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 47.3 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 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.
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 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. 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 a CBR 125R's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. 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.
