After the launch of the Honda CB 150 F again in 2017, Atlas Honda, the largest holder of the market in Pakistan for motorcycles, the New Year began the launch of the Honda CB 125 P car. New Bike 125 CC capacity in the market, where I realized Yamaha YBR roots and has proven itself as one of the best bike ride from the city to the long tourist bike.
So, could you compete the Honda CB 125 F with Yamaha YBR 125? Let's start by comparing and decide for yourself which bike is best suited for your use.
Please note that I have compared the most important parts that make the core of any bike otherwise the material will become very long and boring.
Before I start comparing, let's first take a look at the technical specifications of both bikes:

Engine type:
Yamaha YBR 125: SOHC, 4-Stroke
Honda CB 125 F: OHV, 4-Stroke
One of the major and articular differences is the types of their engines. The Honda CB 125 F is an OHV car while the Yamaha YBR 125 is the OHC engine. Now we know that OHV is an old but not obsolete technology, while OHC engines are now common in almost every car. The upward trend of the OHV engine is that these engines are simpler in design and have lower production cost while the OHC engine has a higher production cost due to its complex design, ie a complex roller head.
The OHC engine can get higher RPMs in your bike while it is not recommended to use higher RPM in OHV because of pressure. Because on the higher RPMs, pushrods must withstand great pressure and may disintegrate. There are other types of ups and downs in both types of engines, but OHV is less common compared to OHC as OHC engines are fuel efficient. Another proof on the OHV is that it gives you an early torque or torque per minute rpm, but the downside is that it produces a lot of vibrations. OHV is also twice the fuel consumption.
So, Yamaha YBR 125 got a better engine.
Gear shift pattern:
Yamaha YBR 125: Reverse Shift Pattern
Honda CB 125 F: Forward Shift Pattern
Now, this is interesting. I was expecting to have a reverse shift pattern in the Honda CB 125 F but it is turning forward. Both are good to go but there is a clear reason for manufacturers who add reverse shift pattern in bikes. As of Pakistan where most bikes are manufactured taking into account the street racer, the forward shift is the best. I just know here that the reverse shift gives the rider interest on deeper curves. This is famous for racing bikes where it needs to focus on the road instead of the foot movement.
Both shift patterns are fine. There is nothing more to debate about.
Ground clearance, wheel base and dry weight:
Surprisingly, the Honda CB 125 F features a lower ground cut and a longer wheelbase compared to the Yamaha YBR 125. This means that the Honda CB 125 F gives a better road grip and grip compared to Yamaha YBR 125.
The Honda CB 125 F has a much more attractive weight compared to Yamaha YBR 125. The extra weight also captures the grip of the road and handling the bike but comes with the cost of the bike under power if the ratio of energy to weight is not appropriate.
Balancer:
The Yamaha YBR 125 comes with an engine balance which reduces the vibrations felt by the steering wheel, seat and footpegs. "Since the Honda CB 125 F is an OHV engine with no added stabilizer, we expect a lot of vibrations like CG or at least Honda Delux," Yamaha says on their website.
So, the Yamaha YBR 125 will give the rider a smoother ride experience compared to the Honda CB 125 V. Honda must have a stabilizer or similar to reduce vibrations. The downside is clear so far.
Pressure ratio:
Yamaha YBR 125: 10.0: 1
Honda CB 125 F: 9.0: 1
As for the pressure ratio, YBR takes command. More compression ratio means more fuel consumption but a strong blow to the piston and lead to more power for the wheel. Honda behind it, but because of the OHV engine, it produces early torque. YBR may not give you an early pick (early torque) but in the long term, Yamaha YBR 125 will certainly beat the Honda CB 125 125 F. But for a short burst race, the Honda CB 150F or even the CG 125 will win the race.
price:
Yamaha YBR 125: 139,500 Pakistani Rupee / -
Honda CB 125 F: PKR 159, 900 / - and PKR 161, 900 / - Special Edition
Now, this is the deciding factor. What you will get at these prices will determine the success of each bike. As for Yamaha YBR 125 (especially YBR 125 G), it has already proven itself in the Pakistani market as well as in tours. Honda CB 125 F is new in the market and has not yet been concluded. However, there are approximately 20,000 Rs difference in each of their prices. All the features available in Yamaha YBR 125 are also available in the Honda CB CB 125 F. Therefore, the price of the Honda CB 125 F is justified even if it has an old OHV engine.
Well, if I close, the Honda CB 125 F is overpriced because Yamaha YBR 125 is the best in most features of the Honda CB 125 F and Yamaha YBR 125 is cheaper.
Apart from that, it is clear that the Honda CB 125 F looks just a Honda upgrade Deluxe. The common things that were missing in the Honda Deluxe such as the tachometer, fuel indicator, motion mode indicator, self-moving and alloy rim are now available in the Honda CB 125 V.
