Tell us what you think of this CBR 125 R 2015

presentation of the CBR 125 R 2015

with each mutation (this is the third), the youngest CBR changes radically. First a copy of the CBR 600 FS, it became a CBR 600 RR clone, and is now jealous of its CBR 300 sister, unless it secretly envies the VFR 1200; but always with a shadow of the CBR 1000 RR behind the silhouette. Whatever the case, it was time for the little sports bike to renew itself. To offer the same ease of use in a more modern, more appealing package. And for 2015, one of the dresses on offer is nothing less than Marc Marquez's official MotoGP deco - no mean feat!

and it's true that the fairing, the V-shaped optics and the more plush shapes give it a certain charm. It could be mistaken for a bike in the higher segment. Its speedometer, taken from the ex 250 , is also better made than the previous generation. For 2011, the youngsters' sports bike has been fitted with wider tires - 100/80 and 130/70 - which give it even more allure. It's true that the previous 8 cm and 10 cm wide tires looked like the gumdrops of a moped. The short (and voluminous) exhaust is also in keeping with Honda's new identity. An oxygen sensor and catalytic converter make the 125 CBR a little less polluting.

the technical elements are the same as those of the previous generation. A double-beam steel frame, a 31 mm fork, 2 brake discs to stop the machine (276 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear). Only the mono has lost a little power in 2013: its half-horsepower reduction brings watts to 12.76 hp at 10,000 rpm. On the other hand, little attention has been paid to fuel consumption. A little work on the fuel injection and a modified final gear ratio should make it a little more sober. Incidentally, the fuel filter has been moved to the outside of the fuel tank for easier access.

all is not rosy, however. Weighing in at 137 kg, the CBR 125 R cru 2011-2015 is 10 kilos heavier. Outch! Well, what's 10 kilos??? Carry a 6-pack of 1.5-liter Coke for 400 m and you'll feel the difference. This stoutness puts it on a par with its main rival, the Yamaha YZF-R 125. But if you keep its price under control, the CBR 125 R still has a bright future ahead of it.

Carburation

Trifluvien Model 2016

Hello, Carburetion problem on a 2005 CBR125R. I'm looking for any information or workshop manual to diagnose my problem, unless there is a recurring problem known on this machine that year. Observations: Unstable idle Starting and engine running exclusively on choke Immediate cut-off if choke cut-off Immediate cut-off if the air intake on the left side of the carburetor is blocked. Beyond that, this machine is excellent... Thanks 07/29/2023 13:01 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Trifluvien

Good evening,
There is no 'cartridge' type oil filter on the CBR125R but a sieve near the oil pump accessible by removing the right side housing (clutch side). It only needs to be cleaned every 20,000 kms (if necessary) 10/28/2020 23:06 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

nimois Model 2011

for a first motorcycle s\'est la 125 cbr honda moi je dit ok ses top ensuite pour être honnête question bruit elle et trop silencieuse voire mème dangereuse en ville car le pot d'échappement catalyseur et d\'un silence éfroyable ses simple aucune voiture ne vous entend et il faut redoublé voire meme déculper vigilance i had to get cut in half several times by cars that don't see you, okay, but worse still, don't hear you. In short, if you don't have any crazy reflexes and you're riding this bike in town, don't buy it not even the kids with their little scooters make more noise than the 125 cbr what a shame. So much for the most j\'avoue everyone stops in front of the bike to contemplate it and and elegant beautiful and flashy question speed bof don't try to overtake when you don't have enough margin in short it's the best thing about it in short, it lacks the power at least to overtake, so here's a tip to avoid dying with it, make some modifications to the muffler and, above all, get rid of the catalytic converter, which is too quiet m'est quand je dit trop silencieux s\'est même abuser

As the owner of a 2007 125 Cbr, I can tell you that this is the most versatile 125 (4-stroke) there is (vmax, acceleration, acceleration, etc.)
It's equally at home in town or on the freeway.
Having tested a number of models, I can tell you that this is the best !

