REVIEW

This early-entry motorcycle – a tenacious sibling of the CB1000R – really makes a statement with its alloy radiator shroud, hugging sump guard and all-black engine. A new tubular frame and tough-looking 41mm upside-down forks are topped with a state-of-the-art LCD instrument panel; headlight, taillight and indicators are all LED for extra brightness. Quality touches like beefy 41mm upside down forks, a four piston radial caliper and an LCD dash give the CB125R an added layer of sophistication not found elsewhere in this class.
