The Honda CB125N was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, a series known for its reliable machines of different engine displacements. The CB125N was manufactured in the early 1980s and was powered by a 124cc engine coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.
In 1981, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB125N, a motorcycle known for lightweight and maneuverability, best suited for city riders. The bike also featured an electric starter and a front disc brake, which at the time were relatively new features.
In addition, the CB125N entry-level machine came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as an analog instrument panel, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a chromed exhaust system, a one-piece dual seat, a blacked-out steel frame, a side stand, and wire-spoked wheels.
For suspension, the model packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear, while the stopping power was achieved by a 240 mm disc with a cable-operated caliper on the front wheel and a 130 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel.
In the performance department, the 1981 Honda CB125N took its thrust from a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by a Keihin carburetor that helped deliver an output power of 14 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,900 rpm.
