In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CBR125R, a fully faired sports bike that featured the smallest displacement engine in the CBR series and was styled like its CBR600RR and CBR1000RR siblings.
The model's suspension was provided by a 31 mm telescopic fork on the front and a direct monoshock on the rear that provided optimum suspension, fitted on a double-crade steel frame that came in a narrow and lightweight package.
Also, the stopping power was handled by a single 276 mm disc with a double-piston caliper on the front and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided optimum braking performance.
In the power department, the 2006 Honda CBR125R was brought to life by a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 14 hp with a peak at 10,000 rpm and 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,250 rpm.
The power generated by the little engine was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission and a chain drive that pushed the bike to a top speed of 113 kph (70 mph).
In addition, the bike featured a full fairing with a small windscreen, dual headlights, blacked-out cast aluminum wheels, a two-up seat, a passenger grab handle, and an analog instrument cluster.
