2014 Honda CBR 125R Overview

For 2014, Honda offers the CBR 125R as a sport motorcycle with 124.70 cc on tap. The 2014 Honda CBR 125R is built around a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running SOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.0:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 75 x 56.5 mm. Out on the road, the CBR 125R delivers 10.60 Nm of torque. In everyday use, the 2014 CBR 125R tips the scales at 250 kg, carries a 10-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 795 mm and spans a 1,070 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 55.2 kg heavier than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2014 Honda CBR 125R spec sheet below.

2014 Honda CBR 125R compared with other bikes in the Sport category

Measured against other bikes in the Sport category in our database (up to 2003 models, one entry per model), the 2014 Honda CBR 125R comes out as follows.

With 10.6 Nm, the CBR 125R has the 54th lowest torque of 1573 bikes in the Sport category, 86% below the category average of 75.6 Nm.
Engine displacement of 125 cc is smaller than that of 1847 of the other 2002 bikes in the Sport category.
Only 109 of the other 1212 bikes in the Sport category have a heavier wet weight than the 250 kg of the CBR 125R.
Narrowing the field to the 632 models within five model years of it, the torque of 10.6 Nm is lower than that of 591 of the other 631.

Versus the 2013 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2013 model: peak torque, displacement and seat height all match.

2014 CBR 125R - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Strong front braking: The single disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.

Considerations

Modest fuel capacity: A 10-litre tank keeps things light but means budgeting for more frequent fuel stops on any longer ride.
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the CBR 125R comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Valve clearance checks

Valve clearances on SOHC-equipped engines like the CBR 125R's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.

Brake disc and pad wear

Single disc up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Telescopic up front and Monshock at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the CBR 125R means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Diamond chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Handling the weight at a standstill

The CBR 125R's 250 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.

CBR 125R - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2014 Honda CBR 125R with its 124.70 cc sport should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 12 years old, this sport is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept CBR 125R settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the CBR 125R's 124.70 cc single cylinder, four-stroke - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With an 11.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the CBR 125R's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.

Valve clearance service

There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a CBR 125R's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
