That's what a CB125F can do in the right hands.

Yes Jim, they are good on fuel. The C125 Cub is listed at 188mpg also.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Only 188.4 mpg!
The Honda brochure says 44 miles per litre.
44 X 4.54 = 199.
I want a 300 version of that for my Forza, please. PLEASE!

That's really appealing - the engine technology sounds similar to the Forza 125, and that's a cracking little engine. Pity it doesn't have the Forza's 14bhp!

When out on a 'Great Fun on Small Bikes' club rides the Coffee's and food cost's more than the Petrol, Hunter Cubs (CT125) and C125's, Innova's and Waves do a days ride on about 3 litres, it makes little difference if they are run flat out.

Re: Only 188.4 mpg!
- and my CN250 Helix does something like 70 mpg but haven't felt the need to check it! But have got too old for another bike now....

Re: Only 188.4 mpg!
I am the proud owner of a 2021 CB125F, I don't bother with MPG records but the digital dash has recorded 186mpg on the first tank full, dropping down to 178 now.
I have used the bike on a Honda Owners Club ride and had no trouble keeping up with others on their 600+cc bikes, I may have impressed a few of them.
I look forward to every ride on the bike, it handles, brakes and rides perfect. A 400+ mile tank range, linked Drum/ Hydraulic disc brake, LED lights, a good clear dash with a range setting. The engine is the new design with balance shift and alternator starting system.

Pictures Dave, pictures! Love them bikes. I've had a couple of 125 Hondas years ago. Great bikes! Enjoy and congratulations.Dave Weller wrote: Mon Jan 10, 2022 7:29 pm I am the proud owner of a 2021 CB125F, I don't bother with MPG records but the digital dash has recorded 186mpg on the first tank full, dropping down to 178 now.

Data, all my bikes end up looking the same, givi box and rack, 12volt socket on the handlebars, a screen this time a Puig.
Sorry I don't do pictures, but if you look at great fun on small bikes (facebook) a few pictures are on there.
