Honda CB 125F - Detailed review

Honda CB 125F - Detailed review
The beginning of 2019 was about the long-awaited model presented by the Honda Atlas - the Honda CB 125F.
Atlas Honda Pakistan was the most popular brand in the country for decades. The automotive industry in Pakistan has also grown very fast from five years ago. Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki have turned their equipment in terms of technology and design. Gone are the days when traditional motorcycles were only available to the local rider.

Atlas Honda Pakistan, which already owns a series of motorcycles in the 125cc category introduced a whole new CB 125F system. Other models in the same engine capacity bracket are:
1. Honda CG 125
2. Honda CG 125 Dreamer
3. Honda Deluxe (stop)
Honda launched its all-new CB 125F at a launch event in Lahore on January 4, 2019 . The event was full of expectations in terms of what the company brought to the table, this time. However, it ended with a common perception that CB 125F was just another alternative to the Honda Deluxe now suspended with some changes.

The Honda Atlas CB 125F was launched in two forms:
• Honda CB 125F (Basic)
• Honda CB 125F (Special Edition)
The all-new Honda CB-125F is a direct competitor to the CBR125G, which was launched in 2018.
the design
The two variables of this form are presented in different colors. The basic shape of this motorcycle comes in three colors including red, blue and black, while the SE variant comes in red and black only with a different color combination system.


The motorcycle has an aggressive and sporty facade with an elegant front lamp, which comes with a neon light under a modern mask. However, CB 125F indicators are disappointing. Honda used the old indicators for CD 70 in CB 125F, which did not fit the aggressive front appearance of the bike. The plastic cover extends from the headlight, along with the side covers and the graphic sticker on the fuel tank in the basic shape of the silver colored motorcycle. However, the front mud visor of the bike is the color of the body.
In the special edition, the plastic cover extending from the side of the lamp and the sticker on the fuel tank is red, while the side covers and front mud guards are black. The front mud guards for the CB125 F are red, while the special version comes in black. The CB 125F contains a sporty fuel tank with stylish redesigned graphics on both sides.

Instead of having a sloping rear angle to extend the sporty appearance of a motorcycle, the seat of this model is very flat. It also makes it an ideal motorcycle for low-seat families. The aluminum retention rod is small compared to the CB150F, which runs behind the tail light. The Tail Light is a elegantly designed part that adds elegance to the back side of the motorcycle. In general, the motorcycle looks sporty and emotional while looking at the back of the car, it looks more than a two-wheeled car. Perhaps the Honda Atlas has tried to incorporate two designs into CB 125F.


While we are talking about the information gathering standard for CB 125F, there is not much to highlight. There are two separate circular meters on the screen. Honda is optimistic in its approach by providing a speedometer with a top speed of 160 km / h which is practically not achievable with this motorcycle. Along with the speedometer, there is a tachometer at the bottom of which a fuel gauge is provided within the same counter. There is a logo for the Honda Atlas on the bottom of the two wheels. In addition, there is a neutral indicator between signal indicators.


Unlike other models where a side lock is secured for safety, the CB 125F has a lock inside the ignition key. You only need to rotate the key to the far right to lock the handle. The side mirrors of CB 125F are disappointing. They are traditional in style, similar to those fitted in the Honda CD 70. On the right handle, we have a red color button, self-start which is not of good quality. The left handle contains all the main controls, such as the headlight, which are supplied with the high beam option. The role indicators are also provided with a two-way button plus a toot button.

Technical Specifications:
The Honda CB 125F comes with a 440 OHC (OHV) air engine. Without a balancer, the introduction of a new model in 2019 using OHV technology is a big disappointment from Honda's Atlas. The presence of a direct competitor such as the Yamaha YBR125, which comes with the Overshaft Camshaft (OHC), is not a smart move by the manufacturer. The two techniques vary in terms of cylinder header configuration.