Hello !! I wanted to ask you what makes you say that this is THE 125 to buy! I've always had motorcycles but given my age I can no longer see myself picking up a GSX 1100 or zz-r or other nor fall with younger no problem so the only solution is a 125 well manual and Honda is my youth can you give me the pluses and especially the minuses if you do not mind of course!!! It's mainly the quality / price ratio .merci et bonne journée. 06/02/2025 10:41 Rating : 2/5 Participate in the conversation

Ben l\'arsouill Model 2015

Hi everyone,
I finished the break-in 400 km ago, so I can finally give you some objective feedback on the bike.
It's a very good bike, it wants it, it gives it. The engine is available at all revs, although most of the time it's at its best between 9,000 and 10,000.
It's not afraid of the freeway, with 130 easily accessible, and even when it's windy, the bike defends itself well (admittedly there's a slight slowdown, but that's normal for a small 125).
All in all, the bike is excellent, except for the gear selector, which was a bit "snaggy" during the break-in period, but once the 1000 km were up and running and the overhaul done, it went smoothly.
There you have it, and on that note, bon route...

Moto vitesse pied droite

astro Model 2012

hello,

i'm looking to buy my 1st motorcycle... what's blocking me is my handicap, basically I don't have a lifter on my left foot. it's hard to shift gears... so I'd like to know if it exists with the gear selector on the right?

thanks in advance. 03/24/2015 20:36 Rating : 5/5 Respond to astro

Hi Astro, I don't know if there's a modification to change the side selector, but if your problem comes from lifting your foot, there are double selectors that allow you to shift gears with your heel. This is very common in Africa and Asia, where most riders wear flip-flops (not easy to shift gears barefoot).
Hoping to have helped you

Keep up the good work and let me know if it helps.

Moon Model 2013

I started out on a CBF 125, which was far too boring for this CBR, which is of excellent quality, more responsive, more playful and more rewarding.

This little bike exudes reliability, although I did have a few problems with vibrations on the cowl and fairing, but these were easily solved (a washer to eliminate the play on a screw and a bit of double-sided tape). That's all there is to say on the negative side, as it has a good chassis and good performance for a 125, with no fear of 130km/h, or even 140km/h in certain favorable conditions. I've had comments from bikers who thought they were following a 500 or 250 on the road.

But the downside is that it pushed me to take the big cube licence earlier than planned, and you quickly become a two-wheeler addict on a machine like this ;) 12/29/2013 12:38 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Moon

Hello !

This is not a spark plug. It's a lambda sensor which, depending on the oxygen content of the exhaust gases, enables the ECU to adjust the engine's richness.

rene Model 2013

rating of 4.5/5 due to a lack of power for a cycle part that has grown in size. The seat is also a little thin, and the price too high. Otherwise, everything else is very good, including the engine, which is a rare pleasure to ride, especially as it has matured. Performance is good for a 125, higher than the cbf, and the endurance is incredible, even when you're pushing it hard all the time. I recommend it. 01/13/2013 13:03 Rating : 4/5 Respond to rene

So, I've been testing 125s for quite a long time and this Honda lacks speed compared to the Yamaha WR125X (admittedly too expensive).

rene Model 2012

In fact, the bike is now only about 13hp (around 14hp with a good adaptable pot!). Because of the slight overweight, vmax will perhaps be reached less often than with the excellent previous version, which my son greatly appreciated when he started out (after the no less excellent MZ rt). This engine doesn't budge whatever conditions you put it through (ditto for the MZ), and restarts right away the next day, whatever the weather, to get back to work or school. The engine is really excellent (although breaking in a 125 needs to be done carefully and progressively), and the chassis is excellent (downright excellent on the old version if you're less than 1.75m tall). 05/04/2012 01:34 Rating : 5/5 Respond to rene

Error: The bike does not have 15 hp.
The average fuel consumption is shown on the official Honda website.
The weight gain isn't that noticeable, since it's spread over the whole bike, and the engine is a hair more powerful (and with lower fuel consumption) than the old model. 01/23/2012 22:24 Rating : 5/5 Respond to AAA

i have a bit of trouble with this story of competition the bikes presented are less efficient and with a position much more sporty the real competitor of this machine is the daelim roadsport which is in the same position (I tested both) almost the same engine except that the cbr still lacks a camshaft and a bit of torque 08/31/2011 23:34 Rating : 5/5 Respond to arsteseb
