'¬ ), but an obvious lack of power to try and get a moment's pleasure out of it. 06/25/2013 02:05 Rating : 3/5 Respond to psychic40

rene Model 2013

A very good semi-clad motorcycle, suitable for even the longest daily rides, often priced at 2000e, which leaves plenty of money to equip it with all sorts of useful and effective accessories, such as good winter tires, a U-shaped carrier, a high bubble, a top-case for a helmet, a boot, and a complete stainless-steel pot line. For an extra 500 or 600e, you'll have a very complete bike for the classic road network. Once the mechanics have been thoroughly run-in, a high bubble has been fitted and the engine is gradually freed up, this 125 will have little to envy its more expensive rivals. 01/05/2013 16:05 Rating : 4/5 Respond to rene

mimich34 Model 2010

very good second bike, for going to work during the week (while saving the big cube). with a fuel consumption of 2.5 to 2.6 l per 100 km in town and suburbs, it gives you a range of 500 km before each fill-up (at the price of fuel it's not negligible). Not greedy for oil (oil change every 4000 km for optimal performance), but plan to change the brake pads at the same time, and change the size of the tires to get the excellent grip that the original ones don't offer, and widen the rear-view mirror so you don't just see your elbows. 10/14/2012 21:46 Rating : 5/5 Respond to mimich34

lucifer Model 2012

Very good little 125, economical (less than 3l/100km), super easy to overhaul yourself (if done by concess honda then very expensive), decent performance (a good 110km/h with a 110kg rider) and great looks. The only problem is the space under the seat, which is almost non-existent, so a top-case is almost compulsory.
Otherwise, I've already clocked up more than 8,000km on a 2011 model, and I've never had a problem. 06/22/2012 22:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to lucifer

lucifer999 Model 2011

Very pleasant bike to ride, even for a beginner, very sober (less than 3litres per 100km), the only downside being the top speed of 110km/h (but hey, it's a 125cm3).
The ideal motorcycle for work/home commutes, which is what I'm used to, with 50km out and 50km back with no worries for this little cbf. 05/26/2012 23:08 Rating : 4/5 Respond to lucifer999

rene Model 2012

A very good 125 for the price, which I prefer to the Ybr with its overly "feet forward" position. What's more, its modern look can make all the difference. It's also very pleasant to ride, better than the old CG with its more vibrating engine and less serious chassis. The one I tested climbed quite quickly to 110/115 mph, which surprised me, as did the rather special position near the handlebars. I think that with an ermax or givi high bubble, a complete line like leo vince (a tank and/or seat bag), it makes a nice and efficient bike for less than 2500e. 04/27/2012 23:43 Rating : 5/5 Respond to rene

baboben5 Model 2009

I started riding with it. Bought new at 2400 euros (and not 2200 as advertised on the site)
I don't have much to compare it with, but it made me want to go for the big cube

Disadvantages: no tachometer, no space under the seat (even for a disc block), no warning system for tailgating, 110km/h speed limit (but it's a 125, so don't ask for more), bicycle tires (you shit yourself as soon as there's a bit of wind)

On the plus side: low maintenance, low fuel consumption, easy to handle, easy to maneuver, too pretty! and less expensive than the Varadero (but a bit more than the Yamaha YBR), I think the braking is also very good (considering the number of assholes in Paris, that's important)

I'll sell it with a heavy heart when I get the big cube... 02/26/2010 13:58 Rating : 5/5 Respond to baboben5
